Plant Theory covers the background theory required for a fundamental knowledge of power plant operation. Plant Theory begins by discussing the general energy equation and moves into properties of fluids such as pressure, temperature, and heat content. Basic thermodynamics and physical properties of water and steam are also covered. Plant Theory concludes by discussing the concept of heat rate and how it is used to measure power plant efficiency.
