Abstract
The researchers focus on eco-friendly and economy of power generation in the thermal power plants. The system-wise analysis will help to find the way to economic power generation. This research focuses the hopper heating concern. Usually, the electric heating is employed to maintaining the hopper as warm to avoid distraction in the flow of ash. The research argues the feasibility of steam heating in the view of waste heat recovery. A new kind of hopper was designed, and its prototype was fabricated, tested and analysed. The qualitative and quantitative benefits of proposed system were discussed. The proposed system, irrespective of climatic changes, works well.
