Description
This 3½-day course is focused on improving the availability, reliability, capacity, and efficiency of the conventional Rankine cycle power plant. It teaches attendees how to diagnose root causes
of Rankine power plant performance deficiencies using a case study-based approach. Diagnostic flowcharts are provided and used interactively for the solutions to the case studies.
