Gas Turbine Engineering, Certificate
2018-02-10 - 2019-11-22 | New York Ardesia Bar, Lexington Avenue, New York, NY, 10022, United States
Event description

This professional course on Gas Turbine Engineering contains a detailed study on gas turbine that is used for power generation in various applications like aircrafts, automobiles, and marine and also in various industrial applications.
Gas turbines are a kind of internal combustion engine where the combustion takes place inside the engine chamber. This turbine is also called as combustion turbine that can convert chemical energy (gaseous or liquid fuels) into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to drive a generator that generates electrical energy.
Course Outline :
◎ Fundamentals of Gas Turbines
◎ Essential requirements
◎ Advantages over other prime movers
◎ Factors influencing efficiency
◎ Applications
◎ Working of gas turbine
◎ Turbine based on power generation
General Overview Of Gas Turbines :
◎ Ground based turbines classification
◎ Frame type heavy–duty
◎ Industrial type
◎ Aircraft derivative
◎ Small units

Environmental Engineering
2018-03-10 08:00 - 2019-12-01 17:00 UTC
Event description

The Environmental Engineering short course is offered by IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.
Several simple and advanced techniques to produce reliable drinking water from groundwater and surface water (water treatment) are used world-wide. To limit environmental pollution, wastewater has to be treated; an overview of basic processes available for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater is given in wastewater treatment.
Upon completion, the participant should be able to :
◎ Describe different biological processes and their engineering applications for wastewater treatment ◎ Categorize different air pollutants and distinguish the different physico-chemical and biological air pollution control techniques for particulate and gaseous contaminants; ◎ Apply basic thermodynamic principles to determine reaction rates of environmental processes under a given set of operating conditions
