In the turbine, the steam passes through the blades, which spins the electrical generator (C), resulting in a flow of electricity. After leaving the turbine, the steam is converted (condensed) back into water in the condenser (D). The water is then pumped (E) back to the boiler (F) to be reheated and converted back into steam.
Read MoreIf not using the steam engine to produce electricity, hot water from the boiler can also be used to provide heat. A downside of this simple wood-fired boiler is the constant attention it requires feeding the fire and operating the boiler controls. Gordon notes that adding automatic controls to a steam generator …

The system consisting of: Fuel side with natural gas feed, air blower, combustion chamber, & fuel side of the steam boiler.
Read MoreSteam Calculators: Boiler Calculator. Steam Generator. Steam generators exploit a physical process in which heat is transferred from a source at a higher temperature via a working substance (or as is more usually referred a coolant) to a sink that is at a lower temperature.
Read MorePower generation is complicated but let's try to keep it simple. Power generation is a term used to describe electricity production using different types of technology—some, such as steam boilers, are more than a hundred years old and others, such as wind turbines, are newer. Actually, steam boilers and windmills are a lot older.
Read MoreSteam turbine power plant consists of five main components boiler, turbine, recuperator, condenser and pump (Yamamoto, 2001). Work starts from the boiler which heats the water to make steam at required temperature and pressure. Steam is then used by the steam turbine to rotate generator attached to it. Steam then passes though condenser which
