EXPERIMENT No. 1
TITLE :

TO STUDY THE STEAM TURBINE SYSTEM


In order to reduce rotor speed, varies method are employed. All these

keyed to common shaft and steam pressure or jet volume observed in stages as it
flows over rotor blade. This is known as compounding.
Following are three methods commonly employed for reducing motor
speed.
1) Velocity
2) Pressure
3) Pressure and velocity
a) VELOCITY COMPOUNDING:
In velocity compounding impulse turbine expansion of steam take place in
a nozzle or a set of nozzle from boiler pressure to condenser pressure the impulse
wheel carries 2-3 row of moving blade.
The steam after expanding through nozzle enter 1st ring of moving blade at
high velocity. A portion of this high velocity is observed by blading and
remaining by passed automatically next ring of fixed blade. The curved of
velocity and pressure on a base next ring of fixed blade.
The curved of velocity and pressure on a base reciprocating of turbine are
shown in fig. IT may be noted that no. of pressure drop occur either in moving or
fixed blade. All pressure drops occur in nozzle. This turbine for same pressure
drop and diagram of wheel.
b) PRESSURE COMPOUNDING

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

In this compounding of impulse turbine rings of moving blade fixed


nozzle are keyed to turbine but it is divided equally arranged all nozzle. Steam boiler
is passed through nozzle ring where only small pressure drop occur within increase
in velocity steam how directed on 1 st moving blade ring where pressure of steam
does not over but velocity decrease. This contribute one stage consist of a fixed ring.
Steam from 1st nozzle ring enters second nozzle ring where its pressure is further
reduced. A little consideration will show that pressure drop per stage in nozzle ring
is not same but the no. of heat unit covered into velocity energy in each stage is
same. The pressure is repeated into remaining ring unit condenser pressure is
repeated.
C) PRESSURE VELOCITY COMPOUNDING:
The pressure velocity compounding of impulse turbine both the previous two
method are utilized. Total pressure drop of steam is divided into two stages and
velocity obtained two stages also compounded. A little consideration will show that
pressure velocity compound impulse turbine allows higher pressure. Hence less
stage is required.
The curve for pressure and velocity of this turbine in fig. It may be noted that
diameter of turbine is increased and each stage of low pressure. A ring of nozzle is
fixed at commencement of each stage. A cartio turbine is an example P.V.
compounding.
GOVERNERING OF STEAM TURBINE:
Through there are many method of governing of steam turbine throttle
governing is important.
a) THROTTLE GOVERING:
It is a method of controlling turbine o/p by varying quality if steam entering
into turbine. This method is also known as servomotor method.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

The centrifugal governor is driven from main shaft of turbine by turbine belt
or gear arrangement. The control valve control direction of flow of oil enter in pipe
AA or BB servomotor or relay valve has a piston where motor is connected to needle
which move inside the nozzle. The central vertical bar Centrifugal governor caring
down of fly balls wheel also bring down the sleeve. This increase in area of
flow wheel increase of flow system turbine. As a result of turbine wheel comes to its
normal stage flywheel move up now sleeve as well as control valve rod will occupy.
It normal and turbine wheel run at this normal speed.
IT may be noted that when load on turbine decreases it will increases in it
speed as a result. IF this fly ball will go up and sleeve also go up. This will push
control valve rod downward which result in opening mouth of B.B. This under
pressure is more piston of spear to works right which will occupy its normal position
of turbine will run at its normal speed. These are several factor which at the
performance of steam turbine. These entire factors which reduce o/p of turbine are
also known as internal losses.
NOZZLE GOVERNING:
The efficiency of steam turbine is considerably reduced if
throttle governing is carried out at Low loads. An alternative, and
more efficient form of governing is by means of nozzle control. In
this method of governing, the nozzles are grouped together 3 to 5
or more group and supply of steam to each group is controlled by
regulating valves. Under full load conditions the valves conditions
the valves remain fully open.
When load on the turbine becomes more or less than the
design value, the supply of steam to a group of nozzles may be
varied accordingly so as to restore the original speed.
Nozzles control can only be applied to the first stage of a
turbine. It is suitable for simple impulse and larger units which
Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

have an impulse stage followed by an impulse turbine. In pressure


compounded impulse, there will be some drop in pressure at the
entry to second stage when some of the first stage nozzles are cut
out.

