ME0577 : Fluid Flow & Rotating Machinery

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date knowledge on fluid flow and rotating machinery. It covers the basic concepts of fluid flow, properties of fluids, pressure and fluid statics and fluid kinematics; the mass, bernoulli and energy equations, momentum analysis of flow systems, dimensional analysis and modeling; the flow in pipes, differential analysis of fluid flow and approximate solutions of the navier-strokes equation; the flow over bodies, compressible flow and computational fluid dynamics; the centrifugal and positive displacement pumps; the different types of pumps and applications in industry; and the technology of pumps and different architectures, mechanical seals and operating limits.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the start-up, operation monitoring and troubleshooting of common failures; the reciprocating compressor architecture and the technology of main components and ancillaries; the influence of process conditions on compressor performance, flow control, specific safety devices and start-up philosophy; the multi-stage centrifugal compressor, technology of main components and ancillaries; and the pressure increase process for a compressor stage.
