1. Diesel engine : Diesel engine is a compression
ignition(CI) engine.The two –stroke cycle engine is more
favoured for diesel power plants.The air required for the diesel engine is
drawn through the air filter from theatmosphere and compressed inside the
cylinder.The fuel(diesel) from the diesel engine
is drawn through a filter from the all
day tank and inected into the cylinderthrough fuel inectors.
!ecause of the high temperature and
pressure of the compressed air" the fuel
ignites.

1. Diesel engine… The fuel #urns and the #urnt gases
e$pand to do work on the moving
part inside the cylinder called piston. This movement of the piston rotates a
flywheel and the engine is directly
coupled to electric generator. The gases after e$pansion inside the
cylinder is e$hausted into the
atmosphere and passes through a
silencer in order to reduce the noise.
2. Starting system: Diesel engine used in diesel power
plants is not self starting. The engine
is started from cold condition with
the help of an air compressor.

3. Fuel supply system: %uel from the storage tank is pumped
through a filter into a smaller tank
called all day tank. This tank supplies
the daily requirements of the diesel
engine.
The all day tank is placed high sothat the fuel flows to the engine
under gravity with sufficient
pressure.
4. Air intake system :
The air required for the com#ustionof fuel inside the diesel engine
cylinder is drawn through the air
filter. The purpose of the filter is to
remove dust from the incoming air.
The dry filter may #e made of
felt" wood or cloth.In wet filter" oil #ath is used.
In this the air passes over a
#ath of oil where the dust
particles get coated on the oil.

5. Exhaust system:
The e$haust gases coming out of the
engine is very noisy. In order to
reduce the noise a silencer(muffler) is
used.
6. !!ling system:
The temperature of the #urning fuelinside the engine cylinder is in the
order of &'C to C. In order
to lower this temperature water is
circulated around the engine.
The water envelopes(water acket)the engine. The heat from the
cylinder" piston" com#ustion cham#er
etc." is carried #y the circulating
water.
The hot water leaving the acket is
passed through the heat e$changer The heat from the heat e$changer
is carried away #y the raw water
circulated through the heat
e$changer and is cooled in the
cooling tower.

". #u$ri%ating system: This circuit includes lu#ricating oil
tank" oil pump and oil cooler. The purpose of the lu#rication system
is to reduce the wear of the engine
moving parts. *art of the cylinder
such as piston" shafts" valves must #e
lu#ricated. +u#rication also helps to cool the
engine. In the lu#rication system the oil is
pumped from the lu#ricating oil tank
through the oil cooler where the oil iscooled #y the cold water entering the
engine. The hot oil after cooling the moving
parts return to the lu#ricating oil
tank.

The amount of electricity that can #e generated #y a hydropower plant depends on two
factors
a& 'l!( rate / the quantity of water flowing in a given time0 and $& hea) / the height from which the water falls.
The greater the flow and head" the more electricity produced.

-hen more water flows through a tur#ine" more electricity can #e produced.
The flow rate depends on the si1e of the river and the amount of water flowing in it.
*ower production is considered to #e )ire%tly pr!p!rti!nal to river flow. That is" twice
as much water flowing will produce twice as much electricity.
a) Flow Rate = the quantity of water flowing

The farther the water falls" the more power it has. The higher the dam" the farther thewater falls" producing more hydroelectric power.
*ower production is also )ire%tly pr!p!rti!nal to head. That is" water falling twice as
far will produce twice as much electricity.
b) Head = the height from which water falls

It is important to note that when
determining head" hydrologists
take into account the pressure
