Question

What is the difference between diesel and steam power plant

Answer 1

Answer:

hii

buddy here is the answer to your question

The advantages of diesel power plants are listed below:

1. Diesel power plant design is simple for installation.
2. The layout of the diesel power plant is quite simple.
3. The limited quantity of cooling water required.
4. Standby losses are very less as compared to other Power plants.
5. Low fuel cost for operation.

The steam-electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. ... The greatest variation in the design of steam-electric power plants is due to the different fuel sources

The working principle of the diesel power station is very simple; as we compress the air in a cylinder to raise the temperature, then we burn the diesel inside the engine and the combustion produces the working fluid at high_temperature and high_pressure to convert the heat energy into mechanical energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Steam turbines rotate in the currents caused by the hot water vapour. They form part of a closed water cycle in which water condenses and is then heated until it evaporates again. Steam turbines therefore do not come into contact with the fuel deployed and work at temperatures between 500 and 650 °C. Several steam turbines are often arranged in a row so that – configured for high, medium and low pressure – they are able to optimally convert the respective steam pressure into rotational movement.

Gas turbines on the other hand rotate directly in the hot combustion gases. With temperatures up to 1500 °C, these gases are much hotter than those in steam turbines. For this reason the blades are cooled with air that flows out of small openings and creates a “protective film” between the exhaust gases and the blades. Without cooling, the blade material would quickly wear out.
