INTRODUCTION
A Thermal Power Plant converts the heat energy of coal into
electrical energy. Coal is burnt in a boiler which converts water
into steam. The expansion of steam in turbine produces
mechanical power which drives the alternator coupled to the
turbine.Thermal Power Plants contribute maximum to the
generation of Power for any country . Thermal Power Plants
constitute 75.43% of the total installed captive and non-captive
power generation in India . In thermal generating stations coal,
oil, natural gas etc. are employed as primary sources of energy.

The percentage of ash in coal varies from 5% in good quality
coal to about 40% in poor quality coal
Power plants generally use poor quality of coal , thus amount
of ash produced by it is pretty large
A modern 2000MW plant produces about 5000 tons of ash
daily
The stations use some conveyor arrangement to carry ash to
dump sites directly or for carrying and loading it to trucks and
wagons which transport it to the site of disposal

BOILER
• A boiler or steam generator is a closed vessel in which water under
pressure, is converted into steam.
•Always designed to absorb maximum amount of heat released in the
process of combustion.
Types of Boilers
1. Horizontal, Vertical & Inclined Boiler (Based on Axis) – Horizontal Boiler can be
easily inspected & Repaired, it occupied more space.
2. Fire tube Boiler – Hot gas inside tube, Water surrounds the tubes. (Locomotive Boiler)
3. Water tube Boiler – Water is inside the tube, Hot gases surrounds them.
4. Forced circulation Boiler – Circulation of water is done by a forced pump.
(Benson, Lamont Boiler)
5. Natural circulation Boiler – Circulation of water in the boiler takes place due to
natural convention current produced by the application of heat.
6. High Pressure Boiler – Produces steam at pressure of 80 bar & above. (Benson

 Tuyeres - a nozzle through which air is forced into
furnace.
 The basic difference between coal and coke is that coal
is the natural source(chiefly hydrogen, with smaller
quantities of sulphur, oxygen, and nitrogen) and coke is
the derivative product produced by destructive
distillation. Both are used as fuel, but coke contains a
higher carbon content and few impurities.
Distillation is the process of
separating the components
or substances from a liquid
mixture by selective boiling
and condensation

In modern thermal power plant , coal is pulverised
i.e. ground to dust like size and carried to the furnace
in a stream of hot air. Pulverising is a means of
exposing a large surface area to the action of oxygen
and consequently helping combustion.
Pulverising mills are further classified as:

COMPOUNDING OF TURBINES
 The method in which energy from steam is extracted in more than
single stage is called Compounding. A multi-stage turbine i.e having
more than one set of rotors and nozzles is called compounded turbine.
 The steam produced in the boiler has sufficiently high enthalpy
when superheated.
 In all turbines the blade velocity is directly proportional to the velocity
of the steam passing over the blade.
 if the entire energy of the steam is extracted in one stage, i.e. if the
steam is expanded from the boiler pressure to the condenser pressure
in a single stage, then its velocity will be very high. Hence the velocity
of the rotor (to which the blades are keyed) can reach to about 30,000
rpm, which is pretty high for practical uses because of very high
vibration. Moreover at such high speeds the centrifugal forces are
immense, which can damage the structure. Hence, compounding is
needed.
 The high velocity which is used for impulse turbine just strikes on
single ring of rotor that cause wastage of steam ranges 10% to 12%. To
overcome the wastage of steam compounding of steam turbine is used.

GOVERNING OF STEAM TURBINES
 Steam Turbine Governing is the procedure of
monitoring and controlling the flow rate of
steam into the turbine with the objective of
maintaining its speed of rotation as constant.
The flow rate of steam is monitored and
controlled by interposing valves between the
boiler and the turbine.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
THROTTLE GOVERNING
The pressure of steam is reduced at the turbine entry thereby decreasing the
availability of energy.
In this method steam is passed through a restricted passage thereby
reducing its pressure across the governing valve.
The flow rate is controlled using a partially opened steam control valve. The
reduction in pressure leads to a throttling process(h1=h2, h=u + Pv) in which
the enthalpy of steam remains constant.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
 In nozzle governing the flow rate of steam is regulated by
opening and shutting of sets of nozzles rather than regulating
its pressure.
 In actual turbine, nozzle governing is applied only to the first
stage whereas the subsequent stages remain unaffected.
 No regulation to the pressure is applied, the advantage of this
method lies in the exploitation of full boiler pressure and
temperature.
NOZZLE GOVERNING
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
 When the turbine is overloaded for short durations. During
such operation, bypass valves are opened and fresh steam is
introduced into the later stages of the turbine. This generates
more energy to satisfy the increased load.

