The course begins with a historical and descriptive introduction to boiler systems. Development and configurations of different boiler systems are described including fossil, co-generation/HRSG and nuclear reactors. Complex Rankine cycles are evaluated as well as calculation of steam plant efficiencies through Energy and Exergy analysis. Chemical treatments for various systems to mitigate and prevent corrosion are described. The course requires background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Prerequisites: CHE 2012 and CHE 2703 or equivalents.
