NUCL 5250G - Power Plant Thermodynamics


This course presents the theoretical and practical analysis of the following, with the particular reference to modern advanced nuclear-power reactors / plants and Generation-IV concepts of nuclear-power reactors / plants. Thermodynamic Cycles include: (1) Modern advanced combined cycles and subcritical- and supercritical-pressure Rankine cycles of various options used in thermal-power industry; (2) Modern subcritical-pressure Rankine cycles of various options used in nuclear-power industry; and (3) Future advanced combined cycles and subcritical- and supercritical-pressure Rankine cycles of various options proposed to be used in the nearest future with the deployment of Generation-IV nuclear-power reactors. Description of power cycles includes: Their layouts, major equipment, T-s diagrams, cycle efficiency; turbine configurations, etc.
Credit hours: 3
