Solar Turbines: SCIENCE QUESTIONS!!!!!? (8/6/2011)

in Solar Turbines

1. One of the problems in using solar energy is that it is difficult to (store/heat)
2. Turbines are a form of (water wheel/diesel engine)
3. Turbines are (more/less) efficient then gasoline engines)
4. All heat engines burn fuel to form a (n) (expanding/contracting) gas which pushes againist a moveable part
5. (Auto/Diesel) engines use spark plugs to ignite a compressed air-gas mixture

6. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, energy is related to which of the following? (A) force (B) mass (C) weight
7. When the nuclei of heavy atoms (with many protons) are split, this process is called (A) fission (B) fusion (C) combustion
8. The binding together of two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called (A) fission (B) fusion (C) electromotive force
9. Which nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors? (A) fission (B) fusion (C) electromotive force (D) combustion
10. Which nuclear reaction uses the least expensive materials and produces the least amount of radioactive by-products? (A) fission (B) fusion (C) electromotive force (D) combustion

1. store
2. turbines are a type of jet engine, turbo diesel uses a turbo injector, high pressure injection of air, there isalso a water wheel turbine
3 more
4. expanding
5. gasoline engines use spark plugs, they can be in autos or trucks, diesels use a glow plug to heat the fuel and air
6. Einsteins formula says energy= mass X speed of light
7. fission
8. fusion
9.fission
10.fusion
