A nuclear reactor is a type of marine power plant that uses the heat energy released from nuclear fission to generate steam, which drives a turbine to produce electricity.

The primary function of a condenser in a marine steam turbine power plant is to cool the steam exiting the turbine, converting it back into water and creating a low-pressure region that helps draw more steam through the turbine.

A reduction gear in a marine propulsion system is used to decrease the speed of the engine or turbine to a level suitable for driving the propeller efficiently.

A diesel engine is a type of marine power plant that directly converts chemical energy stored in diesel fuel into mechanical energy through the combustion process, without the need for a boiler to generate steam.

The primary fuel used in a gas turbine marine power plant is natural gas, which is burned in a combustion chamber to generate hot gases that drive the turbine.

A turbocharger in a marine diesel engine is used to increase the air pressure entering the engine, resulting in more efficient combustion and increased power output.

The turbine in a marine steam turbine power plant is responsible for converting the thermal energy of steam into mechanical energy through the rotation of its blades.

The propeller in a marine propulsion system is responsible for converting the rotational motion of the engine or turbine into thrust, propelling the ship through the water.

A tidal turbine is a type of marine power plant that harnesses the energy of moving water during tides to generate electricity.

The primary function of a boiler in a marine steam turbine power plant is to generate steam by heating water using a heat source, such as burning fuel.

In a marine diesel engine, the injector is responsible for spraying fuel into the combustion chamber, where it mixes with air and is ignited by the heat of compression.

A governor in a marine diesel engine is used to control the engine speed by adjusting the fuel supply, preventing overspeeding and ensuring optimal performance.

A wave energy converter is a type of marine power plant that harnesses the energy of waves to generate electricity.

The primary function of a generator in a marine power plant is to convert mechanical energy from the engine or turbine into electrical energy.

An ocean current turbine is a type of marine power plant that harnesses the energy of ocean currents to generate electricity.
