Anotace

The course builds upon prior knowledge in thermomechanics, physics, and fluid mechanics and further develops it in application to steam turbines as key components of thermal power cycles. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles of the Rankine–Clausius cycle, methods for improving its efficiency, and the physical nature of converting the working fluid enthalpy into mechanical work within individual turbine stages. They become familiar with the structural arrangement of steam turbines, their classification, control elements, and their function within various power plant configurations.

After completing the course, students explain the thermodynamic principles of the steam cycle and the energy processes occurring within the turbine and are able to describe them using fundamental calculation models. They are capable of performing calculations of the steam cycle both without and with selected efficiency-enhancing methods, assessing the degree of energy dissipation in real steam expansion processes, and interpreting the influence of design solutions on operational parameters. They can also explain the principles of power control, the function of valves and sealing systems, and place their significance within a broader technical, economic, and environmental context.

The acquired knowledge and skills provide a solid foundation for further study of thermal energy systems and enable students to competently orient themselves in the design, operation, and optimization of steam turbines in conventional and nuclear power engineering.
