As we have earlier seen the function and working of the boiler. In the boiler combustion takes place and coal’s chemical energy is converted into the heat energy. That heat energy is utilised to heat the water and the water is converted into steam which drive the turbine and ultimately energy is generated. In this […]

In any thermal power plant, there are mainly three cycles i.e. Steam Cycle, Condensate cycle and Feed water cycle. We have already discussed the steam cycle in thermal power plant and now we will discuss about the Condensate cycle & Feed-water cycle. These two cycles are very important in efficiency point of view. As we […]

In order to generate electricity, we require mechanical torque and for the mechanical torque we require a fluid which will rotate the turbine, in thermal power plants to rotate the turbine we use steam as a medium. Steam is generated in boiler with the help of coal and water and after burning the coal, the […]
