This 3-hour online course describes the applications, characteristics, and operation of positive displacement (reciprocating) compressors. This course is oriented toward engineers involved in specification, selection, application and operation of gas... Learn More>>
This course presents a rather intense introduction to the major principles of agitator process design, as applied to liquid and gas-liquid systems as commonly found in the Bioprocessing and Pharmaceutical industries. Learn More>>
Centrifugal pumps are used extensively in many industries and by engineers of many disciplines ranging from civil to mechanical to oil /gas /petrochemical. From LACT charge pumps on production platforms to booster pumps used in oil pipelines, centrifugal pumps are Learn More>>
Overview This 2-hour online course identifies and describes several methods of enhancing the performance of gas turbines (aka combustion turbines, or GTGs). By enhancing the performance, we mean increasing power output and /or improving the efficiency. Learn More>>
This three-hour course reviews the operation of residential heat pump systems. In this course, we review basic operation of heat pumps, the various components of heat pump systems, the types of heat pumps, and the performance characteristics of heat pump systems. Learn More>>
Overview Pumps can be divided into two major categories - kinetic and positive displacement. Kinetic pumps can be further subdivided into centrifugal pumps (the vast majority of kinetic pumps) and special effects pumps. Learn More>>
A large amount of energy can be lost in pumping systems that are not properly designed and maintained. In this course, the student will review eight (8) "Pumping Systems Tip Sheets" published by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Office of Industrial Technologies. Learn More>>
With the advent of electric industry deregulation, environmental concerns, unease over energy security and other industry related issues, interest in combined heat and power (CHP) technologies has been growing among energy customers, regulators, legislators, and... Learn More>>
The ideal cycle for a simple gas turbine is the Brayton Cycle, also called the Joule Cycle. In this three-hour online course, the open, simple Brayton Cycle used for stationary power generation and combustion are... Learn More>>
Overview This 1-hour online course describes the significance and importance of the net positive suction head (NPSH) in designing a pumping system, specifying a pump, and diagnosing pumping problems. It is basic mechanical engineering, but truly understanding an Learn More>>
