Power Plant is very important for GATE and Indian Engineering Services Examination. This course includes two very important topics of power plant. i. e . Rankine cycle and Brayton cycle. In Rankine cycle, all important sub topics are covered like difference between carnot cycle and rankine cycle, methods of improving efficency, reheating, regeneration and numericals as well. Numericals play a very important role in these exams. The numericals are explained in a very easy and simple manner.
Similarly brayton cycle has also been explained in a very awsome manner taking care of all the sub topics like difference between open cycle and closed cycle, reheating, intercooling, regeneration, isentropic efficiency of turbine and compressor and numericals as well.

In this lesson, Harshit Agarwal tells us the overview of the course, Functioning of Power Plants.

Overview of Functioning of Power Plants

In this Lesson, the Carnot and Rankine Cycle is explained. These two cycles are very important for GATE and Indian Engineering Services Exam. You will also understand the difference between these 2 cycles. Further, Thermal Efficiency of Rankine is also discussed along with mean temperature of heat addition.

Carnot and Rankine Cycle

This lesson explains the various methods to increase the performance of Rankine

Cycle like increase in boiler pressure, superheating, reheating and the effects of superheating

and reheating. These parameters are explained with the help of mean temperature of heat addition.

Methods of Improving the Efficiency in Rankine Cycle

This lesson throws light on Regeneration in Rankine Cycle. This topic is difficult to

understand but educator has explained it in a very easy manner. Through this lesson one will gain

the knowledge of Regeneration, Effects of regeneration, various equations. A numerical has been

solved to understand the concept better.

Regeneration in Rankine Cycle

In this lesson, Harshit Agarwal solves problems pertaining to Rankine Cycle. This lesson will

help you gain more proficiency on the theoretical concepts which were discussed earlier on Rankine

Cycle. He explains each single step while solving the problem and elaborates each concept

associated with it. ​Both, Objective and Conventional Numericals are there in this lesson

Numericals on Rankine Cycle

As this lesson begins you will be taught about the Open cycle Gas Turbine and Closed

Cycle Gas Turbine. You will also understand the difference between Open and Closed Cycle. Further,

sub topics are Thermal Efficiency of Brayton Cycle, relation between pressure ratio and thermal

efficiency, why pressure ratio can’t be increased much. These concepts have been explained with the help of

Graphs.

Gas Turbine

A very vital topic to learn, the difference between actual and ideal Gas Turbine. Topics

like pressure drop, what is isentropic efficiency of turbine, what is isentropic efficiency of

compressor. Then educator has discussed the methods to increase the net work in Brayton cycle like

intercooling. A very important lesson for numerical problems.

Actual and Ideal Gas Turbine Cycle

This lesson throws light on Regeneration in Brayton Cycle. Harshit Agarwal has simplified the difficult concepts of Regeneration in this course. Through this lesson one will gain

the knowledge of Regeneration, Effects of regeneration, various equations, thermal efficiency.

Concept on effectiveness and reheating is also there in the lesson

Regeneration in Brayton cycle

In this lesson, Harshit Agarwal solves problems pertaining to Brayton Cycle. This lesson will

help you gain more proficiency on the theoretical concepts which were discussed earlier on Brayton

Cycle. He explains each single step while solving the problem and elaborates each concept

associated with it. ​

One among the major topics which mechanical engineering students learn is Refrigeration. Hence, in this course, Harshit Agarwal concentrates on providing comprehensive information about the fundamentals of refrigeration. One will learn definitions of refrigeration and come across briefly about its fundamentals. One can also attain the comprehensive understanding of vapour compression cycles as the topics pertaining to it are thoroughly explained and sample questions on it are solved. A thorough discussion on the performance of the vapour compression cycle and detailed outline on the volumetric efficiency of a reciprocating compressor is also elucidated. Taking this course makes ones familiar with the classification of refrigerants and much more fascinating topics.
