OP403 - Principles of Power Plant Thermodynamics
|
|
3 days - 1.9 Continuing Education Units Awarded
This course offers a basic study of the theories of thermodynamics as it applies to operating power plants. Discussion includes application to unit systems, heat transfer, and tables of properties. Emphasizes operational problem solving and the understanding of steam cycles throughout the power plant in relation to the principles of thermodynamics.
OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this Seminar the participant should be able to:
-
- Describe the Thermodynamic Laws as they apply to an operating power plant.
- Define the terms entropy, enthalpy, superheat, latent heat, and sensible heat.
- List the thermodynamic processes involved with each component in the power plant cycle.
- Of those thermodynamic processes listed above, describe the thermodynamic process and how it is reasonably controlled.
- Describe the natural limitations imposed upon power plant operation.
TOPICAL OUTLINE: Thermodynamic Properties, Temperature/Pressure Measurements, Energy, Work, Heat, Thermodynamic Systems and Process, 3-Phases of Water, Thermodynamic Laws, Power Plant Steam Cycle as a Application of Thermodynamics
