The selection of an appropriate thermodynamic model and choice of parameters is of great importance for process simulation and many novice users of CHEMCAD are insecure about the right choice. The course will briefly introduce the most common models for the description of pure component and mixture properties with their specific range of applicability. Different … Continue reading
Slowly getting used to Online courses 🙂
Besides Exergy Analysis, Pinch Technology is routinely applied to assess the potential of heat integration in chemical processes. It is especially appealing as it provides an easy to use graphical method to integrate lower value heating (low pressure steam, boiler feedwater) or cooling (water) utilities. In addition, the composite and grand composite curves and process … Continue reading
The first thermo course with the colleagues of Chemstations Inc. in Houston. I was pretty nervous concerning the last day, explaining their simulator to the customer support team of Chemstations Inc.. It seemed they liked it 🙂
Finally a first again. I had long time planned to prepare this course to explain graphical pre-computer methods and link them to rigorous calculation results from a simulator. I think, it went quite nice and I am looking for repeating it hopefully many times in the next years: Description The course covers the design of … Continue reading
From 15.-18. 9. 2020 we gave a course in Oldenburg, that was originally planned for June. Several companies did not allow their engineers to travel, so instead of 9, we had 5 participants in a nice seminar room in Alte Knabenschule (managed by Hotel Altera) in the center of Oldenburg. We received very good feedback, … Continue reading
Just finished a very interesting online course for a company in South Germany. I was a little nervous at first concerning all the electrolyte simulations but it turned out to be great. Looks like the very pleasant participants also enjoyed the course 🙂 Here are a few impressions of the workshops:
So now we are back, only 3 days quarantine …. Let’s see what will happen. There are some courses to teach online 🙂 And there is German food and the weather is lovely ….
It was quite difficult to get the equipment working after delivery from my Chinese hardware dealers stopped, first due to Chinese New Year and then the virus. Had to improvise a lot! Nevertheless I had the first run 3 days before leaving for Germany …. The sensors are connected to ESP8566 microcontroller MQTT clients that … Continue reading
