Joule’s Dynamo – The Joule Heating Effect
Dynamo-Circa Early 19th Century In Joule’s Experiment With Electricity, the dynamo was powered by a steam engine, which enabled the dynamo’s shaft to spin. As it spun, the magnet located inside…
Boiler Feed Pumps Experience Cavitation
These are the massive centrifugal pumps that deliver pressurized water to the boiler. The water is transformed into steam to drive steam turbines and spin electrical generators, which ultimately results in electrical power. The noise…
Energy Going up in Smoke Through the Stack
They inevitably result in lost energy in a number of ways, the most obvious of which is probably the smokestack, where lost energy is seen literally going up in smoke through the stack. …
Basic of Power Plant automation system
Power plant Automation system is the complete solution of safe and efficient operation. In a power plant there are lots of complex system required to work and more complication is…
Turning gear or Electrically-driven turning device in engines
The turning gear is an electrically driven system to turn the engine flywheel manually in diesel engine. It consist of a motor, gear arrangement. When engaged the gear arrangement mounts…
Details of over speed & Pneumatic over speed trip device of diesel engine
The over speed of diesel and gas engine is very severe unlike that of turbine. In case of turbine if over speed occurs, alternator can be disconnect safely by an…
Coal Power Plant Efficiency
Is there any price a man dying of thirst in the desert would not pay for a tall glass of cold water? What is the point at which Americans…
Forms of Heat Energy – Latent
If you took high school chemistry, you learned that water is created when two gases, hydrogen and oxygen are combined. You may have even been lucky enough to have a…
Heat Energy Within the Power Plant—The Power Behind the Turbines
It’s dependent upon the amount of pressure exerted on its surface, which varies due to a variety of reasons, including where it is in relation to sea level. Before we…
Superheating
During the process of superheating the more heat energy that’s added to the steam in our boiler, the higher its temperature becomes. However, our boiler can only produce a limited…
