1. Use of Moderator in a Nuclear Power Plant:


A moderator slows down neutrons in a nuclear reactor, ensuring they are effectively captured
by the nuclear fuel, sustaining the chain reaction.

2. Function of Cooling Tower in a Steam Power Plant:


Cooling towers remove excess heat from the cooling water used in the condenser, ensuring
efficient operation.

3. Non-Conventional Energy Resources:


Examples include solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and biomass energy.
