Introduction

This training course will provide an overview of basic aspects of fluid flow and heat transfer as encountered in various engineering applications. Principles of calculation of flow in piping systems and oil and gas pipelines will be demonstrated and illustrated with examples from everyday engineering practice The flow in various types of pumps, compressors, turbines and other types of turbo-machines will be explained.

This GLOMACS training course will also cover problems of heat transfer as found in heat exchangers, boilers and condensers. Radiation heat transfer discussion will also include solar radiation and various similar applications. The heat transfer augmentation techniques and modern measurement techniques of flow and heat transfer will be presented in the course. Numerous practical examples of heat transfer problems will be selected and solved to illustrate the calculation methods of heat transfer as encountered in everyday engineering practice.

Objectives

  • Comprehensive understanding of different aspects of fluid flow and heat transfer as encountered in various industrial applications
  • Ability to analyze the problems and to use the basic physical explanation of the phenomenon related to operation of process equipment
  • Knowledge on the principles of flow and heat transfer in process equipment
  • Familiarity with various methods of analysis and calculation tool

Training Methodology

This training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive examples, which will result in the active participation of all delegates in discussions and teamwork. Real life examples will be selected to provide physical understanding of the problem and to illustrate the efficient application of calculation tools. There will be ample opportunities for active, open discussions and sharing professional experiences on various industrial applications. All course materials will be provided.
