Product Code : SCL-CELE-13925
The Steam Motor & Energy Conversion Test Kit is a
comprehensive, mobile, laboratory-scale system designed to provide students
with practical experience in thermodynamics and steam power plant
principles. It effectively models the closed-loop operation of a real steam
plant, allowing for the analysis of energy conversion and thermal efficiency.
System Components and Operation
The apparatus is self-contained within a mobile frame
and includes all necessary components and instrumentation for a full range of
experiments:
- Boiler: Electrically
heated by two independently-switched immersion heaters. It has a maximum
experiment pressure of approximately 350 kPa (set by a 400 kPa
pressure relief safety valve), a water level gauge, and a 'blow-down
cock'. A Power meter displays the electrical input to the heaters.
- Steam
Motor: A simple two-cylinder steam motor converts the
steam's thermal energy into mechanical work, outputting approximately 90
W at 2000 rev.min-1.
- Condenser: A mains
water-cooled condenser handles the used steam from the motor,
converting it back to liquid water (condensate).
- Measurement:
- Dynamometer: A band-brake
dynamometer with a digital display measures and displays motor speed,
torque, and power.
- Instrumentation: Two
mechanical gauges show the boiler and engine inlet pressures. Thermocouples
and a digital display measure temperatures at key points.
- Throttling
Calorimeter: This crucial device allows students to measure
the dryness fraction (quality) of the steam.
- Condensate
Collection: A calibrated vessel with a stopwatch and
thermometer is used to measure the mass flow rate of the steam
(condensate flow).
- Circulation: An
electric pump draws from a reservoir (feed tank) to supply the boiler,
completing the cycle.
? Core Experiment Capabilities
This kit is ideal for thermodynamics and energy conversion
coursework, focusing on industry-standard analysis methods.
- First
and Second Laws of Thermodynamics: Students gain direct,
hands-on insight into energy conservation and the limits of energy
conversion in a thermal process.
- Rankine
Cycle Analysis: The system is an operational model of the Rankine
Cycle, enabling students to plot the cycle's states on T-s
(Temperature-Entropy) and h-s (Enthalpy-Entropy) diagrams, and
calculate key performance metrics like thermal efficiency and specific
steam consumption.
- Willans
Line Analysis: This industry-standard method is used to
determine the friction power and no-load steam consumption
of the motor by plotting steam flow rate against motor power and extrapolating
the linear portion.
