Steam engine and energy conversion experimental device
You will learn the basic principles of thermodynamics, heat energy conversion, and power measurement using a boiler and steam engine. Water pumped from the storage tank by the feedwater pump is heated in the boiler and turns into steam, which drives a two-cylinder steam engine. The steam that exits the engine passes through a water-cooled condenser and enters a drainage tank or steam measurement container. A manually operated load device connected to the steam engine measures the engine's rotational speed, torque, and output, while thermocouples measure the temperature inside the boiler, the temperature of the throttling calorimeter, and the inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water for the condenser, displaying them digitally. The throttling calorimeter measures the dryness of the steam based on the heat quantity. Two analog gauges display the inlet pressure of the boiler and engine, and an electric meter shows the heater power. The analysis of the Rankine cycle and verification of steam plant performance, including the Mollier diagram, clarify the relationship between pressure and temperature through boiler experiments with saturated steam. For safety, if the water level in the boiler drops and the heater overheats, the heater will automatically stop, and a lamp will light up. Additionally, the safety valve of the boiler limits the pressure.
