| Learning Outcome: | The objective of this course is to make students learn about various power generation processes and technologies. The course will cover the fundamental thermodynamic power cycles viz. Rankine cycle, Brayton cycle and various ways to improve cycle efficiency and associated practical challenges. With this theoretical foundation of power generation technologies, further instructions will be focused on fuels and combustion systems and the environmental impacts originating from power plant emissions and their mitigation strategies.Students will be able to develop theoretical and practical understanding of the power generation by various energy sources. They will be able to comprehend physical processes, operating principle and design of conventional and renewable power plants. |
