Boiler Efficiency (Steam Power Plant)
Boiler Efficiency (Steam Power Plant) There are three types of electrical power stations namely: a) Hydro electricity b) Thermal Power Plant c) Nuclear Power Plant Hydro electricity is the generation of electricity based on the potential energy of the water in a dam driving or turning the water turbines. Thermal Power Plant or Steam Power Plant is the generation of electricity based on the rotation of a steam turbine by the steam that impinges on the blades on the turbine. The generation of electrical power in the nuclear power plant is based on energy that is derived or obtained from radioactive substances. The generation of power in b above is the main focus of Power Machines N5 and Power Machines N6. The steam that drives the steam turbines is generated from a storage component of the power plant referred to as the boiler. A boiler is a water storage device. The continuous addition of heat from the burning of fuels such as coal or gas...
