Fluids and fluid movers such as pumps, compressors of various designs and applications, are encountered throughout chemical and process industries, including oil refineries, gas production facilities, power generation, and other fields of engineering. As fluids can be in-process material in the form of liquid, gas, or a mixture of both with solids, corresponding pumps and compressors sometimes have to satisfy high demands of efficient transport of complex and difficult fluids. The progress in the design and application of pumps, compressors, and turbines has been so rapid that currently, all limitations of pressure, capacity, temperature, and nature of fluids have disappeared. At the same time, this advance in construction and application has presented numerous problems: mechanical, hydraulic, operating, economic, etc.
A thorough understanding of basic principles of fluid flow in pumps, compressors, and turbines as well as in piping systems is a prerequisite for the successful design, installation, and operation of these machines. Various numerical examples are selected carefully to be from real-life technical practice, and will help remove any misconception reflected in an inefficiently operating piping system. Design and operation of gas turbines due to their complexity, require special attention and information on their interaction with axial compressors.

Participants will learn about the field of communication for development in this course (C4D). In order to encourage participation and engagement with kids, families, communities, and networks for positive social and behavioral change in both development and humanitarian contexts, C4D is an evidence-based strategy that makes use of a variety of communication tools, channels, and approaches. It incorporates knowledge and ideas from social, behavioral, and communication sciences.
In order to meet these new challenges and take advantage of chances for innovation to bring about behavior and social change, participants in this three-day course will need new and improved communication competencies.
Too often company executives and professionals spend most of their time fixing day-to-day problems. They react to problems, rather than focusing on what they would like the company to be and then on making it happen. This program focuses on changing the way we think from reacting (responding to day-to-day problems, fixing and repairing) to developing plans for what we want to have happened and then implementing the plans.
A document management system is a computer system used to track and store electronic documents. It is usually also capable of keeping track of the different versions modified by different users. The term has some overlap with the concepts of content management systems. It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems, and records management systems. This course shows you how to deal with papers in an electronic way to get rid of the papers hard copy which takes a lot of space and time
This course will help you define and implement the vision you have for yourself, your team, and your organization. Working from an initial understanding of your own capabilities, motivators, and resources, it will build an action plan for moving you and those around you towards a shared perception of the future, able to respond to an ever-changing world.
We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractors but also with managers, fellow employees, and colleagues within our own organization.
When did you last stop to think about how you work at work – and whether the way you work could be changed to help you be more successful? The Business Brain Train Seminar provides a thoroughly enjoyable environment for you to explore these questions. It shows how to make yourself more effective using mind mapping; teaches techniques for faster, more effective reading, and shows how to use memory systems to remember information. It examines techniques for idea generation, creativity and problem solving; planning; time management; and inter-personal communication skills (including making a speech and how to improve meetings. It focuses on the core skills required for success in any enterprise.
