ABSTRACT

The power generation plays a vital role for any country

development. One of such power generation unit is
thermal power plant which is the main source for largescale production of electrical energy. The cycle used is
MODIFEID RANKINE CYCLE which includes super
heated steam, regenerating feed water and reheated
steam. Raw materials used in thermal power plant are
coal, water, oil and air.

The main objective behind my project is to study about

the thermal plant, how power is generated, what are its
sources, working of boilers and boiler tube failures.

This work concentrates much about boiler tubes,

different type of tube failures and main cause for failure
of tubes and preventive measures in boiler tubes.
