A steam power station basically works on the Rankine cycle. Steam is produced in the boiler by utilizing the heat of coal combustion. The steam is then expanded in the prime mover (i.e., steam turbine) and is condensed in a condenser to be fed into the boiler again. The steam turbine drives the alternator which converts mechanical …

into mechanical energy. ey are also called turbines or engines. e fossil fuels commonly used in prime movers are coal, gas, oil, and nuclear fuel. Essentially, the fossil fuel is burned in a combustor and thus thermal energy is produced. ermal energy is then taken by a working uid and converted into mechanical energy in the prime mover itself.

Coal texture is representative of coal mechanical strength, which is important not only for evaluating coal reservoir permeability but also for evaluating the possibility of coal and gas outbursts in underground coal mining (Fu et al., 2009a; Li, 2001; Li et al., 2012; Meng et al., 2011a,b; Pan et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2013). Coal texture ...
