A hands-on case study workshop that Chemical and mechanical engineers have opportunities to deal with cases of fluid flow and hydraulic problems in this training session to enhance knowledge of the various hydraulic systems. The case studies of this training courses will not only focus on line pressure drop, but also address the effects of many important components such as fittings, control valves, pumps, compressors, heat transfer equipment, and instruments contributing to hydraulic problems. The course will provide hands on case study of hydraulic analysis problem, thus making it very practical and useful for practicing of engineers.

Engineers e.g. chemical engineers and mechanical engineers, process design engineers, process engineers, engineering company engineers, any technical people dealing with fluid flow and hydraulic analysis.
