200 Watts Steam Power Plant Model BSG 011-M1
200 Watts Steam Power Plant Model BSG 011-M1
Sci-tech 200 Watts Steam Power Plant Model BSG 011-M1 is an energy conversion device used to generate mechanical power or electricity from fuels. Steam at high pressures and temperature is generated and its energy is absorbed by expanding in a turbine or an engine, which are usually coupled to the devices such as an alternator, generator, pump or a compressor. Thus the energy contained in the fuel is converted to useful purposes. Steam Power Plants are complex and consist of several components and instrumentation systems which are of interest to various training fields such as power plant engineering, mechanical engineering, marine engineering, propulsion, energy conversion, heat transfer, electronics and controls etc.
