Lectures

Goal

Reaching the competence and academic skills and methods for it's acquiring. Developing creative capabilities and mastering the specific practical skills. Goals determine the specific results which should be achieved within the subject. Goals also represent basis for control of the achieved results. Activities in this subject are in accordance with basic tasks and goals of the study program.

Outcome

After successfully completing the course, the students will be able to: • Calculate the material balance of the combustion process of solid fuels. • Choose the excess air and calculate the enthalpies of combustion products. • Choose the system of temperature control of a superheated vapor. • Select the fuel bed combustion systems. • Perform the preliminary thermal boiler calculation. • Get to know more about the plant by visiting the thermal power plant.

Theoretical teaching

Introduction; Solid fuels; Combustion material balance; Determination of excess air; Regulating the temperature of superheated steam - (Inherent regulation; Flue gas regulation; Steam regulation); Regulating the temperature of reheated steam; Apparatus for combustion of the opposite scheme - flat grate stoker; Apparatus for combustion of the cross scheme - chain and inclined grate stoker; Coal dust preparation systems; Devices for storage and transportation of coal; Mill constructions; Coal dust separators; Coal dust classifiers; Coal dust burners

Practical teaching

Auditory exercises consist of demonstration exercises (Classification and construction of steam boilers with appropriate heating surfaces, auxiliary devices and equipment); Steam boiler heat balance; Working project - Worikng principle of industrial steam boilers; Determining the losses, efficiency and fuel consumption of the given steam boiler; Furnace dimensioning; Heat and material balance of steam boiler heating surfaces; Making of the boiler draft.
