The diagram illustrates how electricity is produced using a water reactor.
As the picture suggests, there are 2 main cycles in the process, each of which involves the usage of water, and both of them intersect at a steam generator.
Observing closely to the first cycle, water is stored inside a container that is covered with a protective insulation. The liquid next flows through a pipe to reach a steam producer while being heated and pressurized. Once the water arrives at the generator, it continually travels inside a spiral-shaped tube, making the gas to vaporize. As soon as the liquid reaches the bottom of the air generator, it returns to its initial reactor through another pipeline controlled by a pump.
Turning to the second cycle, the formed steam moves inside a pipe that leads to a turbine-producer. Upon the air’s arrival, the turbines are activated and start producing electricity, which is then transported to a switch area. Following this, the electricity travels through power lines that are connected to the switch, distributing this energy to various places like houses, stores, and factories. As for the steam, after fulfilling its purpose, it is reused by being liquefied and sent back to the gas generator through a pump-attached tube.
