Course ObjectivesThe purpose of this course is to provide a review of basic formulation concepts and practical solution results for heat exchanger performance, fresh perspective on methods of heat exchanger analysis, and opportunity for applying modern heat exchanger analysis methodology to practical case studies in computer workshop sessions. Who Should ParticipatePracticing engineers and other professionals who are involved in heat exchanger operation, testing, design, or manufacturing should consider taking this course. Special BenefitsParticipants will receive Heat Transfer—Professional Version: Book/Disk Package 2nd ed. and HX Windows: Basics heat exchanger performance analysis software. The course notes are coordinated with ASME and EPRI Test Codes. Course Coverage•

shell-side flow featuring lecture-computer workshop sessions, examples, and case studies using Dr. Thomas’ textbook and supporting heat transfer software. InstructionDr. Thomas earned his degrees in mechanical engineering at Tulsa University (BS) and Kansas State University (PhD) and has served on faculties of Akron University, University of Tennessee, and Kind Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. His professional contributions include textbooks on heat transfer and numerous journal and conference publications, and he is presently engaged in professional training and software development. Companies whose engineers have attended Dr. Thomas’ heat exchanger performance analysis courses include Alfa Laval, American Electric Power, AREVA, Arizona Public Service, Associated Electric Coop, Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd., Constellation Energy Group, Detroit Edison, Duke Energy, Eastman Chemical, Entergy, EPRI, Exelon, General Dynamics Electric Boat, Nebraska Public Power, New York Power Authority, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, Northwest Energy, NRC, Ontario Power Generation, Pennsylvania Power & Light, Scientech, Southern Company, Surry Nuclear Power Plant, TVA, Virginia Power, Washington Public Power, Westinghouse Electric, Wisconsin Electric, Wolf Creek Nuclear, Yankee Atomic Electric, Zachry Nuclear Engineering, and others. Dr. Edwin Wiggins holds degrees in chemical (BS), nuclear (MS), and mechanical engineering (PhD) from Purdue University. He is the Mandell and Lester Rosenblatt Professor of Marine Engineering at Webb Institute in Glen Cove, NY. His prior academic experience includes 5 years as head of the engineering department at the US Merchant Marine Academy and 3 years as head of the engineering department at Texas A&M University at Galveston. Before entering academic life, Ed spent 13 years in the US Navy. He is a past chairman of the New York Metropolitan Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) and a past regional vice president of SNAME. A Centennial Medallion and a Distinguished Service Award recognize his service to SNAME. Dr. Wiggins serves as an Academic Program Evaluator and has served on the Board of Directors for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mr. Benjamin Scott earned degrees in systems engineering (BS) from the Naval Academy and mechanical engineering (MS) from George Washington University. After serving as a nuclear submarine officer for 8 years, he has spent his career as a design engineer in the consulting and nuclear utility industries. For the past 20 years he has been heavily involved in the design, testing, and evaluation of power plant heat exchanger applications, including cooling systems, steam generators, condensers, and ultimate heat sinks. He has been a member of various EPRI working groups addressing heat exchanger performance and maintenance issues and is currently the Vice Chairman of the ASME PTC 12.5 Committee for Single Phase Heat Exchanger Testing. He is also a Principal Investigator for 1010 EPRI Heat Exchanger Analysis Guide (EPRI 1021065). Mr. Bill Closser earned degrees in mechanical and nuclear engineering from The Ohio State University and MBA from Regis University. He also earned a Senior Reactor Operators Certification. Bill is President of the NuClear Services Group, Inc. which provides consulting, testing, and support services to the utility industry. He has had extensive experience in the areas of condition monitoring, plant performance, equipment reliability, and plant operations. In addition, he is a member of ASME OM-21 (Inservice Performance Testing of Heat Exchangers in Light-Water Reactor Power Plants) and ASME PTC 12.5 (Single Phase Heat Exchanger Testing) committees, co-author of EPRI NP-7552 (Heat Exchanger Performance Monitoring Guidelines-the original guidelines), and author of several papers on testing and analysis of safety related heat exchangers. Mr. Allen Gallaher holds both a BA and MA in Math from Northeastern University. Allen is a Project Manager in charge of BOP Heat Exchanger Inspection and Assessment for Anatec International Inc. He has over thirty years experience in project management of heat exchanger inspection, eddy current testing, and assessment programs in the nuclear and fossil power, chemical, and processing industries. Allen also has extensive experience in BOP heat exchanger training. Course ScheduleLecture - Computer Workshop SessionsPractical Analysis Approach - Day 1•
