RE: Reasons for Low Efficiencies of Thermal Power Plants and Ways of Improving It
As usual, you have written another one for the classrooms. Very educative and original. According to the law of conservation of energy, we cannot create energy, and any process that leverages heat must be a low-efficiency process because of the difficulty in converting heat to any other form of energy without incurring huge losses.
Thanks for sharing.
To quantify what you are saying, that is called bets limit. It is the maximum amount of energy that can be taken from given input while converting from low quality of energy to high quality of energy. Its value is 16/27 I guess.
Thanks for making it always a point to read through my post. I appreciate your time and comment. The ever increasing demand of energy needs ways of improving on the efficiency of power plants so as to reduce power cuts. CCGT and Cogeneration bring the option of improvement in efficiency of thermal plants.
Thanks for always showing up in my blog. The pleasure is mine for being able to impress you with my post. All the best.
Thanks for the kind observation. It feels good to know you value the quality post .
