Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler Working and Types: The coal available in India is of low quality, high ash content and low calorific value. The traditional grate fuel firing systems have got limitations and are techno-economically…
Velox Boiler - Construction, Working Principle and Advantages: Velox Boiler - When the gas velocity exceeds the sound velocity, the heat is transferred from the gas at much higher rates than rates achieved with sub-sonic…
Loeffler Boiler Construction and Working Principle: The major disadvantage in La Mont boiler is the deposition of salt and sediment on the inner surface of the water tubes. It reduces the heat transfer and ultimately…
Benson Boiler - Construction, Working Principle and Advantages: In 1927, Benson boiler was developed by Benson in West Germany. It was the first super critical drumless boiler. Construction: It is a high pressure, vertical, fire…
La Mont Boiler Construction and Working: This type of boiler was introduced by Lamont in 1925. The arrangement of La Mont Boiler Construction and Working is shown in the Fig. 1.30. It is a forced…
Super Critical Boiler - Definition, Advantages and types: Super critical boiler is a boiler that operates at super critical pressure (high pressure) to increase the efficiency of the plant and to reduce the cost of…
Site Selection of Steam Power Plant: The following consideration should be taken while site selection of steam power plant. 1. Availability of raw materials Huge quantity of coal and fuel are required to run a…
Layout of Modern Coal Power Plant or Steam Power Plant: In Coal Power Plant or Steam Power Plant, the water is converted into steam and the steam expanded in a turbine to produce kinetic energy…
Regenerative Cycle - Definition, Advantages and Methods: Regenerative Cycle - Assume 1 kg of steam is expanded in the turbine. Before complete amount of steam is expanded, some amount of steam (m kg) is extracted…
Reheat Cycle in Steam Power Plant: Reheat Cycle: If the dryness fraction of steam leaving the turbine is less than 0.88, then corrosion and erosion of turbine blades occur. To avoid this situation, reheat is…
