HTRI Research Advances Short Course (2018) (US$650)
Instructor: Tom Lestina
HTRI research advances process heat transfer knowledge so that our members can predict heat exchanger performance more accurately, troubleshoot operation and evaluate new trending and disruptive technology. Come and learn about the recent developments in HTRI research. Topics include thermosiphon turndown, kettle entrainment, mixture condensation, phase change methods for plate heat exchangers, air cooler testing, crude oil fouling research, and CFD simulations of air cooler phenomena.
Wednesday, December 19, 2018
- Improved navigation and other changes to the Xchanger Suite interface
- New graphing capabilities
- Changes to methods including shellside condensation, shellside boiling, piping pressure drop, flow regime maps, enhanced surface heat transfer, and Stream Analysis
Technology Advances in Xchanger Suite 8 Short Course (US$650)
Instructor: Tom Lestina
Be one of the first to investigate the new and enhanced features in HTRI Xchanger Suite 8. In this short course, you will also learn how HTRI’s latest method improvements will influence your cases and optimize your designs.
Key Topics
Suggested Participants
