Questions and Answers

Match the following steps in the steam cycle with their descriptions:

Steam flowing directly to the condensate tank = Wastes heat, water, and chemicals as it vents to atmosphere Condensate in the condensate tank = Cool enough to pump back into the boiler for the steam cycle to start over Boiler in a small power plant = Part of the basic system similar to most process steam systems Large Thermal Generating Station = Example of a more complex energy plant

Match the following parts of a power plant with their roles:

Heat exchanger = Place where steam would ideally spend enough time to give up heat and condense Condensate tank = Where steam flows directly when it doesn't spend enough time in the heat exchanger Boiler = Pumps condensate back into the steam cycle Thermal Generating Station = More complex form of energy plant

Match the following elements in the steam cycle with their outcomes:

Insufficient time in heat exchanger = Steam flows directly to condensate tank, wasting heat, water, and chemicals Condensate in condensate tank = Can be pumped back into the boiler to start the steam cycle over Steam-consuming processes operating simultaneously = May require higher steam pressures More complex energy plant = Involves a more intricate steam cycle

Match the following stages with their descriptions in the steam cycle of a power plant:

<p>Steam not spending enough time in heat exchanger = Leads to waste of heat, water, and chemicals Steam flowing directly to condensate tank = Occurs when steam doesn't spend enough time in heat exchanger Condensate in the condensate tank = Is cool enough to be pumped back into the boiler Start of the steam cycle = Involves pumping of condensate back into the boiler</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following components of an energy plant with their functions:

<p>Heat exchanger = Ideally, steam spends enough time here to give up heat and condense Condensate tank = Receives steam that didn't spend enough time in the heat exchanger Boiler = Pumps cool condensate from the tank back into the steam cycle Thermal Generating Station = A more complex type of energy plant</p> Signup and view all the answers
