1.	What is the primary objective of a steam power plant?(a) To convert one form of energy into another form(b) To produce electricity(c) To provide employment(d) To serve as a base load plant to hydel plant or nuclear plantI got this question in final exam.Enquiry is from Necessity of a Steam Plant in section Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering
Answer» Correct option is (b) To produce electricity To explain I would say: The primary objective of the steam power PLANT is to produce electricity and then SERVING as base load plant to hydel or nuclear power plant comes as SECOND PRIORITY. Steam power plants produce 86% of electricity. And the EFFICIENCY of steam power plant is typically 33%-48%.
