  2. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

    The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few' or 'A'-'F'-'U'-'E') is a thermal efficiency measure of space-heating furnaces and boilers.The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment ...

  3. Supercritical steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_steam_generator

    Ultra-supercritical – up to 1,400 °F (760 °C) and pressure levels of 5,000 psi (340 bar) (additional innovations, not specified, would allow even more efficiency) Nuclear power plant steam typically enters turbines at subcritical values – for U-Tube Steam Generators 77 bar (1,117 psi) and 294 °C (561 °F), with comparable temperature and ...

  4. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency is a dimensionless performance measure of a device that uses thermal energy, such as an internal combustion engine, steam turbine, steam engine, boiler, furnace, refrigerator, ACs etc.

  5. High-pressure steam locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pressure_steam_locomotive

    In the later years of steam, boiler pressures were typically 200 to 250 psi (1.38 to 1.72 MPa). [citation needed] High-pressure locomotives can be considered to start at 350 psi (2.41 MPa), when special construction techniques become necessary, but some had boilers that operated at over 1,500 psi (10.34 MPa).

  6. 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 ...

  7. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

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

    The Cornish boiler developed around 1812 by Richard Trevithick was both stronger and more efficient than the simple boilers which preceded it. It consisted of a cylindrical water tank around 27 feet (8.2 m) long and 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter, and had a coal fire grate placed at one end of a single cylindrical tube about three feet wide which ...

  8. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

    Engine efficiency of thermal engines is the relationship between the total energy contained in the fuel, and the amount of energy used to perform useful work. There are two classifications of thermal engines- Internal combustion (gasoline, diesel and gas turbine-Brayton cycle engines) and

  9. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

    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.
