The amount of energy transferred from the steam is a function of the temperature difference between the input and output of the turbine. Also, superheating the steam ensures that there are no water molecules that can damage the turbine blades.

What is bleeding of steam in thermal power plant?

Bleeding of steam means Extracting steam from Turbines for heating the feed-water. Normally, there are High Pressure Heaters & Low Pressure heaters in Condensate cycle. Steam bleed out from the turbine gets into these heaters and heats up the feed-water (generally termed as Sensible Heat Addition). The steam that was bled can be re-used as condensate in Deaerators. Steam Extractions although reduce net work output but helps in overall gain in efficiency in terms of Reduced Fuel Consumption.


Why is not feasible to operate bulbs a low voltages although it amount to high efficiency?

Lamps (not 'bulbs' ; we plant bulbs!) will only produce their rated power at their rated voltage. These values are printed on the glass envelope. Reducing the voltage applied to a lamp will, therefore, reduce the power it produces. In fact, there's not a simple, linear, relationship between a lamp's voltage and its power, and this means that even small reductions in voltage will result in large reductions in power.Operating lamps, or any devices, come to than, at lower voltages really has nothing to do with efficiency. Certainly, operating a lamp below its rated voltage will most-certainly NOT result in high efficiency. Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output power to input power and has nothing to do with voltage.


What is the process of power generation in thermal Power plant?

In a thermal power plant, water is heated in a boiler to produce steam.This steam turns the shafts of a turbine.the thermal energy of the steam is converted into mechanical energy at the turbine.The turbine is coupled with an alternator.In the alternator, the mechanical energy of the turbine is converted into electrical energy.

What is the efficiency of steam power plant?

The efficiency of a steam power plant is typically around 30-40%. This means that only 30-40% of the thermal energy from the fuel is converted into electrical energy, with the rest being lost as waste heat. Factors such as the type of plant, operating conditions, and technology used can affect the efficiency.


What is the function of a superheater?

It is used to convert saturated or wet steam into dry steam for use in steam turbines, which are used for marine propulsion and the generation of electricity. +++ Also used for steam feeding reciprocating engines such as railway locomotives. It is not just a matter of dryness. Superheating allows the steam to work as a gas for longer during its passage through the turbine or cylinder, hence increasing the thermal efficiency of the whole plant.

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.


Why are we need to condense the steam in thermal power plant?

Condensing the steam in a thermal power plant allows for the reuse of the water, increasing the plant's efficiency and reducing water usage. It also helps prevent energy losses by converting the steam back into water, which can then be heated and turned back into steam to continue generating electricity.
