Air Compressors

2 Hour | Only $77.90
Expand your knowledge of compressors! Compressors air systems are used for numerous applications in power plants, assembly plants, refineries, and construction, as well as in air conditioning, refrigeration, and other systems. Engineers, maintenance, and operating personnel should be familiar with their characteristics, limitations, and operation. This course reviews the various types of compressors, including reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, and axial flow units. Definitions and terminology are supplemented with extensive use of figures and diagrams, and application is emphasized over theory..

Mechanical Science: Heat Exchangers

1 Hour | Only $26.95
The transfer of thermal energy (heat) between fluids is one of the most important and frequently used processes in engineering, and is most commonly accomplished in nuclear, chemical, or mechanical systems by means of a heat exchanger. A basic understanding of the mechanical components of a heat exchanger is important to understanding how they function and operate. This course details the way different types of heat exchangers operate and function and discusses their applications in various industries.

Pipe Support Systems

2 Hours | Only $77.90
We’ve all heard stories about the disasters that can ensue when a pipe bursts, cracks, or is otherwise compromised. Pipe supports bear the dead loading, live loading, wind, snow, and seismic loadings, as well as the loads caused by variations in temperatures.  As such, pipe supports must prevent exceeding the stress limit of the piping material, and prevent excessive forces and moments on the equipment to which the piping is attached. This course looks at the fundamentals of pipe support design and discusses basic theories and principles of pipe stress calculations.

Commercial Building MEP Design

1 Hours | Only $38.95
The design effort in commercial building is typically very fast-paced. When funding becomes available for commercial building work, there is usually an urgent need for the construction to take place, the building to become occupied, and for revenue to begin being generated. This course goes over the steps you need to know to accomplish the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) design of a typical commercial building quickly and properly! Sources of information, design parameters, and the requirements of various local jurisdictions in the review of MEP documents for the issuance of building permits are all provided discussed. Understand the steps that should be taken to begin the MEP design of a commercial building.

Heat Transfer: Overall Coefficients and Insulation R-Values

4 Hours | Only $155.80
In heat conduction problems, many times the thermal energy (heat)) that is conducted through the region of a solid body is brought to or removed from the solid region by convection heat transfer.   Various complex conduction heat transfer systems with convection heat transfer at the conduction surfaces can be analyzed utilizing one-dimensional steady simplifications, which are presented here.  These systems include: a) overall heat transfer calculations for heat losses (or gains) through building structures (such as walls, ceilings, and floors) and b) overall heat transfer coefficients for heat exchangers and other two-fluid systems.  A presentation for the proper use and application of building insulation materials with specified R-values is included.

Compressed Air System Basics

1 Hours | Only $38.95
Compressed air is one of the major utilities in many industrial plants that incurs relatively high energy and equipment costs.  It’s typically a critical system that must be fully functional in order for the plant to operate.  As such, these systems must be be well designed, properly installed, and well maintained.  Paying close attention to all of these aspects of compressed air systems will provide peak performance and energy savings, and this course will tell you much of what you need to know about  usage, system components, leakage, controls, storage and maintenance.
