Main themes Vapour power plants Gas turbines Combined cycles Cogeneration Refrigerating plant
Aims Specialised training in thermal cycles, with the view to provide students knowledge and skills required for the conception of thermodynamics systems, as well as the quantitative evaluation and critic of these
Content Characterization of energetic performances of cyclic heat power plants. Exergy concept and its application to cyclic transformations. Exergetic approach of combustion. Energetic and exergetic analysis of vapour power plant. Energetic and exergetic analysis of gas turbine plant. Energetic and exergetic analysis of combined cycles. Cogeneration : energetic and exergetic approach. Energetic and exergetic analysis of simple refrigeration plant.
