Accepted Answer

A boiler and power plant scheme diagram and working

A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated to generate steam
The steam produced is used for various purposes such as power generation or heating
A power plant consists of various components including boilers, turbines, generators, and condensers
The boiler heats the water using fuel or electricity, converting it into steam
The steam then passes through a turbine, causing it to rotate and generate mechanical energy
The mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by the generator
The steam, after passing through the turbine, is condensed back into water in the condenser
The condensed water is then pumped back into the boiler to be heated again
This cycle continues to generate continuous power
Example: In a coal-fired power plant, coal is burned in the boiler to produce steam, which drives the turbine and generates electricity
