Parabolic trough This type of collector is generally, used in solar power plants. A trough shaped parabolic. reflector is used to concentrate sunlight on an insulated tube (Dewar tube) or heat pipe, placed at the focal point...
Flat plate and evacuated tube types of solar collectors are typically used to collect heat for space heating or domestic hot water. A flat plate is the most common type of solar thermal collector, and is usually used as a solar...
Working of Open Cycle Gas Turbine The most basic gas turbine unit is one operating on the open cycle in which a rotary compressor and a turbine are mounted on a common shaft as image. Air is draw from the atmosphere into the...
The gas turbine power plant has relatively low cost and can be quickly put into commission. Gas turbine installations require only a fraction of water used by their steam turbine counter parts. The size of gas turbine plants used...
Nuclear energy produced from nuclear fuels is directly involved in power generation. Mostly, nuclear reactor is with steam power plants. Nuclear Steam Combined Power Plant In this combined cycle, heated helium gas is used to run...
A reactor of this shape is a called a tokamak. The most well known of the nuclear fusion test reactors is the TFTR at Princeton. It is a magnetic confinement reactor using the toroidal geometry of the tokamak, a device first...
This is a very high pressure supercritical water cooled reactor which operates above the thermodynamic critical point of water to give a thermal efficiency about one third higher than today’s light water reactors. The...
Like other helium gas cooled reactor which have operated or are under development, these will be high temperature units of 850°C, suitable for power generation, thermochemical hydrogen production or other process heat. For...
In fast breeder reactor, enriched Uranium (U235) or Plutonium is kept in the casing without using moderator. The casing is surrounded by a thick blanket of fertile Uranium (U238). This is known as breeding material. Fig shows a...
