  • Most common type of power plant in the world
    Thermal Power Plant
  • The percentage the thermal power plant takes of global electricity generation
    60%
  • Thermal power plant are used to generate electricity from a variety of what
    Fuel
  • Enumerate the fuels used in thermal power plant
    Coal
    Natural gas
    Nuclear power
    Oil
  • It is a large facility that converts heat energy into electric power
    Thermal Power Plant
  • involves using heat to produce high-pressure steam, which drives turbines connected to generators. The steam is then condensed back into water and reused.

    Principle of Thermal Power Plants
  • A device that converts the energy in a stream of fluid into mechanical energy 
    Turbines
  • Enumerate the types of turbine according to the fluid used
    Steam, Gas, Water, Wind
  • Enumerate commonly used oil in power plants
    Crude, Diesel, Heavy Fuel Oil
  • Is a naturally occurring liquid petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposists and other organic materials form from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago 
    Crude Oil
  • Complex mixture produced by the distillation of crude oil
    Diesel Oil
  • Residual fuel incurred during the distillation of crude oil
