COURSE OUTLINE :
This course deals with steam power plants. One part of the course is about Simple steam power
cycle, reheat, regeneration and superheating. Further actual cycle with component efficiencies would
also be discussed. Then each component of the plant is discussed in detail. Initially, types of steam
generators and their parts are highlighted. Then steam turbine, its type, efficiency and arrangements are
focused. Thus this course would provide an understanding on electricity generation or transportation
application using steam as working medium.