BY-PASS GOVERNING:
The steam turbines are designed to work at economic load it
is desirable to have full admission of steam in the high pressure
stages. At the maximum load, which is greater than the economic
load, the additional steam required could not pass through the first
stage since additional nozzle are not available. By-pass regulation
allows for this in a turbine which is throttle governed, by means of
second by-pass valve in the first stage nozzle. Steam is by-pass
through the second valve to a lower stage in the turbine. When bypass operates it is under the control of the turbine governor. The
secondary and tertiary supplies of the steam in the lower stage
increase the work output in these stages, but there is loss
efficiency and a curving of the Willians line.
In reaction turbines, because of the pressure drop required in
the moving blades, nozzles control governing is not possible, and
throttle governing plus by-pass governing, is used.
NOZZLE LOSSES:
IT is important loss in impulse turbine which occurred when steam flow
through nozzle. These losses take places due to friction of S/F of blades. Friction
relatively velocity of system is reduced while gliding over the blades.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

MECHANICAL LOSSES:
It is the important loss in both turbine which occur due to friction between
shaft and wheel bearing also regarding the valve. This can be reduced by lubrication
pumps.
WHEEL FRICTION LOSSES:
It can important losses in both turbine which occurs when turbine wheel rotate
in steam. This loss takes places due to resistance offered by steam. Moving turbine
blades wheel.
RESIDUAL VELOCITY LOSSES:
It is a loss on both turbines which occur due to C.E. of system as it leaves
turbine wheel. It can be reduced by using multistage wheel.
MOISTURE LOSSES:
It is the loss in both turbines which take place due to moisture pressure in the
steam. The velocity of water partial is less that in steam.
RADIATION LOSSES:
It is the loss in both the turbine which takes place due to difference in
temperature between turbine and atmosphere.
Discovery of the beneficial effect of lubrication must have forwarded crossed
upon most primitive control it is would have been quickly recognized.

INTRODUCTION:
The working principle of gas turbine is improving version of wind
mill. In order to achieve an efficient working of turbine movement of gas properly
controlled is defected on blade fixed in turbine runner. The air wind pressure is
supplied by an air compressor which runs by turbine itself.
In this turbine compressed air from atmosphere. Is passed to
combustion chamber where it is heated. This air when forced over moving blade
imparts rotational motion at runner. Hence air supplied is expanded and finally to
atmosphere. The power developed by turbine to mainly use for driving compressor
and remaining for doing external work.

CLOSED CYCLE GAS TURBINE:


It consists of compressor, heating chamber gas turbine which

drives generator and compressor and cooling chamber. The air compressor
isentropically pressed into the heating chamber compressed air is heated using
external source and forced over turbine blade where it get expanded. Then in cooling
chamber it is cooled at constant pressure with circulating water to original

temperature and air again forced to compressor. It cools on Joules and Brayton cycle
as shown in fig.
Operation 1-2: The air is compressed isentropically from the lower pressure p 1 to
the upper pressure p2, the temperature rising from T1 to T2, No heat
flow occurs.
Operation 2-3: Heat flow into the system increasing the volume from V 2 to V3. and
temperature from T2 to T3 whilest the pressure remains constant at p2
Heat received = mcp (T3 - T2)
Operation 3-4: The air is expanded isentropically from p 2 to p1 , the temperature
falling from T3 to T4 . No heat flow occurs.
Operation 4-1: Heat is rejected from the system as the volume decreases from V 4 to
V1 and the temperature from T4 to T1 whilst the pressure remains
constant at p1
Heat rejected = mcp (T4 T1)
b)

OPEN CYCLE GAS TURBINE:


