1. What is a plant?

A powerplant or an industrial plant is an industrial facility use to generate electricity. To

generate electricity, a powerplant needs an energy source. Non-renewable sources such as coal,
coke, fossil fuels, oil are examples of energy sources. Renewable sources such as wind, solar,
wave, and hydroelectric are also energy sources.
2. What is a steam power plant?
A steam powerplant is a powerplant that uses steam as its working substance. A simple steam
powerplants follows the rankine cycle. Compressed liquid from the feedwater line is pumped
through the boiler. Heating occurs at the boiler until the water becomes steam at it reaches
boiling point or above boiling point. This steam passes through the blades of the turbine, does
shaft work, and generated electricty. Not all the steam passing through the turbine does work.
Some of this steam passes through condenser, rejects heat coming to the steam and this
rejected heat absorbed by the cooling fluid circulating in the condenser. This steam becomes
saturated and returns to the pump to be compressed again and the cycle is repeated.

3. Give one component of steam power plant

A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that rejects waste heat to
the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Cooling
towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the
working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of closed circuit dry
cooling towers, rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air
temperature. This cooling fluid is from the condenser.
