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