    Module No. 1: Thermal Energy Conversion System


    Syllabus:
    Thermal Energy conversion system: Review of energy scenario in India, General philosophy
    and need of energy, Different Types of fuels used for steam generation, Equipment for
    burning coal in lump form, strokers, different types, Oil burners, Advantages and
    disadvantages of using pulverized fuel, Equipment for preparation and burning of pulverized
    coal, unit system and bin system. Pulverized fuel furnaces, cyclone furnace
    Coal and ash handling, Generation of steam using forced circulation, high and supercritical
    pressures. Chimneys: Natural, forced, induced and balanced draft, Calculations and numerical
    involving height of chimney to produce a given draft. Cooling towers and Ponds. Accessories
    for the Steam generators such as Superheaters, De-superheater, control of superheaters,
    Economizers, Air preheaters and re-heaters.

    1. Energy scenario in India

    India is both a major energy producer and consumer. India currently ranks as the world’s
    eleventh greatest energy producer, accounting for about 2.4% of the world’s total annual
    energy production, and as the world’s sixth greatest energy consumer, accounting for 3.3% of
    the world’s total annual energy consumption. Thus, India is a net energy importer, mostly due
    to the large imbalance between oil production and consumption.

    Table 1.1: Sector wise energy consumption


    Sector Energy consumption
    Industry 49%
    Transport 22%
    Residential 10%
    Agriculture 5%
    Others 14%

    Table 1.2: Electrical energy generation


    Resource Energy generation
    Thermal (Coal, Gas, Diesel) 64%
    Nuclear 3%
    Hydro 25%
    Renewable sources 8%

    Available energy resources:

    A. Conventional
    (i) Fossil fuel
    (ii) Hydro resources
    (iii) Nuclear resources
    B. Non-conventional
    (i) Wind energy
    (ii) Solar energy
    (iii) Biomass energy
    (iv) Geothermal resources
    (v) Ocean tidal energy
    (vi) Ocean wave and OTEC resources
    Need of energy:

    The energy need of a nation can be broadly divided into the following sectors:

    1. Domestic sector (houses, offices and commercial buildings)


    2. Transportation sector
    3. Agriculture sector
    4. Industry sector
    Consumption of energy in a country indicates increased activities in these sectors. This
    implies better comforts at home due to use of various appliances, better transport facilities,
    more agricultural and industrial production. Therefore, per capita energy consumption of a
    country is an index of the standard of living or prosperity of the people of the country.
    2. Types of fuel used
    a. Solid (Coal)
    b. Liquid (Oil)
    c. Gas (Natural gas)
    d. Nuclear fuel
    A. Based on Occurrence: B. Based on state
    Primary fuel Secondary fuel Solid Liquid Gas
    (Natuarl) (Artificial)
    Wood Gasoline
    Peat Diesel
    Lignite Kerosene
    Natural gas Coke gas
    Petroleum Blast furnace gas
