3. Objective • Create a compact, portable steam power plant trainer that will aid in the understanding of the Rankine cycle and automated system control Goals • Fully automated system control • Rolling frame for ease of transport • Dimensions of 4x2x3.5 feet • Deliver the product complete with multiple lab experiments

4. Purpose • Many students find difficulty understanding thermodynamics without being able to apply theory to real world application • Steam power plants account for roughly 78% of the world’s electricity • Students will learn the automated control system and will obtain a working knowledge of how to check transducer readings

5. Online Survey • Using Survey Monkey • 110 respondents • 10 questions • Questions for graphical analysis: • What is your age? • What type of engineering degree do you have? • What is the highest level of school or degree you have completed? • Did you take thermodynamics? • If so, did it require a lab section? • Did your thermodynamics class/lab include steam power plant training station?
