This document gives specific details regarding the course.

Course No. : MEE 412

Course Title : Power Plant Engg
Course Coordinator : KK Dubey
Instructor-in-Charge : KK Dubey

Course Description:
Power Plant engineering course is concerned with the types, construction, working principles and
performance of various conventional and non conventional power plants. This course covers the design,
construction, operations and performance of various components of steam, gas turbine, nuclear, hydral
and diesel power plants. The course also focus on various sub components of power plants, such as steam
generators, condensers, cooling towers, fuel and air handling system, super-heaters, inter-coolers, re-
heaters and waste handling systems; to have a proper understanding. This course also discusses the Steam
power plant in detail as 60% of total energy produced in world are generated by thermal power plants.
The syllabus also covers nuclear power plant in detail which is a need of current scenario .

Scope & Objective:

The scope of the course primarily spans the fundamentals of power generations and employment
of new techniques of power plant heat recovery.
The objective of the course is as follows:
1. To teach students about the working of various power generation Modules and steam cycles.
2. To introduce students to steam generators, combustion and firing methods in order to make the fullest
use of thermal power potentialities of the country.
3. To enable students understand in detail about nuclear, gas turbine, hydro and diesel power plants
which play an important role in power generation.
