The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling, produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity. Cooling water from the river condenses the steam back into water. The river water is either discharged directly back to the river or cooled in the towers and reused in the plant.

The efficiency of a conventional steam–electric power plant, defined as energy produced by the plant divided by the heating value of the fuel consumed by it, is typically 33 to 48%, limited as all heat engines are by the laws of thermodynamics (See: Carnot cycle). The rest of the energy must leave the plant in the form of heat.
A thermal power station, also known as a thermal power plant, is a type of power station in which the heat energy generated from various fuel sources (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc.) is converted to electrical energy. [1]
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Diagram Submarine Reactor & Steam Plant.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. This image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data .
This diagram shows a simplified version of the process tidal stream generators go through to convert kinetic energy from the current into electricity. French Ce schéma montre une version simplifiée d'un générateur à force marémotrice qui convertit l'énergie cinétique du courant en électricité.
The file size of this SVG image may be abnormally large because most or all of its text has been converted to paths rather than using the more conventional <text> element. . Unless rendering the text of the SVG file produces an image with text that is incurably unreadable due to technical limitations, it is highly recommended to change the paths back to t
The inverted U-tube bundle of a Combustion Engineering steam generator. A steam generator (aka nuclear steam raising plant ('NSRP')) is a heat exchanger used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core. It is used in pressurized water reactors (PWRs), between the primary and secondary coolant loops.
