EPG006
Course Name:
 
Applied Thermodynamics (QUT)
Course Description:
 
Many power station plant processes involve movement of heat from one component to another. This might be for the generation process itself, or simply maintaining equipment within operating temperature limits. It is important therefore, to identify changes, and measure and manage heat transfer across these processes which are crucial for the effective and efficient operation of generating plant. Thermodynamics is used to provide an indication of a component’s change. This will indicate early warnings of efficiency and potential failure. The heat produced by the boiler in a power station is delivered to the turbine. Any heat not extracted from the steam by the turbine is then discharged to the atmosphere through the cooling towers. This unit considers ways of effectively moving the heat generated in the various processes in the power station plant, and extracting that heat to produce electricity.