FEED WATER TREATMENT
 RawWater contains dissolved salts, Un dissolved salts or Suspended impurities.
 It is necessary to remove harmful salts dissolved in the water.
 Need for FeedWaterTreatment
 Scaling on inside wall of different heat exchangers due to deposition of
salts
 Suspended impurities create more pressure in the boiler leads to
explosion
 Dissolved salts react with boiler & tubes, there by corrode the surface
 Corrosion damage the turbine blades.
Define PH. Why high pH value is preferred to prevent the corrosion? (Apr 15)
pH(Potential of Hydrogen). It is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble
substances. pH value ( 1-14, 7-Neutral point, 1-most acidic, 14-most alkaline.
Metals typically develop a passive layer in moderately alkaline (high pH) solutions,
which lowers the corrosion rate as compared to acidic.

REVERSE OSMOSIS PLANT
The plant basically consists of two phases. The first phase is a pre treatment
plant.
 Filtration and coagulation removes the solids and suspended particles.
 Chlorination and other chemicals removes the biological organisms.
 Chemical addition controls the pH and hardness.
Membrane Filtration
 The second phase is the membrane filtration. Sea water at high pressure is
pumped to the filters. Each of the filter consists of a special membrane wrapped
around an inner tube. The pressure forces the water molecules through the
membranes to the inner tube. A 60 % yield of fresh water is possible in RO
systems. The remaining sea water carries away the collected salts and is
returned back into the sea. Increasing the number of filter modules increases
the capacity of the plant.

DUST COLLECTOR SYSTEM -CYCLONE SEPERATOR
• Cyclone separators or simply cyclones are separation
devices that use the principle of inertia to remove particulate
matter from flue gases.
• Cyclone separators is one of many air pollution control
devices known as pre cleaners since they generally remove
larger pieces of particulate matter.
• Cyclone separators work much like a centrifuge, but with a
continuous feed of dirty air. In a cyclone separator, dirty flue
gas is fed into a chamber. The inside of the chamber creates
a spiral vortex.
• The lighter components of this gas have less inertia, so it is
easier for them to be influenced by the vortex and travel up
it. Contrarily, larger components of particulate matter have
more inertia and are not as easily influenced by the vortex.

ELECTRO STATIC PRECIPITATOR
 The medium between the electrodes is air, and due to the high negativity of negative
electrodes, there may be a corona discharge surround the negative electrode rods or
wire mesh. The air molecules in the field between the electrodes become ionized, and
hence there will be plenty of free electrons and ions in the space
 The flue gases enter into the electrostatic precipitator, dust particles in the gases
collide with the free electrons available in the medium between the electrodes and the
free electrons will be attached to the dust particles.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
 As a result, the dust particles become negatively charged. Then these negatively charged
particles will be attracted due to electrostatic force of the positive plates.
 Consequently, the charged dust particles move towards the positive plates and deposited on
positive plates. Here, the extra electron from the dust particles will be removed on positive
plates, and the particles then fall due to gravitational force.
 We call the positive plates as collecting plates. The flue gases after travelling through the
electrostatic precipitator become almost free from ash particles and ultimately get
discharged to the atmosphere through the chimney

LOW LEVEL PARALLEL FLOW JET INJECTOR
 The mixture of
condensate, coolant and
air are extracted with
the help of wet air pump.
 Vacuum created in the
condenser limits up to
600 mm of Hg.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
HIGH LEVEL JET CONEDNSER/
BAROMETRIC JET CONDENSER
 It is also called
Barometric jet condenser
since it is placed above
the atmospheric pressure
equivalent to 10.33 m of
water pressure.
 Condensate extraction
pump is not required
because tail pipe has
incorporated in place of
it.ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
EJECTOR JET CONDENSER
 The cooling water enters
the top of the condenser
at least under a head of
6m of water pressure
with the help of
centrifugal pump.
 This system is simple,
reliable and cheap.
 Disadvantage of mixing
of condensate with the
coolant.

