Stream Energy

Introduction to steam energy:

There are two types of energy in nature i.e. conventional and non-conventional sources. Conventional sources of energy includes those sources of energy which derived from fossil-fuels. It includes petroleum, natural gas, diesel, etc.  Non- conventional sources includes those sources which are gift of nature and available free of cost to us. Such as Hydro energy, solar energy, Wind energy, Thermal energy. Geo-thermal energy etc. One of them is "Stream energy".  Steam energy refers to the form of the energy which is derived from the motion of water or wind. When water/wind is allowed to move at certain pace, it acquires tremendous energy due to its motion i.e. kinetic energy. Mainly, it is Kinetic energy, be it is in water or wind, which causes it to do work.

Cause of Stream energy


Energy in stream is stored in the form of heat and pressure. When water or wind molecule is flowing,  the electrons start to move at high speed. This moving molecule of water takes to the air because of its quickly moving electrons. This moving water molecule keeps away from other water/wind molecules. This distance gives rise to pressure. When this task of moving wind/water is performed at large scale, enormous amount of pressure is built. When this pressure is released, energy can be generated. This energy is known as Stream Energy. Is this topic Equation for Kinetic Energy hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.


Uses of stream energy:


Stream energy has industrial, agricultural and house hold uses. Stream energy is used in industries for power generation. The transfer of energy from the steam to the object causes it to move. Stream energy produced is used to rotate the turbine, which in turns rotates shaft of the generator.  Thus, electricity is produced. However there are certain limitations regarding the uses of stream energy. It can be used only under certain conditions and at certain places where there is ample scope of its availability. The geographical location of the place is a varying factor for the use of stream energy.
