Thermal power plants generate electricity by converting heat energy, often from burning fossil fuels, into mechanical energy using a heat engine to power an electric generator. The Rankine cycle is the most common thermodynamic cycle used in thermal power plants. It involves heating water to create steam to power a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity, before condensing the steam back into water to repeat the cycle. Key components include a boiler, turbine, condenser and pumps. Site selection factors for thermal power plants include availability of fuel, water, land area and transportation infrastructure.
Solar thermal power generation systems use mirrors to collect sunlight and produce steam by solar heat to drive turbines for generating power. This system generates power by rotating turbines like thermal and nuclear power plants, and therefore, is suitable for large-scale power generation.

ZAND is a village in the forests of the Panchmahals District of Gujarat.
There is a well-known, ancient Hanuman Temple at Zand.
It is believed that during their exile for twelve years after the Dyut Kreedaa (the dice game, which the Pandavas lost to the Kauravas), the Pandavas had stayed in these forests and that Shree Krishna had come to see them during their stay here.
We visited Zand on the 26th of January, 2008 – Republic Day.
The view of the Forest outside the car window was so beautiful that I could not resist the temptation to capture snaps of the passing hills, fields, villages, schools – celebrating the Republic Day, homes …. in my mobile camera.

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. INTRODUCTION
A Power Plant / Power Station is an industrial facility
for generation of Electric Power.
It is a set-up consisting of systems and sub-systems,
equipments and auxiliaries required for the
generation of Electricity, which involves conversion
of energy forms like chemical energy, heat energy or
gravitational potential energy into Electrical Energy.
2 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
3. ENERGY CONVERSION PROCESS IN
POWER PLANT
The energy content in a primary source of energy, like
Chemical Energy of a Fossil Fuel,
Potential Energy of water stored at a height,
Renewable / Non-conventional sources, like Solar
Thermal Energy, Wind energy, Geothermal Energy,
Tidal Energy,Wave Energy, etc.
is converted stage-wise to Mechanical Energy
(Rotational Energy) to obtain Electricity by creating
relative motion between a magnetic field and a
conductor.
3 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
4. THERMAL POWER PLANTS
In Thermal Power Plants, mechanical power is produced by a
Heat Engine that transforms Thermal Energy, often from
Combustion of a Fuel, into Rotational Energy.
Most Thermal Power Stations produce steam, and these are
sometimes called Steam Power Plants / Stations.
Not all thermal energy can be transformed into mechanical
power, according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Therefore, there is always heat lost to the environment.
If this loss is employed as useful heat, for industrial processes or
distinct heating, the power plant is referred to as a
Cogeneration Power plant or CHP (combined heat-and-power)
plant.
4 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
5. RANKINE
CYCLE
A Thermal Power Plant is a power
plant in which the prime mover is
steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam in
Boiler and spins a Steam Turbine
which either drives an Electrical
Generator or does some other work,
like Ship Propulsion.
After it passes through the turbine, the
steam is condensed in a Condenser
and recycled to where it was heated.
This is known as a Rankine cycle – as
shown in the figure.
5 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
A machine that transforms energy from thermal or pressure form
to mechanical form; typically an engine (A mechanical device
used to produce rotation to move vehicle or otherwise provide
the force needed to generate kinetic energy.) or turbine (any of
various rotary machines that use the kinetic energy of a
continuous stream of fluid - a liquid or a gas - to turn a shaft).
A device that converts mechanical
energy to electrical energy, generally
using electromagnetic induction.
6. MORE ABOUT RANKINE CYCLE
The Rankine cycle is a
thermodynamic cycle which
converts heat into work.
The heat is supplied externally to a
closed loop, which usually uses water
as the working fluid.
This cycle generates about 80% of all
electric power used throughout the
world, including virtually all solar
thermal, biomass, coal and nuclear
power plants.
It is named after William John
Macquorn Rankine, a Scottish
polymath.

7. Slide 6
G4 A polymath (Greek polymathēs, πολυμαθής, "having learned much") is a person whose expertise fills a significant number of subject areas. In
less formal terms, a polymath (or polymathic person) may simply refer to someone who is very knowledgeable.

8. WILLIAM RANKINE
The Rankine Cycle is named after William Rankine. Trained as a
civil engineer, William Rankine was appointed to the chair of
civil engineering and mechanics at Glasgow in 1855. He
developed methods to solve the force distribution in frame
structures.
He worked on heat, and attempted to derive Sadi Carnot's law from
his own hypothesis. His work was extended by Maxwell.
Rankine also wrote on fatigue in the metal of railway axles, on
Earth pressures in soil mechanics and the stability of walls. He
was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1853.
Among his most important works are Manual of Applied
Mechanics (1858), Manual of the Steam Engine and Other
Prime Movers (1859) and On the Thermodynamic Theory of
Waves of Finite Longitudinal Disturbance.
7 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
9. PROCESSES IN RANKINE CYCLE
There are Four processes in the Rankine cycle, each
changing the state of the working fluid.
Process 1-2: Working fluid is PUMPED from low to
high pressure, as the fluid is a liquid at this stage the
pump requires little input energy.
Process 2-3: The high pressure liquid enters a
BOILER where it is heated at constant pressure by
an external heat source to become a dry saturated
vapour (or wet vapour).
Process 3-4: The dry saturated vapour expands
through a TURBINE, generating power. Due to
decrease in temperature and pressure of the
vapour, and some condensation may occur.
Process 4-1: The wet vapour then enters a
CONDENSER where it is condensed at a constant
pressure and temperature to become a saturated
liquid. The pressure and temperature of the
condenser is fixed by the temperature of the
cooling coils as the fluid is undergoing a phase-
change.
8 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
11. RANKINE CYCLE : PRACTICAL CARNOT
CYCLE
The Rankine cycle is sometimes referred to as a
Practical Carnot cycle as, when an efficient turbine is
used, the TS diagram begins to resemble the Carnot
cycle.
The main difference is that a pump is used to
pressurize liquid instead of gas. This requires about
1/100th (1%) as much energy than that in compressing
a gas in a compressor (as in the Carnot cycle).

16. MAJOR CIRCUITS IN TPP :
Layout of Thermal power plant can be
divided in 4 circuits :
1. Coal and Ash Circuit
2. Air and Gas Circuit
3. Feed Water and Steam Circuit
4. Cooling Water Circuit
15 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
17. POINTS FOR SITE SELECTION OF
TPP
1. Availability of Fuel: 400MW power plant required 5000 to 6000
tons of coal per day
2. Ash Disposal Facilities: ash generated is 20 to 40 % of coal
used. Ash comes out is very hot and very corrosive in nature.
Also it is very hazardous to atmosphere and human health.
3. Nature of Land: Land must have sufficient bearing capacity to
withstand dead load of plant and vibrations of machines.
4. Availability of Water: 60 MW Power Plant required 20 to 30
thousand tons of cooling water and 500 to 600 tons of makeup
water per hr.
16 VANITA N THAKKAR BIT, VARNAMA
18. 5. Space Requirement: 3-5 acres land required per MW. Mostly
for coal storage and ash handling and another utilities.
6. Transport Facilities: Location should be near to river or sea to
get cheapest transportation of coal by ship or it should be
located near railway track for another cheaper option. Road
transport is costlier then other means.
7. Availability of Labor: Cheap labor should be available.
8. Public Problems: Power Plant should away from town or city
to avoid nuisance from fly ash, coal dust, smoke and heat
discharge from plant.
9. Size of the Plant
