Why is the gas turbine called as the power plant?
A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
How does a thermal power plant work?
Thermal power plant uses heat source like burning coil, gas, wood or natural heat sources like solar heat or geysirs. Heat is transformed to vaporising water. When water turns into steam it has lot of energy(entalphy) in it. this energy is used in wanted application as turbine or central heating. Most of the energy is where the steam turns back to water. Thermal power plant usually has both electric turbine and distributional heating because of better use of energy. Electric power production pays more and some applications are made only for electric production.
What are reasons for over speed tripping of steam turbine genarator in a combined cycle power plant?
wHAT??
What is the maximum plant load factor a gas turbine gives when operating in open cycle?
Depends on what type of gas, plant size and cycle and carriage.
A solar-heated steam-electric generating plant heats steam to 250 C After passing through the turbine cooling towers cool the steam to 30 C?
The steam at 250Degc does it work and gets converted to mechanical energy by the turbine and to increase the efiiciency of the turbine the pressure is mentained below atmosphearic pressure at the exhust. It is not cost benificaial to handle (pump) this steam coming out of the exhust thus needs to be cooled to take it to liquide stage by cooling towers.
Whats the function of a turbine and dynamo in a steam plant?
they convert mechanical energy into electricity.
Process of operation on geothermal power plant?
The process of operation a geothermal power plant involves moving heat up to the plant, heating water, and turning a steam turbine. This produces a renewable and clean form of electricity.
Why is geothermal energy harmful?
Geothermal energy is not harmful. There are dangers in any power plant, of course, but the advantages of geothermal energy far outweigh the disadvantages. The advantages are that it is renewable and pollution free.
Who discovered geothermal energy?
The paleo-Indians of North America used geothermal energy 10,000 years ago to cook food. In the 18th century Italy used geothermal energy for industrial purposes, but the first geothermal power plant was put in in 1913.
What type of object is used to transfer thermal energy into electrical energy?
geothermal plant
Disadvantages of geothermal power plant?
A geothermal power plant has a very low carbon footprint. However these types of plants are not efficient at producing energy.
Can a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant makes energy?
Well, no. A turbine does not MAKE energy. It changes one form of energy to another. A Pelton turbine in a hydroelectric plant changes the weight and force of falling water to rotary mechanical energy, which is used to turn a generator. That changes mechanical energy to electrical energy. But none of that MAKES energy.
What is the purpose of a generator in a power plant?
To convert the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy
Where is geothermal energy found?
geothermal energy was found in italy. no specific person found it, though. it was a group of people who disovered it. it was found in the year of 1904.and we have been using it since then.there is a whole process in it. magma gets pulled through these drilling wells. and well then water gets through it and then the water gets turned into steam.and then the staem gets put into the turbine and then it generates the generator. and then generator therefor works the wires and it creates electricity.
Does thermal energy run on gasoline?
Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.
What is hydro power plant reservoir?
it is energy regeneration power plant in which water is used to generate power.water is moving on turbine and then turbine moves so energy stored in the resrvoir yhat is called as hydro power plant reservoir.
What is difference between a geothermal and thermal power plant?
The steam turbine blades to turn creates steam.The steam engine, steam piston Myllng after the turn brings.+++They are both steam-engines. The turbine is purely rotative; the reciprocating steam-engine uses cylinders and pistons.
