The coal reaches the plant in the railway wa"ons. The unloadin" of coal isdone echanically by tiltin" the wa"ons by tippler. The coal is sent to the
coal stora"e yard throu"h the con%eyer belts. The crushed coal fro store is
sent to the ill bunkers throu"h con%eyer belts.
The air which takes away the coal dust passes upward into the classifier
where the direction of flow is chan"es abruptly. This causes the coarse
particle in the air coal strea to finer coal dust alon" with the priary air
lea%es the classifier onto coal transport pipin" fro where it "oes to noFFle.

It is a structure of hei"ht 224 desi"ned to cool the water by natural
drou"ht. The cross sectional area is less at the center ust to create low
pressure so that the air can lift up due to natural drou"ht and can carry heat
fro spherical drops. The upper portion is also di%er"in" for increasin" the
efficiency of coolin" tower. )ence it is naed as natural drou"ht coolin"
tower.
&L&TROSTAT. %R&.%.TATOR:
It is an electronic de%ice# which reo%es the ash particles fro the soke
throu"h furnace of boiler. It helps in pre%ention of air pollution. It works on
the principle that a char"ed particle is attracted towards opposite char"e.
@hen the fly ash coes between the opposites char"ed plated it "ets char"ed
and is attracted towards the plates and then collected fro the plates by the
dischar"in" particles.

Electric power "eneration takes place in the followin" steps0
2. Coal to stea
. (tea to echanical power
D. (witchin" and transission
OAL TO ST&AM:
The boiler burns pul%eriFed coal at rates up to 44 tonnes per hour. =ro the
coal store# fuel is carried on a con%eyor belt and dischar"ed by eans of a
coal tipper into the bunker. It then falls throu"h a wei"hed into the coal
pul%eriFin" ill where it is "round to a powder as fine as flour.
Air is drawn fro the top of the boiler house by the force drau"ht fan and
passed throu"h the air pre-heaters to the hot air duct. =ro here soe of the
air passes directly to the burners of the furnace. )ere it i,es with the restof the air and burns with "reat heat.
The boiler consists of a lar"e nuber of tubes and the heat produced raises
the tep. of the water circulatin" in the to create stea# which passes to
stea dru at %ery hi"h pressure. The stea is then heated further in the
super heater and fed throu"h outlet %al%e to the hi"h pressure cylinder of the
stea turbine.
@hen the stea has been throu"h the first cylinder hi"h pr./ of the turbine#
it is returned to the repeater of the boiler and reheated before bein" passed
throu"h the other cylinders interediate and low pr./ of the turbine.
=ro the turbine the stea passes into a condenser to be turned back into
water condensateJ. This is puped throu"h feed heaters where it aybe
heated to about 34GC to the econoiFer where the tep. is raised
sufficiently for the condensate returned to the lower half of the stea dru
of the boiler.
The flue "ases lea%in" the boiler are used to reheat the condensate in theeconoiFer and then pass throu"h the air pre-heaters to the electro-static
precipitator. =inally they are drawn by the induced drau"ht fan into the ain
flue and to the chiney.

ST&AM TO M&+A*.AL %O3&R:
=ro the boiler# a stea pipe con%eys stea to the turbine throu"h a stop
%al%e and throu"h control %al%es that autoatically re"ulate the supply of
stea of the turbine# stop %al%e and control %al%es are located in a stea
chest and "o%ernor# dri%en fro the ain turbine shaft# operates the control
%al%es to re"ulate the aount of stea used.
(tea fro the control %al%es enters the hi"h pr. cylinder of the turbine#
where it passes throu"h a rin" of stationary blades fi,ed to the cylinder wall.
These act as noFFles and direct the stea ounted on a disc secured to the
turbine shaft. This second rin" turns the shaft as a result of the force of the
stea. The stationary and o%in" blades to"ether constitute a sta"eJ of the
turbine and in practice any sta"es are necessary. The stea passes throu"h
each sta"e in turn until it reaches the end of hi"h pr. cylinder and in its
passa"e soe of its heat ener"y is char"ed into echanical ener"y.
The stea lea%in" the hi"h pr. cylinder "oes back to the boiler for reheatin"
and is returned to the interediate pr. cylinder. )ere it passes throu"h
another series of stationary and o%in" blades.
=inally# the stea is taken to the low pr. cylinder each of which it enters at
the center flowin" outwards in opposite direction throu"h the rows of turbine
blades an arran"eent known as double flow to the e,treities of the
cylinder. As the stea "i%es up its heat ener"y to dri%e the turbine# its tep.
fall and it e,pands. The turbine shaft rotates at D444 rp at 34)F. The
turbine shaft dri%es the "enerator to "enerate alternatin" current.
@hen as uch ener"y as possible has been e,tracted fro the stea it is
e,hausted directly to the condenser. This runs the len"th of the low pr. part
of the turbine and ay be beneath or on either side of it. =ro the
condenser# the condensate is puped throu"h low pr. feed heaters by the
e,traction pup# after which its pr. is raised to boiler pr. by the boiler feed
pup. It passed throu"h the further feed heaters to the econoiFer and the
boiler for recon %ersion into stea.

The le%el of differential pressure between the dri%in" end of the ill and

in "lass theroeter. It consists of a "lass tube with a thin wall "lass
bulb at the lower end. sually ercury is filled in the bulb. @hen the
heat is applied to the "lass bulb# it rises up the capillary colun of the
tube to indicate the tep.
As ercury freeFes at -D5GC. (o for easurin" %ery low teperatures
other li!uid like alcohol is used.

T+&RMOOU%L&:
The workin" principle of therocouple depends upon the thero-electric
effect. If two dissiilar etals are oined to"ether so as to for a closed
circuit# there will be two unctions where they eet each other. If one of
these unctions is heated# then a current flows in the circuit. This can be
detected by a "al%anoeter. The aount of current produced depends upon
the difference in the tep. between the two unction and on the
characteristics of the two etals. This was first obser%ed by (EE>AC? in
282 and is known as see back effect.
Instruent which reports the %ariation in current flow are calibrated in ters
of tep. and are known as therocouple pyroeter. The wires are oined at
the ends which for two unctions# a easurin" unction and a referenceunction. )eatin" the easurin" unction produces a %olta"e "reater than the
%olta"e of the reference unction. The difference between the two# %olta"e
easured and %olteter readin" is con%erted to its correspondin" tep. This
con%ersion table is "enerally supplied by the therocouple anufactures.
