Chemical and mechanical engineers often have to deal with fluid flow and hydraulic analysis in their projects and technical work. Unfortunately, most people do it incorrectly or without sufficient knowledge, resulting in undersizing and/or oversizing of lines and components in the hydraulic systems, leading to operational problems. The problem with existing training courses is that they focus only on line pressure drop, but fail to address the effects of important components such as fittings, control valves, pumps, compressors, heat transfer equipment, and instruments. The course provides real-world examples of hydraulic analysis calculations, making it highly practical for design engineers.

Engineers, including chemical and mechanical engineers, process design engineers, process engineers, and any technical personnel involved in fluid flow and hydraulic analysis.
