Study of working of each components of a steam power plant with description of flow diagram.
1. Experiment No: 03
Objective:
Study of working of each components of a steam power plant with description of flow
diagram.
Apparatus:
Steam power plant.
Theory:
Figure 3.1 (steam power plant)
1. Pump:
The pump is mechanical device which conveys liquid from one place
to another place.
2. Boiler:
A closed vessel made up of steel to transfer heat produced by
combustion of fuel to water and ultimately generate steam.
3. Turbine:
A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fast
moving floe of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid and converts it into
useful work.
4. Condenser:
Condenser is a device in which steam is condensed to water at a
pressure less than atmosphere.

Comments:
1. To learn about how to produce a power.
2. Very good experience in this procedure.
