PE01: Fluid Flow and Hydraulic Analysis for Engineers
Chemical and mechanical engineers often have to deal with fluid flow and hydraulicanalysis in their projects and technical works. Unfortunately, most people do it
incorrectly or without sufficient knowledge, resulting in undersizing and/or oversizing oflines and components in the hydraulic systems, which subsequently lead to problems inoperations. The problem with existing training courses is that they focus only on linepressure drop, but fails to address the effects of many important components such as
fittings, control valves, pumps, compressors, heat transfer equipment, and instruments.
The course will show real examples of hydraulic analysis calculations, thus making itvery practical and useful for practicing design engineers.
Target Group: Engineers e.g. chemical engineers and mechanical engineers, process
design engineers, process engineers, engineering company engineers, any technicalpeople dealing with fluid flow and hydraulic analysis.
