2013-11-3·1. A steam power plant uses the Carnot cycle. The boiler puts 25 kW of heat into the cycle and produces wet steam at 300oC. The condenser produces wet steam at 50oC. Calculate the following. i. The efficiency of the plant. (43.6%) ii. The net power output. (10.9 kW) iii. The heat removed by the condenser. (14 kW) 2. A steam power plant is based
Learn MoreThermal Power Station process flowchart and diagram. The fuel is transported from mines via trains to the fuel storage facility in a power plant. The fuel transported to the plant is generally bigger in particle size and before it is fed to the boiler furnace it is broken down into smaller pieces using crushers.The fuel is then fed to the boiler generating a large amount of combustion heat.
Learn MoreThis general introductory course provides some basic engineering concepts needed to understand how a coal-fired power plant works, followed by a general overview of power plant layout and operating principles. All major systems in the power plant will be discussed, from coal handling to the switchyard.

Learn More2020-5-7·Thus, a thermal power station may sometimes called as a Steam Power Station. After the steam passes through the steam turbine, it is condensed in a condenser and again fed back into the boiler to become steam. This is known as ranking cycle. This article explains how electricity is generated in thermal power plants.
Learn MoreTypical Steam Cycle Thermodynamics. Figure 35 shows a simplified version of the major components of a typical steam plant cycle. This is a simplified version and does not contain the exact detail that may be found at most power plants. However, for the purpose of understanding the basic operation of a power cycle, further detail is not necessary.

Learn More2019-2-4·Steam Power Cycles Part I Ideal Rankine and Reheat Cycles We introduced the basic Steam Power Plant in Chapter 4b, however we could only evaluate the turbine and feedwater pump after we introduced the concept of entropy in Chapter 6a. In this Chapter we will consider ideal steam power cycles including isentropic turbines and pumps.
Learn More2020-5-1·Let us see the arrangement of a thermal power plant cycle in following figure, we will have an idea that there will be four components in a thermal power plant i.e. boiler, turbine, condenser and feed pump. T-S diagram is also displayed here for the thermal power plant cycle and this cycle is also termed as Rankine cycle.
Learn MoreCombined Cycle Power plant diagram . Combined cycle power plant diagram. A combined cycle gas turbine power plant is essentially an electrical power plant in which a gas turbine and a steam turbine are used in combination to achieve greater efficiency than would be possible independently. The gas turbine drives an electrical generator while the gas turbine exhaust is used to produce steam in a
Learn More2020-5-1·Combined Cycle Power Plants produce Electricity in two stages. First by using a Gas Turbine, then using the heat of the waste gas to produce steam and using it in a Steam Turbine. This article briefly explains the basic functioning of a Combined Cycle Power Plant.
