1.Water steam circuits
The water-steam circuit of a thermal power generating plant is a semi-closed circuit. Here comparatively
not much water is required to supply to the boiler from external sources since the same water is reused
again and again by condensing the steam after its mechanical work of rotating turbine.
Here, water is first taken from a river or any other suitable natural source of water.
This water then is taken to the water treatment plant for removing unwanted particles and substances
from the water. This water is then fed to the boiler through an economizer.I
n the boiler, the water is converted into steam. This steam then goes to the super-heater, where the
steam is heated up to the superheating temperature. The superheated steam then goes to the turbine
through a series of nozzles.
At the outlet of these nozzles, the high pressure and high-temperature steam suddenly expands and
hence gets kinetic energy. Because of this kinetic energy, the steam rotates the turbine.
The turbine is coupled with a generator and the generator produces alternating electricity to the grid.
Suddenly expanded steam exhaust from the turbine to the condenser. Where the steam is condensed
back to the water with the help of a water circulating cooling system associated with cooling towers.
This condensed water is then fed back to the boiler through the economizer. The water supply from an
external source of water is limited here because of using condensed steam in the boiler system of the
thermal power generating plant.

2.What is residual oils

is a type of diesel oil which requires higher filtration and needs heating for usage. They are generally
considered as low-quality fuels. Residual fuels represent the heavy yields from the refining processes.
fuel oil that remains after the removal of valuable distillates (such as gasoline) from petroleum and
that is used especially by industry
