Electrostatic Precipitator: What is it And How Does it Work?

The flue gases produced due to the combustion of solid pulverized fuel in the furnace contain plenty of dust particles. When a chimney releases these flue gases in the atmosphere without filtering these dust particles, the atmosphere may get polluted. Hence, these dust particles need to be removed f

Electric Arc Furnace

Electric Arc Furnace means an extremely hot enclosed space, where heat is produced by means of electrical arcing for melting certain metals such as scrap steel without changing electro-chemical properties of the metal. Here, electric arc is produced between the electrodes. This electric arc is used

Coal Combustion Theory

Combustion is a rapid chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen. When combustible elements of fuel combine with O 2 , heat energy comes out. During combustion combustible elements like Carbon, Sulfur, Hydrogen etc combine with oxygen and produce respective oxides. The source of oxygen in fuel combus

Steam Boiler Furnace: Combustion Chamber & Boiler Grate

What is Combustion? Combustion is a chemical process during which oxygen is combined with different elements of fuel. During this combination, a definite amount of heat is produced per unit mass of combustible element depending upon the element with which the oxygen combines. The elements participat

Fluidized Bed Combustion | Types and Advantages

Fluidization is a method of mixing fuel and air in a specific proportion, for obtaining combustion. A fluidized bed may be defined as the bed of solid particles behaving as a fluid. It operates on the principal that when an evenly distributed air is passed upward through a finely divided bed of soli

Pulverized Fuel Firing of Boiler

The solid-fuel firing method is inefficient to take care properly the fluctuations of the load. There is a limitation in the combustion process. Solid-fuel firing method is not stable hence not suitable for large capacity thermal power plants. The flue gases contain a large quantity of ash, and for

Steam Calculator: How To Calculate Steam Consumption

What is Steam Consumption in a Pipe? Steam consumed and steam utilized at the point of application are not equal. Normally steam consumed or generated in a steam boiler is more than what is required for use at the point of application. The difference in steam consumption and steam utilization is due

Superheated Steam and Steam Phase Diagram

Superheated Steam When saturated steam generated in steam boiler is further passed through a heat transfer surfaces, then its temperature will starts increasing above evaporation or saturation. Steam is described as super heated, if its temperature is more than that of its saturation temperature. De

Steam Dryness Fraction

What is Dryness Fraction? Steam is said to be dry saturated when at that particular pressure its temperature is equal to the boiling point. It is difficult to produce dry saturated steam in practice and steam will often contains water droplets. So steam generated in the drum of the boiler is often w

Understanding Steam Flashing and Its Applications

Steam flashing is a phenomenon that occurs when pressurized condensate is exposed to a lower pressure, causing some of the water to vaporize into steam. This process can be used to recover energy from the condensate and utilize it for various purposes. In this article, we will explain what steam fla
