The boiler heats water into steam. The steam is pressurized and fed into a turbine which causes it to rotate. As the steam turbine rotates, the connected generator rotates and produces electricity. Make Sense???

∙ 11y agoWhat you are describing is probably an alternator driven by a steam turbine, which consists of a horizontal shaft supporting turbine blades, arranged radially, along its length -rather like a jet engine. Dry, superheated, steam (i.e. steam heated beyond 100 degrees Celsius) is admitted through an inlet at one end of the turbine and makes its way along the length of the turbine, where it is expelled through an outlet into a condenser, where the steam is condensed into water. The passage of the steam causes the turbine to rotate at high speed. The energy produced by the turbine is a function of the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the turbine. The steam turbine can be described as the 'prime mover' for the alternator.

What is BTG of power plant?
Its Boiler-Turbine-Generator
What would happen if a shunt-excited DC generator was operated at too low a speed?
A shunt generator is a type of DC generator that does not use a permanent magnet. Reducing the speed of the generator will reduce the output, but not the load the generator requires because the currents in the parallel branches are independent.
Define boiler and classification of boiler?
Boiler can be classified as below
What is afbc boiler?
Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler (AFBC boiler) is a type of operational boiler. In a AFBC boiler a little more fluidized bed combustor is added than a conventional shell boiler.
What is boiler?
boilers which are used in ships called as marine boliers.
What is BTG of power plant?

What is the purpose of boiler drum?
Purpose of the boiler drum is to collect steam from all the various tubes in a boiler, and send it to the turbine to spin the generator
Why boiler is operated close to critical temperature?
Greatest efficiency at that temperature.
What is the machine in a power station that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
for instance generator, crusher, boiler, coal
How can you use coal?
In a fire in the home, or in a boiler to run an electricity generator.
Does combined cycle power plant has a boiler?
No It has heat recovery steam generator
What is the area between the steam drum and the mud drum ona boiler?
Generator
Is steam reversible?
Yes. Steam is produced in a steam generator (boiler), used to power an engine (or turbine), condensed, and returned to the boiler as feedwater.
What is the difference between a steam boiler and steam generator?
boiler use many type of working fluids like water, Mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...
What is the difference between a hot water generator and steam boiler?
boiler use many type of working fluids like water, mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...

What does a train have that does the same job as an accelerator?
They have a throttle. In steam trains it is a variable valve to let steam from the boiler enter the cylinders to move the piston. The piston pushes a connecting rod that turns the wheel. Unlike cars, it is operated with your hands. In modern diesel trains the engine turns a generator to make electricity. The throttle is a lever that controls the electricy from the generator to the electric motors in the wheels.
