Mini Steam Turbine Power Plant
Mini Steam Turbine Power Plant is designed as a miniature modern day power plant for educational purpose.
A pump supplies water from a feed tank to a small gas fired boiler. The saturated steam can be superheated by an electric superheater (optional). The steam is throttled to single stage turbine. Exhaust from the turbine is condensed in a water cooled condenser. Condensate is collected in a graduated beaker and returned to feed water tank by a pump. A small DC generator is connected to the turbine by a belt, and electrical load is applied. A mechanical dynamometer is provided for measurement of turbine mechanical output. The unit requires outside water supply.
Instruments are provided for monitoring and controlling of plant operation and performance as well as for safety. The unit is on a steel frame with adjustable footings.
Instruction manual is also included.

Air Flow and ThermodynamicsTurbo Jet Engine – 70N Thrust
The engine is a small turbo jet engine and modified for educational purposes. The unit has a radial flow compressor and an axial flow turbine as in modern jet plane.
Inlet air through an orifice flow measuring device is compressed by a single stage radial flow compressor. The turbine is motor started and runs on Jet A fuel. Fuel is injected and ignited in the combustion chamber providing hot gas for a single stage axial flow turbine which inturn drives the compressor. The gas is exhausted through a nozzle at high velocity providing a thrust. The turbine runs on ceramic bearings. Lubrication is provided by jet oil in the fuel, and no separate lubrication system is required. A fan is provided for engine cooling.
An Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controls the basic turbine operation. Additional instruments are provided for monitoring and controlling engine operation and performance.
A touch screen computer with an interface unit, and software are provided for speed control, data display and analysis, and to assist the ECU.
A transparent engine cover and over speed shutdown are provided.
Instruction manual is also included.
