SYLLABUS:-
UNIT – I
Steam Generator Plant: Fuel handling systems, Indian coals, combustion of coal in furnaces; Elementary boilers- Cochran, Babcock & Wilcox. High pressure heavy duty boilers, Super critical and once through boilers layout of evaporator, super heater, re-heater and economizer; dust collectors; ash disposal, fans and draft systems, fluidized bed combustion;
UNIT – II
Steam Nozzles: Application of Nozzles. Types of Nozzles. Expansion of steam through a Nozzle. Effect of friction. Critical pressure ratio. Areas at Throat & Exit for maximum discharge conditions. Performance at off- design conditions.
Steam Turbines: Classification. Impulse and Reaction Turbines. Compounding of steam turbines. Velocity diagrams. Conditions for maximum efficiency.. Losses in steam turbines. Reheat Factor.
Turbine Plant: Feed water heaters-surface and de-aerator, construction of large condensers- zoning, air cooling zone. Calculations effect of air cooling on vacuum pump rating, cooling water systems and cooling towers Feed water treatment-make up and internal conditioning. Governing of steam turbine
UNIT – III