The fundamental gas turbine unit is one operating on theb open cycle

in which a rotary compressor and a turbine are mounted on a common shaft. Air is
drawn into the compressor and after compression passes to a combustion chamber.
Energy is supplied in the combustion chamber by spraying fuel into the air stream,
and the resulting hot gases expand through the turbine to the atmosphere. In order to
achieve the net work output from the unit, the turbine must develop more gross work
output than is required to drive the compressor and to overcome mechanical losses
in the drive. The products of combustion coming out from the turbine are exhausted
to the atmosphere as they cannot be used any more. The working fluids (air and fuel)
must be replaced continuously as they are exhausted into the atmosphere.
If pressure loss in the combustion chamber is neglected, this cycle may
be drawn on a T-s diagram as shown

GAS TURBINE WITH INTERCOOLING:


Major part of power is developed by gas turbine is utilized by
compressing air in two stages within intercoolers between them and compredded or
efficiency of gas turbine. First air is compressed in lower pressure compressor as a
result pressure and temperature of air is increased. Now air passes over the
intercoolers then compressed air is again compressed in high pressure compressor.
Then this air is passed through heating chamber and then through turbine. Finally air
cooled in cooling chamber and pass to low pressure compressor. The process consist
of
1-2 constant Pressure Heating of air
2-3 isentropic expansion of air in turbine
3-4 cooling at constant pressure in cooling chamber
4-5 compression in low pressure chamber

GAS TURBINE WITH REHEATING:


The output of gas turbine is improved by expanding hot air in two
stages with reheater. The air is first compressed into first turbine. After cooling
stage chamber it is again passed to compressor. The process consist of
1-2 heating of air in 1st heating chamber
2-3 isentropic expansion in 1st turbine
3-4 heating of air in heating chamber
4-5 isentropic expansion in 2nd turbine
5-6 Constant pressure cooling in intercooler
6-1 Compression of air in compressor
Neglecting mechanical losses the work output of the H.P. turbine must be exactly
equal to the work input required for the compressor
Cpa (T2 T1) = Cpg (T3 T4)
Work output with reheating

= Cpg (T5 T6)

Work output without reheating = Cpg (T4 TL)


Heat supplied

= Cpg (T3 T2) + Cpg (T5 T4)

REGENERATION:
The exhaust gases from a gas turbine carry a large quantity of
heat with them since their temperature is far above the ambient
temperature. They can be used to heat the air coming from the
compressor thereby reducing the mass of fuel supplied to the
combustion chamber. The corresponding T-s diagram as shown in
fig. 2-3 represents the heat flow into the compressed air during its
passage through the heat exchanger and 3-4 represents the heat

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

taken in the from the combustion of fuel. Point 6 represents the


temperature of hot gases at discharge from the heat exchanger.
The maximum temperature to which the air could be heatedin the
heat exchanger is ideally that of exhaust gases, but less than this
is

obtained in practice because a temperature gradients must exist


for an unassisted transfer of energy.
USES OF GAS TURBINE:
1. For generation of electric power.
2. It is used to drive air compressor in turbo projects they are used to drive air
compressor and turbine in turbo propeller engine.
3. They are used to drive supercharging fitted agitation and gasoline engine.
4. They are having extensive use in the field of railway engine.
5. Gas turbines are also used in machine engine. They does not require B water
storage tank.
LOCATION:
In India there are few gas turbine power plants working such as in Assam
State. It has power capacity of 70 MW and gas turbine having capacity of 240 MW.

