Furnace used in thermal power plant How this furnace works in heating the boiler?

A Furnace works by heating the power plant with the fuel provided you idiot... how else do you think it works??


What is oil thermal power plant?

The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.


What is dearater in thermal power plant?

It removes the gases present in the steam,given by heaters.dearater is necessary otherwise the gases in steam will corrode the boiler and also affect the turbine.


Operation of a combined cycle power plant?

A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency. For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%. It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.


What kind of power plant is NAPOCOR?

NAPOCOR is not a power plant. It is a power company. It is the National Power Corporation of the Phillipines.

Which is worlds biggest nuclear power plant?

4x1000MW coal-fired ultra-supercritical power plant at Yuhuan in China is supposed to be the world's bidgest coal power plant. Plant is located on the coast of East China's Zhejiang Province. The last (4th) unit of plant began commercial operation in November 2007. The plant run at about 45% thermal efficiency. Yuhuan Units are supposed to be the most cleanest, most efficient and most advanced ultra super critical units of today's world." Vivek Asthana Panki Thermal Power Station, Kanpur


-if a generator in an oil-thermal power plant is 35 percent efficient and its output capacity is 3 000 MW what is the output power for the turbine generator system?

If the oil fired furnaces produce 3000 MW thermal, and the overall station efficiency is 35 percent, this means that the electrical power sent out is 1050 MWe. This assumes you do mean the overall station efficiency, ie that the power used for auxiliaries on the station is subtracted from the total electric power generated, before this figure is calculated.