SURFACE CONDENSERS ARE OF TWO TYPES
 SURFACE
CONDENSERS
In this steam flows
outside the network of
tubes and water flows
inside the tubes.
 EVAPORATIVE
CONDENSERS
In this condenser shell is
omitted. The steam
passes through
condenser tubes, the
water is sprayed while
the air passes upward
outside the tube.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
CLASSIFICATION OF SURFACE CONDENSERS
 The number of water
passes:
1. Single pass
2. Multipass
 The direction of
condensate flow and
tube arrangement:
1. Down flow condenser
2. Central flow condenser
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
DOUBLE PASS SURFACE CONDENSER
 It consist of air tight cast
iron cylindrical shell.
 If cooling water is
impure, condenser tubes
are made up of red brass.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
DOWN FLOW SURFACE CONDENSER
 This condenser employs two
separate pumps for the
extraction of condensate and the
air.
 Baffles(flow directing vane) are
provided so that the air is cooled
to the minimum temperature
before it is extracted.
 The specific volume of cooled air
reduces, thereby, reduces the
pump capacity to about 50%.
Therefore, it also reduces the
energy consumption fro running
the air pump.ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
CENTRAL FLOW SURFACE CONDENSER
 Air extraction pump is
located at the centre of
the condenser tubes.
 Condensate is extracted
from the bottom of the
condenser with the help
of condensate extraction
pump.
 Provides the better
contact of steam.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
EVAPORATIVE CONDENSER
 The exhaust steam is passed through
the series of gilled tubes called
condenser coils.
 Thin film of cooling water trickles
over these tubes continuously from
water nozzles.
 During the condensation of steam,
this thin film of water is evaporated
and the remainder water is collected
in the water tank.
 The condensate is extracted with the
help of wet air pump.
 The air passing over the tubes
carries the evaporated water in the
form of vapour and it is removed
with the help of induced draft fan
installed at the top.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
MERITS AND DEMERITS OF SURFACE CONDENSERS
 MERITS
1. No mixing of cooling water
and steam, hence the
condensate directly pumped
into the boiler.
2. Any kind of feed water can
be used.
3. Develops high vacuum,
therefore suitable for large
power plants.
4. System is more efficient.
 DEMERITS
1. Require large quantity of
cooling water.
2. System is complicated, costly
and requires high
maintenance cost.
3. Require large floor space
since it is bulky.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
REQUIREMENTS OF A MODERN SURFACE CONDENSER
 The exhaust steam entering the condenser should be evenly distributed
over the whole cooling surface of the condenser vessel with minimum
pressure loss.
 The amount of cooling water being circulated in the surface condenser
should be regulated that the temperature of cooling water leaving the
condenser is equivalent to saturation temperature of steam
corresponding to steam pressure.
This will prevent under cooling of condensate.
 The deposition of dirt on the outer surface of tubes in surface
condensers need to be prevented.
Passing the cooling water through the tubes and allowing the steam to
flow over the tubes makes this happen.
 There should be no leakage of air into the condenser because presence
of air destroys the vacuum in the condenser and thus reduces the work
obtained per kg of steam. If there is any leakage of air into the
condenser air extraction pump need to be used to remove air as soon as
possible.
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
STEAM RATE
The capacity of the plant is expressed in terms of steam
rate or Specific Steam Consumption(SSC).
Rate of steam flow required to produce unit shaft output.
Steam rate = mass of steam/work output in kg/k.Wh
Steam rate = 3600.ms / WT
Ms – steam flow rate in kg/s
WT – turbine work, kW
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
HEAT RATE
 It is defined as the heat input needed to produce
one unit of power output
 It indicates the amount required to generate one
unit electricity
 Heat rate = heat supplied / work output
 Heat rate = 3600.Q1 / WT
 Q- Kg/s
 W-Kw
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
Reason out why cogeneration is quite viable in sugar industries compared to that
in other industries. (Nov 17)
Sugar production is a major Agro-Based industry in India. It generates various
solid wastes sugar cane trash, bagasse; press mud & bagasse fly ash.
Bagasse is a fibrous residue obtained after juice extraction which contains 45-
50% moisture & 1% ash. Its calorific value is 8022 KJ/kg. It is commonly used as a fuel
in boilers to generate steam & electricity through cogeneration.