TO STUDY VARIOUS JET PROPULSION DEVICES

INTRODUCTION
The principal of Jet Propulsion involves imparting momentum to a
mass of fluid in such a manner that the reaction of imparted momentum provides a
propulsive force. It may be achieved by expanding the gas, which is at high
temperature and pressure, through a nozzle due to which a high velocity jet of hot
gases is produced (in the atmosphere) that gives a propulsive force. For jet
propulsion the open cycle gas turbine is most suitable.
The propulsion system may be classified as follows:
1. Air stream jet engines (Air breathing engines)
a. Steady Combustion Systems; Continuous Air Flow
1. Turbo Jet
2. Turbo Prop
3. Ram-Jet
b. intermittent Combustion System ; intermittent Flow
1. Pulse Jet or Flying Bomb
2. Self Contained Rocket Engines (Non-air Breathing Engines)
1. Liquid Propellent
2. Solid Propellent
In air stream jet engines the oxygen necessary for the combustion
is taken from the surrounding atmosphere whereas in a rocket engine the fuel and the
oxidizer are contained in the body of the unit which is to be propelled.
TURBO JET:
It consists of diffuser at the entrance which shows down the air (entering at
velocity equal to plant speed) and the part of K.E. of the air stream is

converted into pressure; this type of compression is called as ram


compression.
The air is further compressed to a pressure of 3 to 4 bar in a rotary
compressor (usually of axial flow type)
The compressed air is then enters the combustion chamber (C.C.) where
fuel is added. The combustion of fuel takes place at sensible constant
pressure and subsequently temperature rises rapidly.
The hot gases then enter the gas turbine where partial expansion takes
place. The power produced is just sufficient to drive the compressor, fuel
pump and other auxiliaries.
The exhaust gases from the gas turbine which atr at a higher pressure than
atmosphere are expended in a nozzle and a very high velocity jet is
produced which provides a forward motion to the air-craft by the jet
reaction
At the higher speeds the turbo-jet gives higher propulsion efficiency.
The turbo-jets are most suited to the air craft traveling above 800 km /hr
The overall efficiency of a turbo-jet is the product of the thermal
efficiency of the gas turbine plant and the propulsive efficiency of the jet.
ADVANTAGE OF TURBO-JET ENGINES:1. Construction much simpler
2. Engine vibration absent.
3. Much higher speeds possible (more than 3000 km/h acieved)
4. Power supply is uninterrupted and smooth.
5. Weight to power ratios superior.
6. Rate of climb higher.
7. Requirement interference much less.
8. Radio interference much less.

9. Maximum altitude ceiling as compared to turbo-prop and conventional piston


type engines.
10. Frontal area smaller.
11. Fuel can be burnt over a large of mixture strength.

DISADVANTAGE OF TURBO-JET ENGINES:1. Less efficient.


2. Life of the unit comparatively shorter.
3. The turbo-jet becomes rapidely inefficient below 550 km/h.
4. More noisy.
5. Materials required are quite expensive.
6. Require longer strip since length of take-off is too much.
7. At take-off the thrust is low, this effect is overcome by boosting.
TURBO-PROP:
In turbo-prop the expansion of gases takes place partly in turbine (80 %) and
partly (20 %) in the nozzle. The power developed in the turbine is consumed in
running the compressor aand the propeller. The propeller and jet produced by the
nozzle gives the forward motion to the aircraft.
The turbo-prop entails the advantages of turbo-jet(i.e., low specific weight and
simplicity in design) and propeller (i.e., high power for take-off and high propulsion
efficiency at speeds below 600 km/h). The overall efficiency of the turbo-prop is
improved by providing the diffuser before the compressor as shown. The pressure
rise takes place in the diffuser. This pressure rise takes place due to conversion of

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

kinetic energy of the incoming air (equal to aircraft velocity) into pressure energy by
the diffuser. This type of compression is known as ram effect .

RAM-JET:
Ram-jet is also called athodyd, Lorin tube or flying stovepipe. Ram jet
engines have the capability to fly at supersonic speeds.
The ram jet engine consists of a diffuser (used for compression),
combustion chamber, and nozzle.
The air enters the ram jet plant with supersonic speed and is slowed
down to sonic velocity in the supersonic diffuser, consequently the pressure
suddenly increases in the supersonic diffuser to the formation of shock wave. The
pressure of the air is further increased in the subsonic diffuser increasing the
temperature of the air above the ignition temperature.
In the combustion chamber, the fuel is injected through injection
nozzles. The fuel air mixture is then ignited by means of a spark plug and
combustion temperatures of the order of 2000 k are attained. The expansion of gases
towards the diffuser entrance is restricted by pressure barrier at the after end of the
diffuser and as a result the hot gases are constrained to move towards the nozzle and
undergo expansion; the pressure energy is converted into the kinetic energy. The
high velocity gases leaving the nozzle provide forward thrust to the unit.
The best performance of ram jet engine is obtained at flight speed of
1700 km/h to 2000 km/h.
ADVANTAGE OF TURBO-JET ENGINES:The ram-jet engine possesses the following advantage over other types of jet engine
1. No moving parts.
2. Light in weight.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

