COURSE TITLE: Insulation Audit and the Economic Thickness of Insulation
COURSE NO: T04-005
COURSE PROVIDER: A. Bhatia
Insulation Audit and the Economic Thickness of Insulation
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides insight to the energy loss from an inadequate or uninsulated surface and discusses "how much" insulation is adequate on economic criteria.

 

Consideration of cost and conservation of fuel warrant a close assessment of insulation systems in the existing installations and new projects. Identifying the rate of thermal energy (heat) loss from an inadequate or uninsulated surface is the starting point for understanding the incentive for installing thermal insulation.

 

A thermal insulation thickness that satisfies an economic assessment of the minimal cost of owning and operating a thermal system is commonly called the economic thickness. The economic thickness pays for itself besides earning a return over its original cost. From this definition, any changes occurring in the prices of fuel or in the insulation cost will tend to shift the economic thickness to another value. Therefore the insulation levels, which were uneconomical in the earlier years, may be quite lucrative now due to drastic increase in fuel prices in the recent years. Based on the prevailing cost structure one has to review the entire insulation system and assess if additional insulation is necessary to achieve optimum economy.

 

This 4 PDH  online course is applicable to mechanical, chemical and process engineers as well as system design engineers working in power, P&C, refineries, fertilizers, metal & mining, manufacturing and engineering industries. This course is also intended for energy auditors, operational and maintenance personnel, health & safety personnel and loss prevention engineers.

COURSE TITLE: Material Properties and Corrosion
COURSE NO: T06-001
COURSE PROVIDER: A. Bhatia
Material Properties and Corrosion
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course discusses the properties and behavior of materials, including stress and strain, thermal expansion, ductility, brittleness, creep, fatigue failure and more.

 

The purpose of this course is to briefly introduce several material properties and failure modes. A better understanding of these failure mechanisms will enable more appropriate decisions when selecting materials for a particular application. Even a basic knowledge and awareness can help design engineers to be better equipped in delaying or preventing the failure of a material or component.

 

Some general causes for failure are structural loading, wear, corrosion, and latent defects. Because most engineering materials contain discontinuities most metal fatigue cracks initiate from discontinuities in highly stressed regions of the component. Failure can occur in systems with moving or non-moving parts. In systems with moving parts, friction often leads to material degradation such as wear, and collisions between two components can result in surface or more extensive material damage. Systems with non-moving parts are also prone to material failure, especially when certain types of materials operate over a broad range of pressures and are subjected to extreme temperature changes or to high energy radiation environments.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical, nuclear and industrial engineers, design professionals, facility managers and operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the properties and corrosion of material.

Learning Objectives

This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding the terms as they relate to materials: mechanical stress and strain, hoop stress, thermal expansion, differential thermal expansion, thermal shock & residual stress
  • Understanding factors which cause mechanical and thermal stress in a component and the consequences of exceeding stress limits in materials
  • Understanding why heating and cool down rates are limited
  • Defining the following properties of materials: ductility, brittleness & nil-ductility transition
  • Learning the differences between ductile and brittle fracture
  • Understanding why a material exhibiting a ductile/brittle transition temperature has operating limitations with respect to temperature
  • Learning about creep as it relates to materials
  • Understanding why a large shaft becomes deformed when at rest and why rolling a large shaft prior to operation reduces the deformation
