Abstract
–In a thermal power plant, one of the main parts is considered that is a condenser, which is used to condensate the low-pressure steam into a liquid state. In this, we use surface condenser type water-cooled condenser number of tubes used in circulating water for condensing of outlet turbine low-pressure steam into liquid. The circulating cooling water extracts the heat in the low-pressure heat steam and changes into warm water. The warm water is cooled by using cooling tower and again circulated to a condenser. Condenser outlet is condensate liquid. Then the condensate is again pumped and reuse to boiler this way we increase the whole performance and efficiency of the thermal power plant. The heat transfer between the water and steam is done by depending upon the heat transfer rate and thermal conductivity of the condenser tube. So we analysis the shell and tube type condenser with fluent software and also change the material of the condenser to get more heat transfer between the water and steam. At present cupronickel material is used the material have some drawbacks to fluid flow, so we analyze and use titanium material.
