Course Content / Syllabus

Lectures: Water vaporization, steam boilers (classification, description, operational characteristics). Combustion and related calculations in steam boilers, dew point of flue gases, fuels, burners and combustion systems (for compatible solid, liquid or gas fuels). Energy calculations of a steam boiler, efficiency, heat losses. Main systems (vaporizator, superheater, reheaters, preheaters) and auxiliary systems (pumps, fans, elements of steam network, instruments for monitoring, safety, control, measurement) of steam boilers. Boiler maintenance and water processing issues. Energy production by means of steam turbines, ideal and real Rankine cycles, modifications of Rankine cycle for efficiency enhancement, reference to alternative cycles (e.g. Binary and Organic Rankine Cycles). Classification and characteristics of steam turbines, condensers, cooling towers, energy calculations. Thermal efficiency of a steam boiler-turbine plant. Matching and cooperation of steam boiler and steam turbine. Load control, operation in partial loads. Applications of steam boilers and steam turbines in Marine Engineering (Marine boilers, energy systems in ships, cogeneration, combined cycle).
