As a rule of thumb you would need about 138 Kg of coal (26GJ/Ton) to produce 1 ton of steam.

How much force is required to make coal into diamonds?
Diamonds are not made from coal. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle under enormous pressure and extreme heat, from carbon.
How do you generate electricty?
The primary means of producing electricity from heat involves heating water until it becomes steam, this steam is kept under pressure so that its volume remains the same while it continues to gain the energy from the heat. Once the steam has absorbed as much energy as we can give it, we allow it to expand into pipes, releasing the energy we put in as it does. That heat energy is transfered to rotational motion as the steam expands and pushes the blades of a turbine. The axle of the turbine is in turn connected to a generator which turns rotational motion into electricity. weather the heat is generated by nuclear reactions, coal, or whatever else you like is irrelevant.
What power was first used to generate electricity in 1890?
Simple answer, coal. We, as humans, have used coal since the bronze age for heat. In the 1800's when the industrial revolution started, coal was used to boil water. this water could drive a turbine, which is basically how we get our power today, things haven't changed too much in that respect.
How do they collect nuclear energy?
Depends what you want it to do for you. If you want to use it as a weapon, then you don't collect it; you just let it spread around far and wide and cause as much death and destruction as possible. If, on the other hand, you want to use it to generate electricity, you wrap the nuclear reactor in layers of pipes that carry water past it, and you let the nuclear energy heat the water. Then you use the steam or superheated water to run a steam-turbine generator, just as if it had been heated by a coal or oil fire, or by sunshine.
How do you calculate coal usage to produce 1 MW power?
First in order to calculate the heat content of a particular type of coal, an ultimate analysis must be done. Then the combustion efficiency of the coal must be calculated, the boiler efficiency is then determined by a boiler "acceptance test", or heat balance. The steam is then run through an engine driving a generator to determine the total plant efficiency thus determining how much coal is burned to produce a set amount of electricity. Several publications on Steam power plant operation explain these efficiency tests in more detail.

How much coal did the titanic burn?
The Titanic had 159 coal-burning furnaces fueling the boilers.
How many other coal plants would it take to replace nuclear plants?
Depends on the amount of electrical energy they (need to) generate. How much does the average nuclear plant generate ? How much does the average coal plant generate ?
How much water required to generate 1000kwh of electricity from coal?
it takes 800 gallons of water to make 1 megawatt-hour of electricity (1000 kWh).
Why did the number of coalfields increase during Victorian times?
In the Victorian Era, the majority of power was generated by steam, which was done by burning coal. The increased urbanization and Industrial Revolution created the need for much more power, and therefore more coal to generate it.
How much coal does it require to generate 1000 KWH of electricity?
It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.
How much coal is required for 1 mw power plant?
3.5 tonns of coal is required for producing 1 mw
How much diesel fuel needed to generate 1 ton of steam?
80 Kgs
Can burning fossil fuels generate electricity?
Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
