Online Curves eLearning

Rhino Modeling for Marine Designers ...alled the program. We will begin by learning to work with curves, then surfaces, then move into fairing a simple chine hull, followed by a more complex sailing schooner hull. Finally, when you have mastered the skills necessary for the foregoing projects, you will move on to a self-directed project of modeling a complete hull/ deck/ superstructure of your own design. It is important for  more...

Electrical Components - What They Are How They Work and What They Look Like on Drawings ...f the various components; and voltage, current, and power curves of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. This course was designed mostly for non electrical engineers. This course would also be a good review for electrical engineers who have gotten away from electrical engineering, and young PE? s, just entering the profession. It really helps, when reading electrical prints, to have a basic  more...

Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals ...ltiple pumps can also be determined by reviewing the pump curves. In this course, the student will learn the fundamentals of centrifugal pumps. The course material covers pages 47 through 56 - "Centrifugal Pumps" in Module 3 - "Fluid Flow" of the DOE Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Fundamentals Handbook. The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting  more...

Centrifugal Pumps ...es, and describes the performance parameters, performance curves, and all the characteristics that an engineer needs to know to intelligently specify a centrifugal pump for a specific application. The student not presently knowledgeable about pumps can skim through the derivations and still gain valuable knowledge about this work horse of the power and process industries. The more interested  more...

Industrial Fan Fundamentals ...n Methods of controlling fans with variable loads Fan curves, best efficiency points and regions of instability Motors, belt drives, gear drives and adjustable speed drives Mitigating start-up current and torque issues Fan maintenance and common fan system problems, including contaminant build-up, noise, duct leakage, fan degradation and unstable operation Operation of multiple fans  more...

Centrifugal Pump Analysis ...ted to petroleum pumping applications. We will cover pump curves, system curves, NPSH, specific speed, suction specific speed and the pump affinity laws. The effects on pump performance of high viscosity fluids, common in petroleum applications, will be covered. Finally, we will discuss in some depth series and parallel pumping configurations. The student must take a multiple-choice quiz  more...

Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics ... discussed along with an analysis of the pump performance curves. The impact of liquid specific gravity and viscosity on pump performance is explained with reference to the Hydraulic Institute charts. The use of drag reduction as a means to improving pipeline throughput is explored. Batching of different products in a pipeline simultaneously, with minimum commingling, is discussed next. The  more...
