Dear students welcome again to the next course of Energy Engineering Based on Diesel and Gas Power Plant topic. I already have covered three units of Eneergy Engineering subject and today we are discussing on unit-4 Topic i.e. Diesel and Gas Power Plants.
Brief about me. Myself B.S. Racheti , (ME(Mech), MBA(HR) and Energy Auditor .
I have passion of teaching and hence trying to share my knowledge to the needy students. Lot of time is required for preparation of notes for assignments and also for final exams. So students always under pressure of studies and they feel difficult to cope with all these things, therefore they get very short time for preparation for examination and fear of getting less score in the subjects. In view of this, I have prepared video lectures and resource files with the aid of various books, references, web sites and self knowledge in such a way that Students can prepare for exam with very less time and gain lot of confidence and they can get spare time and can utilize the same for other subjects. It's an important year for them and hence this little effort from my side. Hope you all will do well in exam and best wishes. Thanks for going through.
So contents of this course are as below:
Unit 4: Diesel and Gas Turbine Power plant syllabus contents
A) Diesel Power Plants : applications, components of DPP, different systems of DPP, plant layout, performance of DPP (Numerical Treatment) advantages & disadvantages of diesel power plant, environmental impacts of DPP
B) Gas Turbine Power Plant : general layout of GTPP, components of GTPP, open, closed & semi-closed cycle gas turbine plant, Brayton cycle analysis for thermal efficiency, work ratio, maximum & optimum pressure ratio, methods to improve thermal efficiency of GTPP: inter-cooling; reheating & regeneration cycle (numerical treatment), gas and steam turbine combined cycle plant, environmental impacts of GTPP
Ok. Let us start with Diesel Power Plant first.
Learner will be able to
1. Understand the concepts of Diesel and Gas turbine power plant.
2. Know the importance of these energy conversion units in day day life.
3. Get idea about various types of Power plants, their merits and demerits.
4. Solve the numericals based on Gas Power plant.
5. Get the concept and need of Co-Generation power plants.
