Answer by mike1942f
is steam generator is a name for “steam power plant”? No – a steam generator can just be a device for making steam – like for cleaning grease off of metal parts. However, it can be a short hand term for a power plant that generates power by steam.
Components
A source for pure water
Something to make steam – fire from coal, oil, or gas or heat from nuclear power or hydrothermal wells
Turbines with blades to be spun by the steam to get mechanical movement
Generators to be turned by the turbine.
Some way of cooling the pure water so it can be reused if needed.
