The country has substantial hydro-electric power resources. During the British period Mr. J. M. Myres had made a guess estimate of a minimum potential of 3.5 million Kw. and a maximum of 8 million Kw. But this was rather an incomplete and under-estimate. The economically exploitable hydro-power potential of the country has been assessed by the Central Water and Power [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of LaMont boiler with the help of a suitable diagram. This boiler works on a forced circulation and the circulation is maintained by a centrifugal pump, driven by a steam turbine using steam from the boiler. For emergency an electrically driven pump is also fitted. Fig. 12.22 shows a LaMont steam [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of benson boiler which is used in steam power plants. Also learn about the advantages and benefits of benson boiler. In the LaMont boiler, the main difficult experienced is the formation and attachment of bubbles on the inner surfaces of the heating tubes. The attached bubbles to the tube surfaces reduce [...]
