Gas turbine power plants are a type of power plant that uses a gas turbine to generate electricity. It uses a gas turbine to convert the heat energy of pressurized air into mechanical energy. As a result, the mechanical energy turns the blades of an alternator which generates electricity. In this article, we will discuss … Read more
Pulverized coal is used in modern thermal power plants. It is a powdered form of coal i.e., coal that is grounded into a dust-like size. The pulverized coal is then conveyed to the furnace by way of a stream of hot air. An important purpose of pulverization is to expose a large surface area to … Read more
A diesel power plant is a type of power plant that uses the heat generated by burning diesel fuel to generate electricity. It produces electricity by rotating alternators using a diesel engine. A diesel power plant uses a diesel engine as its prime mover. Diesel combustion generates rotational energy. Diesel engines are equipped with alternators … Read more
