What kind energy does a power plant have?
It depends on the type of power plant. Some of the most common is coal (which is used to make steam to create power) one of the least common in the us is nuclear power.
Why hydrazine is used in water and steam cycle of power plant?
It scavanges oxygen in water systems to prevent corrosion of piping.
What pipes used to carry steam in thermal power plants?
steam pipes.
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.
Advantages of steam power plant over diesel power plant?
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
What is used to carry steam and water in a power plant?
We see the wide use of pipe to carry steam and water in a power plant. Insulation is applied where necessary.
What is a steam generator used for in a fossil fuel power plant?
To convert the heat of combustion to steam which can be used in an engine.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
Why not super heated steam used in nuclear power plant?
Actually, superheated steam is used in nuclear power plants. It is part of the goal of extracting the most energy possible from the steam cycle.
What is work of gland steam cooler in steam power plant?
gland steam cooler is used to cool steam of gland sealing comes from turbine
Describe the role of steam in a nuclear power plant?
Steam in nuclear power plants is used to drive turbines for generation of kinetic energy.
How electricity is produced in a power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, the heat energy released from fission is used to change water into steam. the steam then turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
What is the reason of white smoke from chimney of power plant?
it is steam from water being used as a coolant for the plant.
What type of energy does power plant generate?
Electricity and steam. In some locations the steam is used to heat homes and businesses.
What are three types of geothermal energy?
Dry Steam Power Plant : generates power directly from the steam from inside the earth.Flash Steam Power Plant : Flash steam plants use waters at temperatures greater than 360F. As this hot water flows up, it is collected in a flash tank where drop in pressure causes the liquid to boil into steam. The steam is then used to run turbines which in turn generate power. The condensed steam is returned to the reservoir.Binary Steam Power Plant : This type of plant uses high temperature geothermal water to heat another liquid which has a lower boiling point than water.
