How Power plant works-Rankine Cycle & Its Practical use

Introduction-How Thermal Power Plant Works? In Thermal power plants, the fuel (coal) is burnt to produce heat energy and this energy is later converted to electrical energy through a series of interlinked processes. It uses water as the working medium to first absorb heat energy from combustion of fuel and then extracting the heat energy
