Can steam power plant work with a compressor instead of condenser and heat pump?
ANSWER:
We want to reduce power consumption by removing condenser and pump and throw the output of turbine direct to boiler and then provide less energy to convert vapors into super heated state. This looks quite possible however it is not the case this is because the output of turbine in mixture of vapors and liquid and we are not able to move mixture from one place to another. This is because cavitation would occur inside pump or compressor and will lead to damaging of our instrument. So first mixture is converted into liquid then pumped to boiler.
