OBJECTIVES:
Providing an overview of Power Plants and detailing the role of Mechanical Engineers in their
operation and maintenance.
UNIT I COAL BASED THERMAL POWER PLANTS 10
Rankine cycle - improvisations, Layout of modern coal power plant, Super Critical Boilers, FBC
Boilers, Turbines, Condensers, Steam & Heat rate, Subsystems of thermal power plants – Fuel and
ash handling, Draught system, Feed water treatment. Binary Cycles and Cogeneration systems.
UNIT II DIESEL, GAS TURBINE AND COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANTS 10
Otto, Diesel, Dual & Brayton Cycle - Analysis & Optimisation. Components of Diesel and Gas Turbine power plants. Combined Cycle Power Plants. Integrated Gasifier based Combined Cycle systems.
UNIT III NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS 7
Basics of Nuclear Engineering, Layout and subsystems of Nuclear Power Plants, Working of Nuclear
Reactors : Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), CANada Deuterium-
Uranium reactor (CANDU), Breeder, Gas Cooled and Liquid Metal Cooled Reactors. Safety measures for Nuclear Power plants.
UNIT IV POWER FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY 10
Hydro Electric Power Plants – Classification, Typical Layout and associated components including
Turbines. Principle, Construction and working of Wind, Tidal, Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV), Solar
Thermal, Geo Thermal, Biogas and Fuel Cell power systems.
UNIT V ENERGY, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OF POWER PLANTS 8
Power tariff types, Load distribution parameters, load curve, Comparison of site selection criteria,
relative merits & demerits, Capital & Operating Cost of different power plants. Pollution control
technologies including Waste Disposal Options for Coal and Nuclear Power Plants.
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of this course, the Students can able to understand different types of power
plant, and its functions and their flow lines and issues related to them.
Analyse and solve energy and economic related issues in power sectors.
