This class is intened for the engineering graduates who have Thermal Engineering II as a subject. This covers steam turbines cycles right from nozzles to types of steam turbines and their cycles.
Nozzles and Jet propulsion which incules types of nozzles, critical pressure ratio, physical significance of critical pressur ratio, maximum mass flow, nozzle effficiency, expressions for critical pressures of steam nozzles, Super saturation. Concepts, studying the expressions, their derivations and solving the numerical for better understanding.
Rotodynamic machineries which includes impluse turbine, reaction turbine, Velocity triangles, pressure compounding, velocity compounding, Turbine blade height, Axial flow reaction turbine, overall efficiency, stage efficiency and reheat factor. Basic concepts, understanding the expressions involved and their derivation, solving numerials of each category for better understanding the concepts
Steam cycles which includes Rankine cycle, enthalpy entropy chart, right from feed water pump, boiler preheating, superheating and workdone in turbine, condensrs and then back to feed water pump, Rankine cycle with super heat, the reheat cycle, the regenerative cycle - basic concepts, expressions derivations and solving numerials for better understandng.
