(EAI05) -POWER PLANT INSTRUMENTATION

Course Objectives:

Student will be able to 

1. 

Understand and analyze the process of power generation. Measurement and

controlling of different plant parameters.

2. 

Identify and innovate the techniques for improving plant efficiency.

3. 

To analyse and identify pollutants in flue gases and industrial wastegenerated during the process of power generation.

4. 

Innovate ideas to improve plant efficiency, reduce leakages and losses and

use technologies for designing and developing pollutant free industrial

environment.

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course, it is expected that students should

 be able to 1.

 

Acquire the knowledge of mathematics for deriving mathematical models

for different processes in the power plant.2.

 

Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for

industrial engineering practices.3.

 

Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within

realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,

ethical, health care and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.4.

 

Understand and standby the saying one watt saved is equal to two watts

generated.
