Question

what is mean by thermal power plant

Answer 1

Explanation:

Thermal power plant .

A power plant in which the heat required to make a steam to drive turbines ( to make electricity ) is obtained by burning fuels ( coil, oil and gas ) is called Thermal power plant.

$\bf \underline{ \implies Construction \: and \: working}$

→ Coal ( fuel oil and natural gas ) is burned in a furnace F to produce heat ( see attachment ). This heat boils the water in a boiler B to form steam. The steam formed from the boiling water build up a pressure. The hot steam at high pressure is introduced in a turbine Chambers C having a steam turbine T.The steam passes over the Blades of the turbine as a high pressure Jet making the turbine rotate. The shaft S of turbine is connected to a generator G. When the turbine rotates, its shaft also rotates and drive the generator. The generator produces electricity. The spent steam coming out of turbine chamber is cooled. On cooling, steam condenses to form water. This water is again sent to the boiler to form fresh steam. This process is repeated again and again.

Answer 2

$\huge{\pink{\red{\sf \boxed{Answer:-}}}}$

Thermal Power Plant

Fossil Fuels such as coal are burnt.

They are used to heat water to produce steam.

The steam from these moves turbines.

The movement of these turbines generate electricity.

This is called a Thermal Power Plant because the heat energy obtained from burning fossil fuels is used to generate electricity.

Thermal power plants are generally found near coal and oil fields.
