Steam Turbines (FSI-LPA)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jan Fiedler, Dr.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with a conceptual design, detailed calculation of partial components as well as detailed construction solution of both large and small steam turbines.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will learn to choose and design a concept of steam turbine with its auxiliary equipment, to perform thermodynamic calculation including optimization of thermal design with regard to the construction and strength criterions.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge from courses Energy Sources and Transformation, Turbomachinery and Thermal Turbines and Turbo-Compressor.
Course contents:
The course deepens the knowledge of physical phenomena and processes during transformation of thermal or pressure energy into mechanical energy in thermal turbines gained mainly in the courses Turbomachinery and Thermal Turbines and Turbocompressor. Students will learn to design steam turbine and its components from the determination of basic parameters and conception through the detailed thermodynamic calculation of partial components and determination of the basic dimensions design. Students will learn to combine energy, technical, operational, economic and environmental requirements for construction design.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught in the form of lectures that have the character of explaining basic principles and theory of the mentioned discipline. Seminars are focused on practical handling topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Credit requirements: active participation in seminars, submission of given project according to the set deadline
Exam requirements: written part in the form of questions and numerical problems, oral part in the form of discussion on given topic
