Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
In a thermal power plants, pressure in the working fluid cycle is developed by:
- Super heater
- Feed water pump
- Condenser
- Turbine
Correct answer: 2. Feed water pump
Explanation: The feed water pump is responsible for pumping water from a condensate system or a deaerator into the boiler, maintaining the pressure required for the boiler to operate efficiently. It increases the pressure of the water to the level needed for it to enter the boiler and be converted into steam.
