The steam exiting the low pressure end of the turbine has to be condensed back to water in order to be pumped back at high pressure to the inlet of the steam raising units. The cycle is called the Rankine cycle and is common to all steam type power plants whether fossil fired or nuclear.

What is the steam of a power plant use for?
To drive a steam turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator
What is the use of cooling tower in power plant?
first mention which power plant in steam pp out come of the steam is cooled after it again passes through into the turbine
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.
How are a fossil fuel burning power plant and a nuclear plant similar?
They both use steam turbine/generators
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.

What part of a nuclear power plant produces the electricity that can be used in a home?
The steam turbines (which use the steam produced by the hot nuclear pile).
What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
nothing
How do you use steam power on rail rush?
how do you use the steam power in rail rush
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 steam of plants?
A steam plant is any where from 33% to 48% efficient. With a steam plant you use steam to run an electirc generator. Water is heated creating steam. Which is sent through the steam turbine.
What is geothermal power plant?
All geothermal power plants use steam to turn large turbines, which run electrical generators. This steam comes from steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface. There are three types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle.
