Applied Fluid Movement: Pumps, Piping, Fans, and Ducts

This course explores the principles and applications of fluid movement in practical engineering systems. Participants examine how fluids are transported through piping, tubing, and duct networks, and analyze the performance of pumps, fans, blowers, and related components. Applications include pumping liquids through piping systems, hydraulic and pneumatic power, ventilation systems, and more. Participants learn the basic equations and concepts of fluid movement and the quantitative and qualitative analysis of pipes, tubing, and ducts coupled with pumps, fans, and blowers. Emphasis is placed on applying fundamental equations and concepts to conduct both quantitative and qualitative analyses of fluid systems.

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

• Calculate pressure drop or flow rate for a given flow through a pipe, tube, or duct.
• Design advanced flow networks by applying principles of series and parallel configurations to meet specified performance criteria.
• Formulate predictions of overall system performance and operating points in a flow network combined with a specified pump or fan and predict the effects of perturbations on performance.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for engineers and engineering managers in any industry that uses and controls the constrained movement of fluids.
