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 else can I help you with?
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.
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 kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
A coal burning power plant uses thermal energy from burning coal to create steam. The steam then powers a turbine which generates electricity through a generator.
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).
How does a nuclear power plant power homes?
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions generate heat, which is used to produce steam. The steam drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. This electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use.
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 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.
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 does a hydroelectric power plant use to turn the turbines which are connected to the generators that make electricity?
The turbines or Pelton wheels in a hydroelectric power plant are turned by water pressure.
