In final thesis, we examined steam generator as a part of a simple steam engine. Simple steam generator with gel fuel was presented, which is becoming more and more popular. For us it was interesting mainly from the point of view of maintaining air quality. We determined the upper and lower heating values of two gel fuels, which was determinded from measurements performed on the calorimeter. Thermal energy of the already mentioned fuels was determinded and the amount of evaporated water during the boiling. Thus, we were able to define heat emitted from the fuels and heat that was accually used to boil the water. The main aim was to provide relevant data to determine the amount and velocity of steam flowing to the turbine.
