This is about the overview of steam power plant and has some basic process of this steam power plant.

Steam is an important medium for producing mechanical energy. A steam power plant continuously converts the energy stored in fossil fuels (coal). Steam has the advantage that it can be raised from water which is available in abundance. The steam power stations are very much suitable where coal is available in abundance. The pressure ranges from 10kg/cm2 to super critical pressure and temperature varies from 250°C to 650°C.
