COURSE TITLE: An Introduction to Treatment of Closed Industrial Water Systems
COURSE NO: H03-005
An Introduction to Treatment of Closed Industrial Water Systems
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents best practices for treatment of closed industrial water systems used to provide heating, cooling, or both for buildings and industrial processes.

 

The term "closed water system" refers to a water system that is used to provide heating, cooling, or both for industrial processes or facilities. The system is sealed (closed), sometimes under pressure, and is not open to the atmosphere. No evaporation takes place and, with good operation, water is lost only minimally from the system.

 

In general, water treatment for closed systems is much easier than for open systems. Makeup water is needed only to replace seal leakage and other incidental leakage. Because of the small makeup water requirements of these systems, they require little chemical treatment, which can be added intermittently as needed. Once properly treated, the system water does not form scale and has little or no corrosion potential. Two main types of closed water systems are used at many installations: hot water closed heating systems and chilled water closed cooling systems.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers and other design and construction professionals wanting an introduction to the technologies, equipment and operational practices for treatment of closed industrial water systems used to provide heating, cooling, or both for industrial processes or facilities.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Learning about treatment of hot water systems
  • Learning about treatment of closed chilled water systems, brine systems, and glycol systems to supply cold or chilled water for cooling processes and air conditioning
  • Learning about treatment of diesel engine jacket cooling systems
  • Learning about water treatment programs for both closed hot water and closed chilled water systems to control corrosion and deposition of microbiological organisms
  • Learning about treatment of makeup water

COURSE TITLE: Calculation of Gas Density and Viscosity
COURSE NO: H02-008
Calculation of Gas Density and Viscosity
Course Highlights

This engineering online PDH course contains a discussion of, and an example calculation of, the density and viscosity of a specified gas at a given temperature and pressure. In this course, the Redlich Kwong equation will be used for calculation of the compressibility factor of a gas. The Sutherland formula will be discussed and used in example calculations. Another method for calculating the viscosity of air at a specified temperature and pressure will also be presented and discussed.

 

The density and/or viscosity of a gas is often needed for some other calculation, such as pipe flow or heat exchanger calculations. If the gas temperature is high relative to its critical temperature and the gas pressure is low relative to its critical pressure, then it can be treated as an ideal gas and its density can be calculated at a specified temperature and pressure using the ideal gas law.  If the density of a gas is needed at a temperature and pressure at which it cannot be treated as an ideal gas law, however, then the compressibility factor of the gas must be calculated and used in calculating its density. The Sutherland formula can be used to calculate the viscosity of a gas at a specified temperature and pressure if the Sutherland constants are available for the gas.   

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for chemical, mechanical and environmental engineers. After completing this course, you will have knowledge about methods for calculating the density and viscosity of a gas at specified temperature and pressure. 

Learning Objectives

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

  • Ability to calculate the density of a gas of known molecular weight at a specified temperature and pressure at which the gas can be treated as an ideal gas
  • Ability to calculate the compressibility factor for a gas at a specified temperature and pressure, using the Redlich-Kwong equation, if the molecular weight, critical temperature and critical pressure of the gas are known.
  • Ability to calculate the density of a gas at a specified temperature and pressure for which the gas cannot be treated as an ideal gas, if the molecular weight, critical temperature and critical pressure of the gas are known.
  • Ability to calculate the viscosity of a gas at a specified temperature if the Sutherland constant for the gas is known and the viscosity of the gas at a suitable reference temperature is known.
  • Ability to calculate the viscosity of air at specified air temperature and pressure.
  • Ability to make all of the calculations described in these learning objectives using either U.S. or S.I. units.

COURSE TITLE: Cooling Water Problems and Solutions
COURSE NO: M05-009
COURSE PROVIDER: A. Bhatia
Cooling Water Problems and Solutions
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of common chemical treatment program that may be required to maintain cooling water systems in good operating condition.  Reasons and means are discussed for controlling scale, deposition, corrosion, and biological fouling. The discussion also covers the information on chemicals used for control, and methods available to permit operation within the limits.

 

The three primary reasons that the cooling water treatment may be required are to control corrosion, scale formation, and the growth of biological agents. Any of these problems - or more usually a combination of them - can cause a loss of efficiency, shorten equipment life and push up operating costs. Imagine the large amounts of dollars lost when insufficient cooling suddenly curtails operations of process equipment.
