Thermodynamic analysis of a coalfired power plant
#0183;#32;India has huge coal reserves, about per cent of the worlds total [] and thus the coalbased thermal power plants dominate the sourcewise mix with per cent of the total installed capacity of about 174 GWe [].Due to the energy shortage of per cent [], a large number of old coalfired units are still in use, operating on much lower plant efficiencies compared with their design values.
