Steam-Boilers

By Ashik
Boiler:
A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water.
Fuel used in Boiler:
The source of heat for a boiler is combustion of any of several fuels, such as wood, coal, oil, or
natural gas. Electric steam boilers use resistance- or immersion-type heating elements. Nuclear
fission is also used as a heat source for generating steam. Heat recovery steam generators
(HRSGs)use the heat rejected from other processes such as gas turbines.
Types of Boiler:
There are several types of boiler. Among, few of them given below;

Fire tube boiler:In this type of boiler, boiler/ vessel is partially filled with water. The boiler is
equipped by the large no. of tubes through which fuel is being passed. During the fuel burning,
huge amount of heat generate and passes through the water and water vaporized. The following
figure is a fire tube boiler.







 Water tube boiler:This type of boiler is exactly same with fire tube boiler except that water is
passing through the pipes and fuel is burned into the vessel.

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

By Ashik
Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

Alternator Synchronous Generator | Definition and Types of Alternator

By Ashik
  Definition of Alternator The definition of alternator is hidden in the name of this machine itself. An alternator is such a machine which produces alternation electricity. It is a kind of generators which converts mechanical energy into alternating electrical energy. It is also known as synchronous generator. History of Alternator Michael Faraday and Hippolyte Pixii gave the very first concept of alternator . Michael Faraday designed a rotating rectangular turn of conductor inside a magnetic field to produce alternating current in the external static circuit. After that in the year of 1886 J.E.H. Gordon, designed and produced first prototype of useful model. After that Lord Kelvin and Sebastian Ferranti designed a model of 100 to 300 Hz synchronous generator. Nikola Tesla in 1891, designed a commercially useful 15 KHz generator. After this year, poly phase alternators were come into picture which can deliver currents of multiple phases. Use of Alternator ...
