OVERVIEW
Would Henry Ford have used flow modeling to design the Model T? The Wright brothers did with their Wright Flyer. Could the USS Constitution have increased its top speed if the designers used computer modeling? NASA used flow modeling to help put men on the moon and bring them back safely. Should you use flow modeling to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve plant performance?
Anything involving the movement of a gas or a liquid (think air and water!) dominates much of our society. Transportation, food processing, power generation, mining, metal processing, manufacturing, home appliance, and even the sports we watch and play! Airflow Sciences Corporation (ASC) has been using flow modeling to solve real world flow problems since 1975. Through a combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), laboratory model testing, and field measurements, significant improvements and cost savings have been attained for a wide range of industries.
This informative webinar showcases how flow modeling techniques including CFD and physical (laboratory) modeling are used to make the world a better place. Whether it is to make golf balls go further, reduce the amount of mercury in our water, or make the bread we eat tasty and nutritious, modeling is a tool that can help.
Let us show why you should care.
Presented by ASC's Dr. Kevin Linfield, P.Eng., P.E. and Robert Mudry, P.E., topics and case studies will touch on:
Sports
US Olympic Bobsledding Team
Golf balls and golf clubs
Formula 1 cars and helmets
Gas turbines and HRSGs
Optimizing the thermal performance of gas turbine systems including heat exchangers, flow-induced vibration, and duct burners
Designing and improving SCR deNOx performance, ammonia injection systems, static mixers, and CO catalysts
Interference of neighboring sources on turbine intake systems
