Question

what is thermal power plant ?

Answer 1

Thermal power station is a station in which heat energy is converted into electrical energy.

Answer 2

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.
