ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain. ADH is normally released by the pituitary in response to sensors that detect an increase in blood osmolality (number of dissolved particles in the blood) or decrease in blood volume.
Chemical energy is stored in coal. This energy is transferred as heat and stored in water as steam. The energy in steam is transferred to movement in a turbine and to electrical energy in the turbine.
In 1995, Coal burning produced about 55% of the electricity generated in the U.S. In addition, know coal reserves are expected to last for centuries at current rates of usage. Coal power is a rather simple process. In most coal fired power plants, chunks of coal are crushed into fine powder and are fed into a combustion unit where it is burned. Heat from the burning coal is used to generate steam that is used to spin one or more turbines to generate electricity.
