Abstract- A thermal power station works on the principle that heat is released by burning fuel which produces (working fluid) (steam) from water. The steam so produced runs the turbine coupled to generator which produces electrical energy. A working fluid goes through a repetitive cycle change and this cyclic change involving heat and work is known as thermodynamic cycle. Thus, a thermodynamic cycle is a series of operations, involving a heat source, a heat receiver, a machine and w working substance. Thermal power plants contribute maximum to the generation of power for any country.