3. Wide variety of fuels may be used.

SHORTCOMINGS/ LIMITATIONS:
1. It cannot be started of its own. It has to be accelerated to a certain flight
velocity by some launching device. A ram-jet is always equipped with a small
turbo-jet which starts the ram jet.
2. The fuel consumption is too large at low and moderate speeds.
3. For successful operation, the diffuser needs to be designed carefully so that
kinetic energy associated with high entrance velocities is efficiently converted
into pressure.
4. To obtain steady combustion. Certain elaborate devices in form of flame
holders or pilot flame are required.
PULSE-JET ENGINE:
A pulse-jet engine is an intermittent combustion engine and it operates
on a cycle similar to a reciprocating engine, whereas the turbo-jet and ram-jet
engines are continuous in operation and are based on Brayton cycle. A pulse-jet
engine like an athoyd, develops thrust by a high velocity of jet of exhaust gases
without the aid of compressor or turbine. Its development is primarily due to the
inability of the ram-jet to be self starting.
The incoming air is compressed by ram affecting the diffuser section
and the grid passages which are opened and closed by V-shaped non-return valves.
The fuel is then injected into the combustion chamber by fuel injectors
(worked from the air pressure from the compressed air bottles). The combustion is
then initiated by a spark plug (once the engine is operating normally, the spark is

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

turned off and the residual flame in the combustion chamber is used for
combustion).
As a result of combustion (of mixture of air and fuel) the temperature
and pressure of combustion products increases. Because the combustion pressure is
higher than the ram pressure, the non-return valves get closed and consequently the
hot gases flows out of the tail pipe with a high velocity and in doing so give a
forward thrust to the unit.

With the escape of gases to the atmosphere, the static pressure in the
chamber falls and the high pressure air in the diffuser force the valves to open and
fresh air is admitted for combustion during a new cycle.
ADVANTAGE:
1. Simple in construction and very inexpensive as compared to turbo-jet engine.
Well adapted to pilotless aircraft.
2. Capable of producing static thrust and thrust in excess of drag at much low
speeds.
SHORTCOMINGS:
1. High intensity of noise
2. Severe vibrations
3. High rate of fuel consumption and low thermodynamics efficiency.
4. Intermittent combustion as compared to continuous combustion in a turbo-jet
engine.
5. The operating altitude is limited by air density consideration.
6. Serious limitation to mechanical valve arrangement

ROCKET ENGINES:
Similar to jet propulsion, the thrust required for rocket propulsion is
produced by the high velocity jet of gases passing through the nozzle. But the main
difference is that in case of jet propulsion the oxygen required for combustion is
taken from the atmosphere and fuel is stored whereas for rocket engine, the fuel and
oxidizer both are contained in a propelling body and as such it can function in
Vaccum.

1. According to the type of peopellents:


i.

Solid propellent rocket.

ii.

Liquid propellent rocket.

2. According to the number of motors :


i.

Single stage rocket (consists of one rocket motor)

ii.

Multi-stage rocket (consist of more than one rocket motor)

It consist of fuel tank FT, an oxidizer tank O, two pumps P1, P2 , a steam
turbine ST and a combustion chamber C.C. . The fuel tank contains alcohol and
oxidizer tank contains liquid oxygen. The fuel and the oxidizer are supplied by the
pumps to the combustion chamber where the fuel is ignited by electrical means. The
pumps are driven with the help of a stream turbine. Here the stream is produced by
mixing a very concentrated hydrogen peroxide with potassium permanganate. The
products of combustion are discharged from the combustion chamber through the
nozzle N. So the rocket moves in the opposite direction. In some modified form, this
type of rocket may be used in missile
REQUIREMENT OF AN IDEAL ROCKET PROPELLNENT:
An ideal rocket propellent should have the following characteristics/ properties ;
1. High heat value.

