In this article we will discuss about the design of velox boiler which is used in steam power plants. Also learn about the advantages and benefits of velox boiler. It is a well-known fact that when the gas velocity exceeds the sound-velocity, the heat is transferred from the gas at a much higher rate than rates achieved with sub-sonic flow. [...]
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 [...]
A simple gas turbine plant consists of the following: 1. Turbine. 2. A compressor mounted on the same shaft or coupled to the turbine. 3. The combustor. 4. Auxiliaries such as starting device, auxiliary lubrication pump, fuel system, oil system and the duct system etc. A modified plant may have in addition to above an intercooler, a regenerator, a re-heater [...]
