: [[Crude Oil]] has [[energy]] in its [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy store]] which can be transferred into a [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] by [[combustion]].
==Key Stage 4=Power====Meaning==='''Crude oil''' is a [[mixture]] of different [[hydrocarbon]]s, mostly [[alkane]]s, formed in an [[anoxic]] environment over millions of years from the remains of dead sea creatures trapped in the [[sediment]] at the bottom of the sea. ===About Crude Oil===: '''Crude oil''' is known as a [[Fossil Fuel]].: '''Crude Oiloil''' is a [[Non-renewable Energy Resource|non-renewable energy resource]] so once it is used it cannot be replaced within our lifetime.: Modern technology relies heavily on '''crude oil''' as both a [[fuel]] and a [[feedstock]] for producing [[Plastic (Material)|plastics]] .'''Crude oil''' can be used [[Separating Mixtures|separated]] by [[Fractional Distillation|fractional distillation]] into different 'fractions' which have different applications:*[[Natural Gas]]*[[Liquid Petroleum Gas]] ([[LPG]])*[[Petrol]] ([[Gasoline]])*[[Kerosine]]*[[Diesel]]*[[Lubricating Oil]]*[[Bitumen]] {| class="wikitable"|+ Crude Oil Fraction Applications|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |'''Fraction'''| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |'''Carbon Chain Length'''| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |'''Boiling Point (°C)'''| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |'''Application'''|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[Natural Gas]]| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |1-2| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |-160 to provide -89| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |[[Fuel]] for heating homes and gas [[Thermal Power Station|powerstation]]s.|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[LPG]] directly buy burning it in | style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |3-4| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |-42 to -1| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |[[Fuel]] for heating homes, and gas [[Thermal Power Station|power station]]s.|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[Petrol]] (Gasoline)| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |5-10| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |20 to 200| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |[[Fuel]] for cars and [[feedstock]] for [[Plastic (Material)|plastic]] manufacture.|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[Kerosine]]| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |10-16| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |180 to 260| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |[[Fuel]] for Planes.|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[Diesel]]| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |14-20| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |260 to 340| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |[[Fuel]] for cars, trucks and trains. planes and in furnaces or it can provide power by generating electricity|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[Lubricating Oil]]| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |20-50| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |370 to 600| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |[[Lubrication]] for machines.|-| style="height:20px; width:70px; text-align:center;" |[[Bitumen]]| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |70+| style="height:20px; width:85px; text-align:center;" |Not distilled.| style="height:20px; width:350px; text-align:center;" |Tar for roads.|}

: 1. Crude Oil is burned in a furnace.
: 2. Water is heated in a boiler by the burning oil.
: 3. Water turns to steam and passes down pipes to turn a turbine.
: 4. The turbine causes a generator to spin.
: 5. The generator makes an electrical current.
====Advantages====
*Can work continuously.
*Power supply can be varied depending on demand.
*Few power stations needed to supply a large number of houses.
