Need Power Plant Steam Cycle Presentation
Need Power Plant Steam Cycle Presentation
(OP)
I have been tasked with updating a presentation that is currently used to train power plant operators. The current presentation does a good job of showing how steam flows through the different levels of a boiler and turbine (i.e. superheat panels, finishing panels, condensor etc.) What I am looking for is a website, book, etc. that mathematically shows how the steam changes state and energy throughout the entire cycle. I am looking at textbooks, but thought there might be something all ready put together that is available. The goal of this is to increase the level of the control operators understanding of how temperature and pressure changes of steam can effect the efficiency of work done by the boiler and turbine.
Thanks for the help

They sell software such as PEPSE and PMAX that are used for power plant control and optimization. I ahve a plant heat balance that shows temperature, pressure, flowrate, and enthanlpy at each piece of equipment in the palnt.

I suggest using a Mollier diagram and draw lines between the respective pressure/temperature points emphasizing the slope of the expansion line explaining that this represents efficiency. That way they can see graphically that there is a difference without having to go through Thermo 101.
