What is Cogeneration ?

What is Cogeneration ? Cogeneration Definition Cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP), is defined as a system that produces both electricity and heat from a single fuel source. High Efficiency Cogeneration plants are highly efficient, with efficiency rates of 80-90%, compared to the 35% effi

What is MHD Generation?

What is MHD Generation? MHD Generation Definition MHD power generation is a process that directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy, bypassing mechanical stages, making it highly efficient. Faraday’s Principle The principle of MHD generation relies on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic in

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

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
