- Understand the phenomenon of the supercritical phase of steam
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 50 minutes has been met.

Length: 11 pages
This 1-hour online course addresses the growing interest and utilization of supercritical steam power plants in the United States. First, the basic steam cycles are reviewed in detail, including the Rankine superheat cycle, the reheat cycle, and the regenerative cycle. Then the characteristics of supercritical steam are discussed, along with its incorporation into the Rankine cycles. Statistics are quoted that show how supercritical technology is becoming mainstream after its brief trial during the late 1950's and early 1960's. The pros and cons of the supercritical steam cycle are discussed. It is assumed that the user of this course is somewhat familiar with the basic thermodynamics of steam power cycles.
