85C H A P T E R 3 FUELS AND Introduction to CombustionCombustion BasicsThe last chapter set forth the basics of the Rankine cycle and the principles of operationof steam cycles of modern steam power plants. An important aspect of powergeneration involves the supply of heat to the working fluid, which in the case of steampower usually means turning liquid water into superheated steam. This heat comes froman energy source. With the exception of nuclear and solar power and a few other exoticsources, most power plants are driven by a chemical reaction called COMBUSTION , whichusually involves sources that are compounds of hydrogen and carbon.
