    问：燃料在火力发电厂中作用是什么？What is the role of fuel in Fossil fuel power station？

答：火力发电厂的电能生产是依靠燃烧有机燃料来完成的,其生产过程即是能量转换过程:将燃料中的化学能转化为热能,再由热能转化为机械能,最后由机械能转化为电能,因此,火电厂实质上是一个转化能量的工厂,燃料正是这种能量转换的能源。The production of electric energy in Fossil fuel power station is completed by burning organic fuel, and its production process is the energy conversion process: the Chemical energy in the fuel is converted into heat energy, then the heat energy is converted into mechanical energy, and finally the mechanical energy is converted into electric energy. Therefore, the thermal power plant is essentially an energy conversion plant, and the fuel is the energy of this energy conversion.
