 Mech 4-1 POWER PLANT ENGINEERING Important Topics Questions

Course Objectives: 

1) To learn the working of different components of the steam power plant. 
2) To learn the components of the diesel and gas power plants. 
3) To learn the different elements in the hydroelectric and nuclear power plants. 
4) To learn the basic concepts for power production in combined plants and usage of 
different instrument to measure the operating parameters of the power plant. 
5) To learn the concepts of power plant economics and pollution standards to be observed in 
the power plants. 

UNIT– I: 

STEAM POWER PLANT: Plant layout, working of different circuits, fuel and handling 
equipments, types of coals, coal handling, choice of handling equipment, coal storage, ash handling 
systems. Combustion: properties of coal – overfeed and underfeed fuel beds, traveling grate stokers, 
spreader stokers, retort stokers, pulverized fuel burning system and its components, combustion 
needs and draught system, cyclone furnace, design and construction, dust collectors, cooling towers 
and heat rejection, corrosion and feed water treatment. 

UNIT– II: 

INTERNAL COMBUSTION AND GAS TURBINE POWER PLANTS: 
DIESEL POWER PLANT: Plant layout with auxiliaries – fuel supply system, air starting 
equipment, super charging. 
GAS TURBINE PLANT: Introduction – classification - construction – layout with auxiliaries, 
combined cycle power plants and comparison. 

UNIT– III: 

HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER PLANT: Water power – hydrological cycle / flow measurement –
drainage area characteristics – hydrographs – storage and pondage – classification of dams and spill 
ways. 
HYDRO PROJECTS AND PLANT: Classification – typical layouts – plant auxiliaries – plant 
operation pumped storage plants. 
NUCLEAR POWER STATION: Nuclear fuel – breeding and fertile materials – nuclear reactor –
reactor operation. 
TYPES OF REACTORS: Pressurized water reactor, boiling water reactor, sodium-graphite 
reactor, fast breeder reactor, homogeneous reactor, gas cooled reactor, radiation hazards and 
shielding – radioactive waste disposal.

UNIT– IV: 

COMBINED OPERATIONS OF DIFFERENT POWER PLANTS: Introduction, advantages of 
combined working, load division between power stations, storage type hydro-electric plant in 
combination with steam plant, run-of-river plant in combination with steam plant, pump storage 
plant in combination with steam or nuclear power plant, co-ordination of hydro-electric and gas 
turbine stations, co-ordination of hydro-electric and nuclear power stations, co-ordination of 
different types of power plants. 
POWER PLANT INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL: Importance of measurement and 
instrumentation in power plant, measurement of water purity, gas analysis, O2 and CO2
measurements, measurement of smoke and dust, measurement of moisture in carbon dioxide circuit, 
nuclear measurements.

UNIT– V: 

POWER PLANT ECONOMICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: Capital 
cost, investment of fixed charges, operating costs, general arrangement of power distribution, load 
curves, load duration curve, definitions of connected load, maximum demand, demand factor, 
average load, load factor, diversity factor – energy audit-related exercises. effluents from power 
plants and Impact on environment – pollutants and pollution standards – methods of pollution 
control.
