4.0 THEORY
A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven.
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins asteam turbine which drives an electrical
generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in
a condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle.
The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due to the
different fossil fuel resources generally used to heat the water. Some prefer to use
the term energy center because such facilities convert forms of heat energy into
electrical energy.Certain thermal power plants also are designed to produce heat
energy for industrial purposes of district heating, or desalination of water, in addition
to generating electrical power. Globally, fossil fueled thermal power plants produce a
large part of man-made CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, and efforts to reduce
these are varied and widespread.
Combined heat and power plants (CH&P plants), often called co-generation plants,
produce both electric power and heat for process heat or space heating. Steam and
hot water lose energy when piped over substantial distance, so carrying heat energy
by steam or hot water is often only worthwhile within a local area, such as a ship,
industrial plant, or district heating of nearby buildings.

5.1 State all the components used in steam power
plant and give the explanation of theirs uses.

CONCLUSION
A thermal power plant uses steam to spin turbines,
which in turn feed electric generators. Most power plants
in the world use thermal energy to operate. A thermal
