Under the auspices of Professor Dr. Adil Man’e Dakhil, Rector of the University of Maysan, and the supervision of Professor Dr. Abbas Oda Dawood, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit, organized a specialized training course titled: “Engineering Equation Solver (EES) Program Case Study: Energy Analysis of Steam, Gas Turbine, and Combined Power Plants Using the EES Program.”
The course aimed to introduce participants to the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) program, focusing on its tools and capabilities as an effective solution for solving complex and differential equations. It also highlighted the program’s applications in various fields such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluids, energy systems, and more.
The course was attended by:
- Professor Dr. Ahmed Kazim Al-Shara’a
- Dr. Mohammed Mahdi Saleh (Lecturer)
- Assistant Lecturer Mortaza Said Mohammed
The course covered several key themes, starting with an introduction to the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) program. This included an overview of the program’s capabilities, its areas of application, and the main tools and functions it offers. Participants learned how to solve both linear and non-linear equations, as well as how to use the program to solve differential equations.
The course also focused on the program’s engineering applications, including the analysis of heat transfer and fluid dynamics, thermodynamic calculations, energy systems analysis, and the use of ideal models to enhance engineering system performance.
A practical case study was presented, focusing on energy analysis in steam, gas, and vehicle power systems. The Rankine Cycle was introduced, explaining the concept of the steam cycle and its key components. Participants then explored how to use the EES program to model and analyze the cycle’s performance, studying the impact of various variables on its efficiency. The Brayton Cycle was also covered, with a focus on the application of gas turbines and thermal performance principles.
The session concluded with an explanation of the Combined Cycle, which integrates both steam and gas turbines. Participants learned how to combine these two cycles to increase energy production efficiency, and how to use the program to analyze variables and generate related tables and graphs for system performance.
Throughout the course, there was significant participant engagement. Attendees benefited from the practical applications and gained valuable skills in using EES to effectively analyze thermal energy systems.