  • 67. COMPOUNDING OF TURBINES  The method in which energy from steam is extracted in more than single stage is called Compounding. A multi-stage turbine i.e having more than one set of rotors and nozzles is called compounded turbine.  The steam produced in the boiler has sufficiently high enthalpy when superheated.  In all turbines the blade velocity is directly proportional to the velocity of the steam passing over the blade.  if the entire energy of the steam is extracted in one stage, i.e. if the steam is expanded from the boiler pressure to the condenser pressure in a single stage, then its velocity will be very high. Hence the velocity of the rotor (to which the blades are keyed) can reach to about 30,000 rpm, which is pretty high for practical uses because of very high vibration. Moreover at such high speeds the centrifugal forces are immense, which can damage the structure. Hence, compounding is needed.  The high velocity which is used for impulse turbine just strikes on single ring of rotor that cause wastage of steam ranges 10% to 12%. To overcome the wastage of steam compounding of steam turbine is used. ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET

GOVERNING OF STEAM TURBINES  Steam Turbine Governing is the procedure of monitoring and controlling the flow rate of steam into the turbine with the objective of maintaining its speed of rotation as constant. The flow rate of steam is monitored and controlled by interposing valves between the boiler and the turbine. ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
  • 72. THROTTLE GOVERNING The pressure of steam is reduced at the turbine entry thereby decreasing the availability of energy. In this method steam is passed through a restricted passage thereby reducing its pressure across the governing valve. The flow rate is controlled using a partially opened steam control valve. The reduction in pressure leads to a throttling process(h1=h2, h=u + Pv) in which the enthalpy of steam remains constant. ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
  • 73.  In nozzle governing the flow rate of steam is regulated by opening and shutting of sets of nozzles rather than regulating its pressure.  In actual turbine, nozzle governing is applied only to the first stage whereas the subsequent stages remain unaffected.  No regulation to the pressure is applied, the advantage of this method lies in the exploitation of full boiler pressure and temperature.

  • 115. MERITS AND DEMERITS OF SURFACE CONDENSERS  MERITS 1. No mixing of cooling water and steam, hence the condensate directly pumped into the boiler. 2. Any kind of feed water can be used. 3. Develops high vacuum, therefore suitable for large power plants. 4. System is more efficient.  DEMERITS 1. Require large quantity of cooling water. 2. System is complicated, costly and requires high maintenance cost. 3. Require large floor space since it is bulky. ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
  • 116. REQUIREMENTS OF A MODERN SURFACE CONDENSER  The exhaust steam entering the condenser should be evenly distributed over the whole cooling surface of the condenser vessel with minimum pressure loss.  The amount of cooling water being circulated in the surface condenser should be regulated that the temperature of cooling water leaving the condenser is equivalent to saturation temperature of steam corresponding to steam pressure. This will prevent under cooling of condensate.  The deposition of dirt on the outer surface of tubes in surface condensers need to be prevented. Passing the cooling water through the tubes and allowing the steam to flow over the tubes makes this happen.  There should be no leakage of air into the condenser because presence of air destroys the vacuum in the condenser and thus reduces the work obtained per kg of steam. If there is any leakage of air into the condenser air extraction pump need to be used to remove air as soon as possible. ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
  • 117. STEAM RATE The capacity of the plant is expressed in terms of steam rate or Specific Steam Consumption(SSC). Rate of steam flow required to produce unit shaft output. Steam rate = mass of steam/work output in kg/k.Wh Steam rate = 3600.ms / WT Ms – steam flow rate in kg/s WT – turbine work, kW ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET

It generates various solid wastes sugar cane trash, bagasse; press mud & bagasse fly ash. Bagasse is a fibrous residue obtained after juice extraction which contains 45- 50% moisture & 1% ash. Its calorific value is 8022 KJ/kg. It is commonly used as a fuel in boilers to generate steam & electricity through cogeneration. ME 6701 POWER PLANT ENGG. S.BALAMURUGAN AP/MECH AAACET
