2. Steam generator (nuclear power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(nuclear...

   A steam generator (aka nuclear steam raising plant ('NSRP')) is a heat exchanger used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core. They are used in pressurized water reactor between the primary and secondary coolant loops. In typical PWR designs, the primary coolant is high-purity water, kept under high pressure so ...

3. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

4. Steam turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine

   Steam turbine. The rotor of a modern steam turbine used in a power plant. A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Charles Parsons in 1884.

5. Steam-electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam-electric_power_station

   The steam-electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of steam-electric power plants is ...

6. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

   A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

7. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   Boiler (power generation) An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine. A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low ...

8. Heat recovery steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_steam_generator

   Heat recovery steam generator. A heat recovery steam generator ( HRSG) is an energy recovery heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream, such as a combustion turbine or other waste gas stream. It produces steam that can be used in a process ( cogeneration) or used to drive a steam turbine ( combined cycle ).

9. Supercritical steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_steam_generator

   A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power . In contrast to a subcritical boiler in which steam bubbles form, a supercritical steam generator operates above the critical pressure – 22 megapascals (3,200 psi) and temperature ...