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

The velocity of blade being directly proportional to radial & tangential


component being inversely .proportional to radius .The blade angle vary with
radius consequently the blade vary & become flatter then that of the hub .As in
core of Pelton wheel the relative velocity of flow in Kaplan turbine is high &
changes slightly measuring the blades are relatively flat & are designed with
very little chamber so that cavitations is add.
CAVITATIONS IN KAPLAN TURBINE :Since there is direct relation between pressure & velocity. As velocity
increase pressure decrease when pressure reaches to vapour press. The water

press begin to full to tends the formation of vapour bubble .These vapour bubble
combed into the region of sufficient pressure .To cause condensation & hence the
surrounding liquid reaches to fill the hole causing impulsion on the walls. The
entire phenomenon refers as cavitations .Cavitations is harmful because it needs
to produce.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

INTRODUCTION:A turbine is a machine which converts the fluid energy into


mechanical energy which is then utilized to run the electric generator of a
power plant. Fluid used can be water or steam. The Pelton wheel is a
tangential flow impulse turbine. The water strikes the bucket along the
tangent of the runner. The energy available at the inlet of the turbine is only
kinetic energy. The pressure at the inlet and outlet of the turbine is
atmosphere, The turbine is used for high head.
THEORY :Pelton turbine is a impulse turbine. In an impulse turbine, all the
available energy of water is converted into kinetic energy or velocity
head by passing it through a contracting nozzle provided at the end of the
penstock. The water coming out of the nozzle is formed into a free jet, which
strikes on a series of buckets of the runner thus causing it to revolve. The
runner revolves freely in air. The water is contact with only a part of the
runner at a time, and throughout its action on the runner.
DESCRIPTION:The set up consists of centrifugal pump, turbine unit, and sump tank,
arranged in such a way that the whole unit works as re-circulating water
system. The centrifugal pump supplies the water from sump tank to the
turbine. The loading of the turbine is achieved by rope brake drum
connected with weight balance. The turbine unit can be visualize by a large
circular transparent window kept at the front. A bearing pedestals rotor
assembly of shaft, runner and brake drum, all mounted on suitable cast iron
base plate.

EXPERIMENT No. 8
TITLE:

STUDY OF STEAM TURBINE POWER PLANT

INTRODUCTION:
The steam power plant converts the chemical energy of fossil fules
(coal, oil,

gas) into mechanical energy / electrical energy. This is achived by

raising the steam in the boiler expanding the through the turbine and coupling the
turbine to the generator which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
The steam turbine is a prime mover in which the potential energy of the
steam is transfer to kinetic energy and later in its turn is transferred into the
mechanical energy of rotation of the turbine shaft. The turbine is directly or with the
help of reduction gearing is connection with the driven mechanism a steam turbine
may be utilized in most diverse field of industry for power generation and for
transportation. Transportation of the potential energy of steam into mechanical
energy of the rotation of the shaft is brought about by different means.

WORKING:
The steam turbine plant consists of a water pump to continuous supply
of water into the boiler. The water is pumped by pump into a low pressure heater
after passing it through the heat of waste product of combustion so that water get
slightly heated and then this water is made to pass through the H.P. heater and then
be economiser.
The arrangement is usually taken up in order to heat the water before it
enter the boiler so that in boiler the water will be soon converted into steam and in
Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

combustion chamber less fuel will be required resulting in increase efficiency of


plant.
The water enters the boiler and is heated by burning the fuel in
combustion chamber. Water get heated and converted into steam. This high

