Abstract

A steam power plant is a power production system that uses water as a working fluid to transform chemical energy into electrical energy. This STEAM POWER PLANT prototype is a power plant that uses linked equipment (components) such as boilers, compress cylinders, flywheel, generator, and load. A structural and functional approach was used in the investigation. Water is poured into the boiler and heated until it becomes steam. And the steam is channelled to the iron pipe by opening the boiler valve, then pressurized steam enters through the compress cylinder valve so that the compress cylinder moves and rotates the flywheel, then the pulley connected to the flywheel then also rotate and be connected to the generator via the van belt, so that the generator rotates causes the generator to work converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, to see changes in rotation, load vale to operate a compression cylinder without load, a pressure of 20 psi with a rotation of 466 rpm at a steam temperature of 113oC is required and takes 25 minutes to warm up.
