Rankine Cycle Efficiency Improvement Techniques

Steam power plants are still the backbone of the total power generation in the Asia pacific. Thus even a small improvement in the form of increasing the efficiency has a tremendous effect on the fuel-saving and also a reduction in emission of greenhouse gases. Thus one should not miss out on any opp

Rankine Cycle: What is it? (Ideal vs. Actual + T-s Diagram)

What is the Rankine Cycle? The Rankine Cycle is a mechanical cycle commonly used in power plants to convert the pressure energy of steam into mechanical energy through steam turbines. The Rankine Cycle’s major components include a rotating steam turbine, a boiler pump, a stationary condenser, and a

Carnot Cycle and Reversed Carnot Cycle

Carnot Cycle The Carnot cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that is known for the best possible efficiency. Carnot cycle changes the energy available in the form of heat to produce useful reversible-adiabatic (isotropic) and other processes. Carnot engine efficiency is one minus the ratio of the temperat

Artificial Draught

The expression of the pressure difference between inside and outside of a chimney shows that it has a term which is the height of the chimney. To achieve sufficient pressure difference between two points or to attain enough natural draught we have to increase the height of the chimney which is not a

Steam Jet Draught

The boiler produces steam. If we utilize, a small portion of the pressurized steam for producing draught in a boiler system then we call the draught as steam jet draught . As the steam, causes the draught, generated in the boiler itself, there will be no need for extra electric power to run draught

Types and Working of Cooling Tower

Purpose of a cooling tower is to reduce the temperature of circulating hot water to re-use this water again in the boiler . This hot water is coming from the condenser. How Cooling Tower Works? Hot water is coming at the inlet of the tower and pumped up to the header. The header contains nozzles and

Natural Draught and Chimney

Draught is the pressure difference which causes a flow of air or gases from one point to another point in the boiler system. Draught is required in a boiler system mainly due to two reasons. To supply sufficient air for completing the combustion. To remove flue gases from the system after combustion

What is a Natural Draft Cooling Tower?

A natural draft cooling tower is a type of heat exchanger that cools water by direct contact with air. It is used in power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and natural gas plants to remove excess heat from the circulating water system. A natural draft cooling tower relies on the princip
