MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043704 A) filed by Srm Valliammai Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 6, for 'design of steam power plant prototype.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. G. Ananth; Mr. S. Aakash; Mr. S. Akash; Mr. R. Athithiy A; and Mr. K. Lokesh.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This project presents the design and development of a steam power plant prototype for demonstrating the principles of thermal power generation. The system is designed to convert heat energy into mechanical and electrical energy using steam as the working medium. The prototype includes key components such as a boiler, turbine, condenser, pressure gauge, and generator, all integrated into a compact structure. The boiler is used to heat water and produce high-pressure steam, which is directed towards the turbine. The steam energy rotates the turbine blades, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The turbine shaft is connected to a dynamo generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy for practical demonstration purposes. The model is designed with a focus on simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and educational usability. It provides a clear understanding of energy conversion processes, system efficiency, and the working of steam-based power generation systems. Overall, the developed system is compact, economical, and suitable for academic demonstrations. It serves as an effective learning tool for students to understand the fundamentals of thermodynamics and power plant engineering."
