Read MoreCombined-cycle power plants ( Fig. 2.3) are compound gas turbine–steam turbine systems wherein the extreme hot exhaust from a gas turbine is employed to run a boiler, and the steam thus produced is fed into a steam turbine to generate power. These plants can deliver high power output at efficiencies as high as 50%–60% with low emissions and

Read MoreIn some steam drum designs, water level is extremely critical because the baffling may isolate a generating section of the boiler when the steam drum water level falls below a certain point. Thin-lipped bursts also occur in superheater tubes when steam flow is insufficient, when deposits restrict flow, or when tubes are blocked by water due to a rapid firing rate during boiler start-up.
