We can probably say the firebox of the boiler is where combustion takes place in a coal-fired power plant.

A coal pulverizer feeds the coal into the firebox (burner or combustion chamber) along with forced air. The air-coal mix is ignited in the hot environment, and the heat rises to the coils in the upper part of the boiler. In the bottom of the combustion area we find the ash or slag collector.

Is the internal combustion engine's fuel burns outside the engine in chambers called cylinders?

Internal combustion refers to an engine were the combustion process takes place inside the engine. The cylinders in question are an internal portion of the cylinder block which houses the crankshaft, connecting rods and the pistons which move up and down in the cylinder drawing in the air fuel mixture, are forced down by the combustion process, and push the spend fuel charge out of the cylinder at the end of the cycle. An example of an external combustion engine would be a steam engine where the combustion takes place in a boiler external to the engine and the steam generated by the boiler is used to motivate the engine.


What is a redundant system in a nuclear power plant?

A redundant system in a nuclear power plant is a backup system or component that is in place to ensure continued safety and functionality in case the primary system or component fails. Redundant systems are essential to maintaining the overall safety and reliability of a nuclear power plant.


What engine is an example of an internal combustion engine?

What are the top 20 uses of combustion in our day-to-day life?

- to run vehicles - to cook food - to light a candle or lamp - to light a matchstick - to destroy organic wastes at home - used in water heaters -that's all what i can think of now......


In which step of the four stroke engine cycle does the heat from the combustion reaction cause the pistons to move?

The heat from the combustion reaction causes the pistons to move during the power stroke in the four-stroke engine cycle. This is when the high-pressure gases from the combustion expand, pushing the piston downward.

What is fd fan in thermal power plant?

An FD fan, or Forced Draft fan, in a thermal power plant is used to supply the necessary air for combustion in the boiler. It ensures a consistent and controlled flow of air, which is crucial for maintaining optimal combustion efficiency and reducing emissions. By forcing air into the combustion chamber, the FD fan helps to achieve better fuel combustion and enhances overall plant performance.

What is the function Of recirculation in power plant?

The function of recirculation in a power plant is to improve efficiency by reusing some of the exhaust gases. By recirculating a portion of the flue gas back into the combustion chamber, it helps to reduce the amount of oxygen in the combustion air, which can lower the flame temperature and reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). This process also helps to stabilize combustion and improve emissions control.

What type of power plant burns material to make electricity?

A power plant that burns material to make electricity is called a thermal power plant, also known as a combustion power plant. These plants use fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil as the primary material for combustion to generate heat, produce steam, and drive turbines to generate electricity.
