Course content

1 section • 6 lectures • 1h 58m total length

Introduction14:24
Learn the fundamentals of gas turbine power plants, including open and closed cycle configurations, their main components (compressor, combustion chamber, turbine), and cycle merits and demerits.
Bryton Cycle, Merits and Demerits, Thermal Efficiency of Gas Power Plant18:40
Explore the Brayton cycle in gas turbine power plants, detailing merits and demerits, open vs closed loop configurations, and efficiency gains via intercooling, reheating, and regeneration from 20–30% toward 45%.
Derivations12:56
Explore how maximum temperature affects work ratio and cycle efficiency, optimize pressure for maximum network, and determine the intermediate temperature for optimum work and maximum work output.
Regeneration15:35
Explore regeneration in gas turbines: use exhaust heat to preheat air, improve thermal efficiency, and evaluate regenerator effectiveness, pressure ratios, and turbine temperatures.
Intercooling and Reheat28:15
The lecture explains intercooling and reheating in gas turbine cycles, showing how multi-stage compression with intercoolers lowers compression work and how reheating and regeneration improve turbine output and efficiency.
Numericals on Gas Turbine Power Plant28:22
Learn the gas turbine Brayton cycle fundamentals, including compressor and turbine roles, pressure ratios, and temperature limits. Explore calculating cycle efficiency, heat transfer, and net work with regeneration and reheat.

Requirements

Mechanical Engineering Senior Students with Knowledge of Basics of Mechanical Engineering Subjects particularly Thermodynamics

Description

The said Course is a part of Subject Energy Engineering for BE (Mechanical) Students and Third Year students in some universities, also beneficial to Diploma (Mech) students. In this course Unit-4 part-B Gas Turbine Power Plant is explained in detail with help of 6 video Lectures and resource files. Actually there are two more lectures on Gas Turbine plant but due to time constraint it will be added in next course.

Gas turbine Power plant topic / syllabus is very vast and vital also. The course topics are hence trimmed to fit in the time slot. The course comprises of

1. Introduction and Importance of Gas Turbine Power Plant

2. Gas turbine types, components, types, merits and Demerits.

3. Ideal and Actual Brayton Cycle

4. Thermal Efficiency of Gas Power Plant

5. Some Derivations related to Gas Turbine Power Plant

6. Numericals on Gas Turbine Power Plant

The Course is explained as per syllabus and keeping in mind the questions and numericals to be asked in the examinations. Exam Questions are explained in Lect no.8 and will be discussed in next course.

So watch the video lectures / resource files to get confidence in the topic and to score nicely. Thanks for watching and Best of Luck. One request to you all to provide feed back and reviews after completion of the course. Any Suggestion are welcome always.

Who this course is for:

Final Year Mechanical Engineering Students , TE Mechanical Students, Diploma Students
