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.
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 .
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]

The actual vapor power cycle differs from the ideal Rankine cycle because of irreversibilities in the inherent components caused by fluid friction and heat loss to the surroundings; fluid friction causes pressure drops in the boiler, the condenser, and the piping between the components, and as a result the steam leaves the boiler at a lower ...
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
For help on the process, see Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Inkscape. This tutorial aims to instruct a beginner on the basic principles of vector graphics using Microsoft Word (Office 97 or later). The basic principles are the same in other drawing programs such as CorelDraw or the free and open source OpenOffice.org.
