What are the components present in the diesel electric power plants?
Engine
Air filter
Super charger
Exhaust system
Fuel supply system.
Starting system
Cooling system
Lubrication system
Governing system.
Diesel power plants are more efficient for low and medium power requirements
Wide range of fules can be burnt easily
No standby losses
It requires less starting time
It can be located very near to the load centre
It requires less space
Plant lay out is simple.
5. List out some commonly used starting system in a large diesel engines
By an auxiliary engine
By an electric motor
By compressed air
6. What are the injection systems are used in diesel power plants?
7. What are the various Lubricating systems are used in I.C Engines?
8. List the reason why the cooling system is necessary for a diesel engine.
11.
Compressors
Intercooler
Combustion chamber
Gas turbine
Regenerator
Reheater
In this, the compressed air from the compressor is heated in a heat exchange (air heater) by some
external source of heat (coal or oil) at constant pressure. Then the high pressure hot gases expand
passing through the turbine and mechanical power is developed. The exhaust gas is then cooled to its
original temperature in a cooler before passing into the compressor again.
12. What is the different between open cycle and closed cycle gas turbine plant?
closed cycle
Exhaust is re circulated
no pollution
open cycle
Exhaust of the turbine is
opened to atmosphere
Air and noise pollution
15. What are the methods to improving the thermal efficiency in open cycle gas turbine
plant?
Methods for improvement of thermal efficiency of open cycle gas turbine plant are :
Inter cooling
Reheating
Regeneration
16. What is the main difference between free piston engine plants and conventional gas
turbine plant?
Free-piston engine plants are the conventional gas turbine plants with the difference that the air
compressor and combustion chamber are replaced by a free piston engine.
Write the few fuels for Gas turbine and why these fuels are use for gas
17.
turbine?
Natural gas, last furnace gas, produce gas, coal gas and solid fuels distillate oils and
residual oils paraffins used in gas turbine and methane, ethane, propane, octane. Important
properties to be considered while selecting the fuel for gas turbine are as follows: 1) Volatility 2)
Combustion products, 3) Energy contents, 4) Lubricating properties, 5) Availability.
