Synopsis of Course Contents The curriculum for this course is divided into two major parts; (a) Steam
Power Plants (b) Other Power Plants.

Part (a) : Discussions concentrate on the economics of power generations,
the conceptual design of power plants including revision of steam cycles ,
combined cycle for power generation; and the components of power plants
such as steam generators, steam turbines, condenser, feedwater and circu-
lating water systems.

Part (b) : Discussion on details of the components of power plants such as
steam generators, steam turbines, condenser, feedwater and circulating
water systems.

Part (c) : Introduction on power plants based on nuclear, hydroelectric, gas
and diesel with discussions on the systems and their advantages and dis-
advantages. Explanations on specific components that required for each
system is carried at the end of each chapter.
