List the main parts and explain the operation of a dry steam power plant
What will be an ideal response?
The main parts include the production well, steam turbine, alternator (generator), condenser, cooling tower and an injection well.
When operating, steam enters the turbine and causes it to spin. As the steam loses its energy, the temperature drops and the steam condenses. A separate condenser cools the steam and it condenses to water (creating a lower pressure in the process). The turbine is connected to a generator, which produces electricity. The condenser is cooled from make-up water and water that is evaporated in the cooling tower. Water is returned to the reservoir via an injection well
