Subject syllabus

1. Thermal cycles of steam turbines - R-C cycle.
2. Thermal cycles of steam turbines the calculation of the thermal cycle, the definition of the direct efficiency and the comparing efficiency.
3. Thermal cycles of steam turbines - Carnotization of steam cycles by the change of the pressure in the condenser, by the change of the admission steam parameters.
4. Thermal cycles of steam turbines - Carnotization of steam cycles by the regeneration of the feeding water and by the intermediate superheating of superheated steam.
5. Types of steam turbines - the condensing turbine, the backpressure turbine and the extracting turbine.
6. The working process of the ideal and the actual steam turbine in the temperature-entropy (T-s) and the enthalpy-entropy (i-s) diagram. The expansion curve. Euler´s turbine equation.
7. Types of axial turbine stages - the reaction stage, the 2D bladed grid, u/c1, the max. enthalpy difference.
8. Types of axial turbine stages - the action stage, the 2D bladed grid, u/c1, the max. enthalpy difference.
9. Types of axial turbine stages - the Curtis stage, the 2D bladed grid, u/c1, the max. enthalpy difference.
10. Types of turbine stages - radial steam turbines - the main turbine equation, velocity triangles.
11. Accessories R-C steam cycle and steam turbines - the additional machine devices - I.
12. Accessories R-C steam cycle and steam turbines - the additional machine devices - II.
13. Regulation and control of steam turbines performance.
14. Practical operation of steam turbines - the expert from practice.

E-learning

All study materials (lectures, exercises, etc.) are available to students in a group on the MS Teams platform, which is always created for them before the start of the semester. Students will be added to the group by the teacher. Students will receive a direct link to the group by email.
