Difference between Boiler and Combined cycle

Boiler vs. Combined cycle

A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated. In electric power generation a combined cycle is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy, which in turn usually drives electrical generators.

Similarities between Boiler and Combined cycle

Boiler and Combined cycle have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Boiler, Boiling point, Coal, Combined cycle, Condenser (heat transfer), Flue gas, Gas turbine, Heat recovery steam generator, Live steam, Natural gas, Pump, Steam, Thermal power station.

Boiling point

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.

Condenser (heat transfer)

In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, by cooling it.

Flue gas

Flue gas is the gas exiting to the atmosphere via a flue, which is a pipe or channel for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator.

Natural gas

Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.
