 Explain the working of a thermal power plant

The working of thermal power plant is in the following steps-

1.Any fossil fuel is heated to produce heat energy.

2.The heat is used to boil water in the great tank.

3.Then the water vapours are transported to the blade of turbine by a thin pipe to increase the pressure and rotate the turbine fast enough to produce electricity.

4.Then by the transformers the electric energy is amplified and sent to houses for domestic uses as well as to different offices,factories etc.

5.Inthis way a thermal power plant works

A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. 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. The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due to the different fuel sources. Some prefer to use the term energy center because such facilities convert forms of heat energy into electricity[1]. Some thermal power plants also deliver heat energy for industrial purposes, for district heating, or for desalination of water as well as delivering electrical power. A large proportion of CO2 is produced by the worlds fossil fired thermal power plants; efforts to reduce these outputs are various and widespread.
