Write a 6-8 page paper describing the selected topic and covering the thermodynamic principles employed. Significant theory and analysis must be included, not just a summary. Research information that has numerical values and can be used with equations/theory from chapter material to supplement discussion and analysis of topic.
thermodynamics class project research paper will be on a basic steam generation plant. Discuss and compare the differences between a conventional boiler feed system, and a nuclear steam system. Cover the four main parts of each system and how thermodynamics plays a big role in them. Each system will be dissected into parts with the class equations worked into each subsection, to better understand the phase changes of the water as it goes from a feed water pump through the boiler / nuclear reactors, to the turbines to supply the work load, and ending up back into the feed water system through the condenser.
