MCL822: Steam and Gas Turbines : Introduction Wish You A Happy New Year 2016!!!! P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi Creation and Design of Strong & Enduring Non-Biological Muscle…… The One & Only Device, which achieved a Tremendous Growth Witnessed by the Inventor
An Engineering Domination to Natural Experts High Torque
An Engineering Domination to Natural Experts Flying Faster
Development of A Sustainable Non-Biological Beast • The steam Power Plant is the largest non-biological beast. • Supersonic Plane is the fastest non-biological bird. • Needs an elaborate anatomy for efficient conversion of chemical power into Mechanical Power. • The steam generator/combustor is the digestion system of this beast. • The steam turbine/gas turbine is the Muscle system of this beast. • An essential requirement for human development.
An Invention that Made Electricity Very Cheap • The modern steam turbine was invented in 1884 by the Englishman Sir Charles Parsons. • The first model was connected to a dynamo that generated 7.5 kW (10 hp) of electricity. • The invention of Parson's steam turbine made cheap and plentiful electricity possible and revolutionized marine transport and naval warfare. • His patent was licensed and the turbine scaled-up shortly after by an American, George Westinghouse. • The Parson's turbine also turned out to be easy to scale up.
A Device Easy to Scale up • Parsons had the satisfaction of seeing his invention adopted for all major world power stations, and the size of generators had increased from his first 7.5 kW set up to units of 50,000 kW capacity. • Within Parson's lifetime the generating capacity of a unit was scaled up by about 10,000 times. • The total output from turbo-generators constructed by his firm C. A. Parsons and Company and by their licensees, for land purposes alone, had exceeded thirty million horse-power.
The Philosophy of Power Generation …. Why do Humans (only) are in need of Power? To Develop While Saving the Planet? Good Result: Growth of Civilization…. Bad Result : Environmental Degradation ….
Which planet is mostly made of carbon dioxide? • Venus has the most massive atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, which include Mercury, Earth, and Mars. • Its gaseous envelope is composed of more than 96 percent carbon dioxide and 3.5 percent molecular nitrogen. • 650 000 years of earth history shows not more than 400 ppm. • Creation of life on earth controlled the CO2 levels on earth. • Extra-somatic needs of humans enhanced the CO2 levels on earth.
Important Law of Nature for Developing Sustainable Ideas • Matter cycles in regions of energy flow; such cycles, visible in natural complex structures, including those of life, occur as limited material resources scramble to provide a vehicle for entropy export. • {Schneider & Sagan, 2005}
Thermodynamic Superiority of Human Invented Power Generation ….A way of Reducing Rate of Entropy Generation on Earth…… Are These Vehicles Immortal?
