The industrial applications of heat transfer fluids are diverse, ranging from simple, static design to advanced multi-loop systems performing numerous functions in a manufacturing operation. Since there are many variations in the design and utilization of processes where heat transfer fluids are utilized, the number of industries that use this technique is also large.
Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Industrial Applications 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.
The 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.