temperature. Steam i.e. Supper heated steam is expanded in a steam turbine. The
shaft of turbine is directly coupled to compressor and generator.
As the steam passes through the turbine the pressure gauge increasing
and the steam get expanded. As the steam flows or passes through the steam turbine
the steam turbine rotates and since it is coupled to the generator.
WATER SUPPLY:
The power plant has separate water treatment unit. The water is
supplied from river TAPI water is mainly used for
1. Steam Generation in boiler
2. FOR condensing the steam in steam condenser
It is also used for winding coolers of generates and consumption is 400-465 tons.
MAIN CONCEPT OF POWER PLANT:
Each unit of power plant consists of following plant auxiliary.
a) Coal Handling Plant (C.H.P):
The main function of this plant is to feed coal in turbine of coal milk
when rail round wagons shifted at side. Then there are unloaded with the help of

wagons triples further the big lumps of coal are crush per required size and then it
is fed into bankers into conveyors belts.
b)

Coal Mills:

Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal

There are size six coal mills for each boiler of capacity 33 tons coal
from banker is fed to the coal mills through the coal feeders which control the mills
in every minute.
c)

Generators :
It is a device which converts mechanical power into electrical power.

The generator produces electrically of 15.75 kw in 210 M plant and 13.8 KW in 62.5
MW plant with stand frequency 50 HZ. The generator is center make.

d)

Condenser:
Exhaust steam from the turbine at low pressure is entered into the

condenser where it is condensed into water and is supplied back to increase the
efficiency of the system. The condenser used is of surface type.
e)

Cooling Tower:
It is used ot the coal the water which is usual in the condenser to

condensed the exhaust steam from the turbine. As the condenser always required coil
water and due to limitation of natural resources. We have to reverse the water again
and again the hot cooling water is cooled by cooling tower.
f)

Boiler:
It is the heart of the plant contains water tube furnace and duel nozzle and

ignitors. This power plant is tangentially fixed balance draught. There are 100 tubes
which carries water through boiler has refractory lining.
1.

Furnace: It is rectangular chamber surrounded by a


water tube and get heated and burner water flowing through tubes around
furnace and get heated and forms steam.

2.

Super heater: The steam so generated is at 350 0 C is


further superheated to 5400 C by using exhaust flue gases.

3.

Reheated: In this comparatively cooler steam from H.P.


turbine is heated back to 5400 C and fed to the L.P. tribune.

4.

Blowers: Purpose of using root blower is to clean F/C


valve of superheated and economizer surface which is left uncleaned
would effect the efficiency of the plant.

5.

Preheated: In this steam is cooler from H.P. turbine and


is heated back to 5400 C and fed to L.P. turbine.
Turbine: Steam at a temperature of 5400 C and pressure

6.

at about 140 Kg/Cm2 is left from boiler is passed to H.P. cylinder and is
again passed to boiler for superheating.

ADMINISTATION OF POWER PLANT:


Belonging technical section there are various department like CHP,
Boiler turbine, Generators etc. There are well qualified and efficient persons for
production. of first unit 210 MW it requires 0.8 kg of coal which forms 0.32 kg of
ash. Thus order guidance of engineers of power plant and professors we have
conducted our visit
ADVANTAGE OF STEAM TURBINE OVER STEAM ENGINE:
1. The thermal efficiency of a steam turbine is much higher than that of a
steam engine
2.

The power generation in the steam turbine is at a uniform rate therefore


necessary to use a flywheel (as in case of steam engine) is not felt.

3.

Much higher speed and greater range of speed is possible than in case of
steam engine.

4.

In large thermal section, where as need higher outputs the steam turbine
power very suitable as these can be made in big size.

5.

With the absences of reciprocating parts (as in steam engine) the


balancing problem is minimized.

6.

No internal lubrication is required as there are no rubbing parts in steam


turbine.
Department of Mechanical Engineering

S.S.G.B.C.O.E. & T., Bhusawal


7.

In a steam turbine there is no loss due to initial condensation of steam.

8.

It can utilize high vacuum very advantageously.

9.

Considerable overload can be carried at the expense of


slightly reduction in overall efficiency.
