Energy System Analysis and Design

Catalog description

Fundamentals of planning and design of thermal power plants. Detailed design and performance characteristics of power plant subsystems, i.e., turbines, steam condensers, feed water heaters, boiler plant pumps, steam generators, boiler fans, piping design, cooling water systems, water treatment. System analysis based on First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics toward optimization of power generation. Advanced (optimized) energy conversion cycles with energy/ energy flows. Students are required to complete a design project of a thermal power plant and submit a report with complete system analysis, heat balance diagrams, major system/ subsystem and piping drawing. Students will prepare proposals to design an entire Energy System.
