2. Advanced steam technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_steam_technology

   The engines are planned to produce electricity in wood chip fired power plants. According to the company, the steam engine named Quadrum generates 27% efficiency and runs with 180 °C steam at 8 bar pressure, while a corresponding steam turbine produces just 15% efficiency, requires steam temperature of 240 °C and pressure of 40 bar. The high ...

   This Babcock & Wilcox nuclear steam generator moved in a special train (restricted to 20 mph) via the Penn Central Railroad and Southern Railway from Barberton, Ohio to a Duke Energy site in Oconee, S.C. This generator weights 1,140,000 lbs and is a record shipment for the Railroad at that time (1970). A once-through steam generator A VVER ...

   Steam turbines were also described by the Italian Giovanni Branca (1629) [6] and John Wilkins in England (1648). [7] [8] The devices described by Taqi al-Din and Wilkins are today known as steam jacks. In 1672, an impulse turbine-driven small toy car was designed by Ferdinand Verbiest. A more modern version of this car was produced some time in ...

6. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi ) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a ...

7. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

   In the nuclear plant field, steam generator refers to a specific type of large heat exchanger used in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) to thermally connect the primary (reactor plant) and secondary (steam plant) systems, which generates steam. In a boiling water reactor (BWR), no separate steam generator is used and water boils in the reactor ...
