Abstract

Nishanth Valluru, Design of rankine - clausis steam cycles with the intermediate superheating of superheated steam and without this method of efficiency increasing Ostrava: VSB–Technical University of Ostrava, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Power Engineering, 2019, 109p. Supervisor: Ing. Zdeněk Šmida. My master thesis is focused on the industrial steam turbine with power output 65 MW. Theoretical part of the thesis is about steam turbines, their distribution and cooperating in Rc cycle. The last chapter of the theoretical part is focused on different ways of increasing the thermal efficiency of this cycle. The practical part consists of heat cycles design with and without steam reheating, comparison with steam consumption and thermal efficiency. In the next chapter, I described the changes in electric power and thermal efficiency depends on different input parameters. The main topic of the last chapter is about the production of power in India. The large content of electricity is produced from thermal power in India. Also the history of the production of electricity in India.
