&hi# huge annual growth of :ndian Power Sector along with technological ad0ancement# and
#o-hi#tication during la#t few decade# ha#/ in turn/ been demanding man -ower with a under#tanding of 0ariou#
com-onent# of -ower -lant#2
Objective: &o introduce #tudent# to the 0ariou# com-onent# of -ower -lant# and the related thermal and
economical tool# for effecti0e engineering analy#i# of #uch -lant#2
By end of the course, students will be able to:

@2 S.etch ty-ical #ub#y#tem# of a -ower -lant (e7am-le: #.etch the coal and a#h handling #y#tem"
B2 Perform ba#ic analy#e# a##ociated with each #ub#y#tem
)2 S.etch the flow of water1#team/ fuel/ and air through a -lant
;2 *naly9e a heat balance/ -erform an a0ailability analy#i#/ and inter-ret the re#ult# of tho#e analy#e#
82 Select the ty-e of -lant a--ro-riate for a gi0en a--lication
