Steam Generation Syllabus of K.U (B.Tech Mechanical)

The document discusses steam generation and power systems. It is divided into 4 units. Unit 1 covers types of boilers, their components and accessories. Unit 2 discusses steam cycles like Rankine cycle and its variations. Unit 3 covers steam nozzles and condensers. Unit 4 is about steam turbines, including impulse, reaction, and impulse-reaction turbines. Key topics covered include boiler efficiency calculations, effects of operating parameters on Rankine cycle, components of steam condensing plants, velocity diagrams, and efficiency calculations for turbines.
