Definition The temperature of the metal at which it changes its phase from solid-state to liquid state is called its melting point. At the melting point, the solid and liquid state of the metal exists in equilibrium. The melting temperature of metal tells us that it will liquefy at that point. For changing the shape …
Introduction The power stations like a steam power plant where a large amount of exhaust steam is generated by the steam turbines are passed into the condensers where the exhaust steam gets converted into hot water. Now the cold water that is used by the condensers to cool the exhaust steam is supplied by the …
Perhaps one of the most essential forms of energy transmission that truly helped people in different aspects of life is coming from geothermal plants. If you’re not fully aware yet, water heated with geothermal energy enables animals to thrive in places where temperatures can dramatically drop to sub-zero. Also, when we take a hot bath, …
Are you curious to know what is annealing? Well, if yes, then, keep reading this article because in this article we are going to discuss this heat treatment process in detail. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started. What is Annealing? In annealing, we basically heat the material to change its physical properties …
What is a Refrigerator? A refrigerator commonly called as fridge is defined as a machine which is used to maintain or keep the food materials at low temperature and prevents their spoilage. The food materials kept at low temperature spoils or degrade gradually and can remain fresh for longer time. The refrigerator generally keeps the …
What is a Perfect Gas? A perfect gas or an ideal gas is a state of a substance, whose evaporation from the liquid state is completed and which obeys all the gas laws strictly under all conditions of pressure and temperature. In reality there is no ideal or perfect gas which obeys all the law …

Adiabatic process is a process in which there is no exchange of heat takes place from the working substance to the surrounding during its expansion or compression. This is possible when the working system is made thermally insulated, that is no heat can leave or enters it during the process. So we can say that …
In this article, you will learn about the lever safety valve – definition, main parts and working. It is used for the boiler. The main purpose of this safety valve is to prevent the explosion of the boiler due to the increased steam pressure. This device helps to prevent a major accidents in steam power …

Loeffler Boiler is a forced circulation, high pressure, and water tube boiler with internally fired furnace. In this boiler, the 2/3 of superheated steam is used to evaporate the water in the evaporating drum and remaining 1/3 of the steam from the superheater is used by the turbine. A steam circulating pump is used to …
