Modern fossil-fueled boilers in power plants produce steam at about $550^{circ} mat{C}$ and 200 bar. The steam flows along steam lines to turbines for the generation of electrical power. These steam lines are insulated to reduce heat loss to the ambient air and to prevent skin burns due to accidental contact.
Read MoreA steam power plant comprises of a boiler, low- and high- pressure turbines, a condenser, and a pump, operates on a simple Reheat Rankine Cycle generating a net power output of 590 MW. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 17.5 MPa and 900°C and leaves at 750°C. The steam is then reheated to 900°C and enters the low-pressure turbine at 5
