The operation of a thermal power plant is explained in a logical manner with help of animation in this video. Starting from the very basic question a conceptual overview of Rankine cycle is provided here. Topics such a Generator, Steam turbine, condenser, feed water pump, boiler are illustrated initially. The basic Rankine cycle is modified and use of super hearing, reheating and feed water heating (deaerator) is explained there after.

why we condense steam??? why we can not use steam again without changing it into liquid??? if someone have some idea then please reply to comment

[@hamzasaleem9572]

Because it easy to to transfer liquid than steam with high pressure.

[@marcustornea2821]

Being a steam turbine commissioning engineer, I found the HP inlet parameters kind of low for a lignite fired power plant... are these models based on GE steam turbines? I work for Siemens, and our models look so very different! Lovely video, it's put together very well!

[@abhishekbhande952]

why steam is condensed?????

[@naeagle1285]

Abhishek Bhande

[@bayanzabihiyan7465]

liquids are much easier to pressurize than a gas. It occupies a much much lower volume thus the pump can be built for pressure and ignore flowrate. Inside the boiler it turns into steam vastly increasing its volume and thus its exit velocity.

[@actorvideos7350]

Super explanation👏

[@gabrocki]

Ahh, the good ol' Rankine cycle. I've studied the theory but haven't really had the chance to visualize the actual, real world method. Great video as always!

[@Anonimousxz]

Hi, I'm using Google Translate, because I'm Brazilian. Why do thermoelectric plants use only steam to generate electricity ?, I think it can increase efficiency in !? My proposal to increase the efficiency of thermoelectric plants: In my view, the thermoelectric plants are failing to take advantage of the moment when the steam becomes water .. they could simply let the steam rise in contact with some metal, making water and letting the water go down as if it were in a waterfall, from there, rotate the turbines, taking advantage of this movement of water descent, then they could continue transforming the water that is already in the base, into steam and rotate turbines again ... in my opinion this would greatly increase the efficiency of the thermoelectric plants in generating energy electrical. Operation of the thermoelectric plant according to my friend Tibulace from Yahoo and this video: "The water follows a cycle in the steam thermoelectric: It is heated, it turns into steam under high pressure. This steam moves the steam turbines, which rotate the alternators, which produce electricity. Then the exhaust steam from the turbines goes to the condenser, where it transforms back into liquid water. Then it is injected into the boilers, to transform into water vapor and continue the cycle. In this way, the water is reused. The energy it contains, when it condenses and turns into hot water, it is also partially recovered. " In the current mode of operation, they even use electricity using a condenser to turn the steam into water ... waste. In the way I mention, the steam would be transformed in a natural way into water and the water would be used because it has potential gravitational force, making the turbines rotate using the technique of a small hydroelectric plant. Greetings from Brazil!

[@gunner-pm7jh]

i could be verry happy if wen can download this like a interanctive 3d scene to watch on android phones :/

[@two_number_nines]

why not put generator between the condenser and the cooling fluid?

[@chinmayjha8720]

we require a desired RPM of generator's shaft to generate electricity of 50hz or 60hz frequency. that rpm can be achieved by high press high temp steam , not by a flow of water.

[@two_number_nines]

chinmay jha they can put any generator as long as it converts part of the heatflow to electricity. just rectify the current no matter the frequency and then use smps system to make it 50/60 hz at the desired voltage

[@paopaowell917]

this kind of project in end it just wanna high pressure to push generator rotation and spin for sudden speed than it generating a energy electricity so there are still lot of theory can made this power plant without any coal fire heatwave to destructure on earth blue planet i don't have any great idea for suitable simply replacing this coal fire power plant but i do know one day from now not reach to 50 year there will be new thing to replace coal, nuclear power plant as our current best resources that is hydro and wind power LOL

[@FCGautos]

paopao well you do understand the example of coal is the medium used to heat the water, right? You can use any method you desire to heat the water, as long as it hits the necessary temperatures and is efficient enough.

[@weathergenerator]

Fantastic animation as of today on boilers. keep it up.

[@abhishekbhande952]

why steam is condensed????

[@suneethakuppili6033]

Puka

[@victorpaiva4164]

Because of the second law of thermodinamics, in a isolated system, a energy conversion will never result in a decrease of entropy, in other words, you always have to spend a great deal of energy sendind heat from the hot source to the cold source in a way to return to the beggining of the thermodinamic cycle. The other reason its because you have to increase the pressure of the work fluid in order not to have counter flow in the system using a powerfull pump, and pumps works using liquid, not steam.

What is the software use to make such video?

learn anyone of 3D max, Maya, Blender or Cinema 4D. Be expert at one of them. After being expert at one of them just create few projects and you will know where you stand. But it depends on your field as well. If you are an engineer or scientist than I would recommend Good theoretical knowledge, 2D Autocad software, any 3D like Catia, Proe, creo , solidworks, Inventor or solid edge, one Analysis software and MS office to represent your Idea in best way. There more things can be done but everything depends on need and desire....

Well, if you consider 30% being efficient, then yeah, power plants are VERY efficient. Some even go to 40%! You should do more renewable energy sources.

that is way more efficient than solar at this point, especially in real world application:less than optimal angle, pollen, heat, cold ect

Possible ways to make it more efficient: - Add a turbine directly to the exhaust before the filter (like a turbocharger before the catalytic converter in a car) and attach it to a second generator - Make use of wasted heat energy from as many surfaces as possible by adding a network of heat engine generators linked to a transformer - Adding gear ratios from the turbine to the coil to increase the output
