STEAM MOTOR AND ENERGY CONVERSION (TD1050)

A mobile laboratory-scale steam plant for experiments in thermodynamic principles. It helps students to understand:

• Thermodynamic laws of energy conservation
• Steady flow energy equation
• Thermal efficiency and the control surface
• Rankine Cycle Analysis
• The Willans line

TD1050 Features

• Ideal for students to gain insight into the first and second laws of thermodynamics
• Introduces students to industry-standard methods of analysing steam plant performance, including Rankine Cycle Analysis and using the Willans Line
• Uses a simple two-cylinder steam motor and an electrically-heated boiler for easy understanding of the main parts of a steam plant
• Self-contained in a mobile frame that includes all instruments needed for experiments
• Allows students to copy the Marcet Boiler Experiment to prove the pressure-temperature relationship for saturated steam
• Connects to TecQuipment's optional Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS®)
