Selection of Pumps and Valves for Two-Phase Flow and
Optimum System Performance
PD679
FLUIDS AND HEAT TRANSFER � PUBLIC COURSES This course provides an understanding of the nature of pumps and
valves and how they interact for optimum system performance.
The course discusses the requirements necessary for the selection of
pumps and valves, and is structured in a sequence, starting from basics
to detailed discussion of various aspects of both pumps and valves. It
is designed to develop a full understanding of how pumps and valves
work, covering selection, installation, operation, maintenance and
trouble-shooting.
This course covers a broad range of topics, including the flow of fluids
(e.g., calculating the flow of fluids and pressure drop), the selection of class exercises on participants’ computers. In-class demonstration when
centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps, as well as types of
valves, flow characteristics of valves and best practices in installation,
operation and maintenance.
During the course attendees will receive guidance in making cost-
effective decisions and tips for avoiding poor system operation. Also
discussed will be how pumps and valves are used in different industries.
You Will Learn To
• Identify the parameters required for calculating the flow of fluid
through pipes
• Identify the requirements for the selection of centrifugal pumps
• Explain how to select the right size pump for the process
• Explain how to select the appropriate capacity and pressure of the
pump for an application
• Identify the most cost effective methods to control flow
• Explain how to select the correct valve for a system
• Explain how to reduce equipment costs by proper selection of valves
• Describe how to control costs and avoid system malfunctions due to
improper valve selection
• Explain how to install, operate and maintain valves
• Describe the process of diagnosing and troubleshooting valve
problems
Who Should Attend
Design engineers, process selection engineers, procurement personnel,
project engineers, quality personnel, operation and maintenance
engineers as well as inspection engineers

Heat Transfer
PD624
Participants in this course will gain a phenomenological understanding
of two-phase flow and heat transfer in engineering processes and
components, as well as an ability to compute two-phase flow and heat
transfer for common situations. The focus is on single component/two
phase systems (e.g., a liquid and its vapor), which is the most common,
yet most difficult to model.
The course approaches two-phase flow and heat transfer in a practical
way. Advantages and disadvantages of the various models that are
being used in purchased programs are explained. Basic quantitative
calculation methods will be derived, and their use demonstrated in
facilities permit.
Each participant will receive a set of class notes and a copy of the
textbook, Boiling Heat Transfer and Two-Phase Flow, 2nd Edition,
by L.S. Tong and Y.S. Tang.
You Will Learn To
• Explain the fundamentals of boiling
• Explain boiling on external and internal surfaces
• Describe two-phase flow patterns and pressure loss
• Explain two-phase flow with heat transfer
• Identify critical heat flux and burnout
• Describe Flow Instability in two-phase systems
• Identify cavitation
• Describe spray cooling with phase change
Who Should Attend
Engineers working in industrial environments with two-phase systems
Special Requirements
The instructor recommends that participants bring their laptop
computers to this class.
