Learning objectives
Steam and gas turbines produce at this moment the biggest part of world's electricity. During this course the student improves his/her knowledge in area of steam and gas turbines and gets to know the auxiliary processes of power plant. After this course the student knows steam and gas turbine structures and operational differences. Student also understands flow dynamic problems that appear in steam and gas turbines and know ways how to try to solve and decrease effects of these kind of problems. Student can calculate basic calculations concerning gas and steam turbines and compressing air as well as basic calculations to find out steam and gas turbines' power and efficiency. Student also understands auxiliary devices and processes that are a part of functioning steam and gas turbine system.
