Course Description

ar student,Centrifugal pumps of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.
This course is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of centrifugal pumps. This understanding is a prerequisite for successful operation of plant and piping system.
The course includes extensivegraphics, 3Danimations and cut sections to give you a virtual practical exposure on centrifugal pumps.
The objective of this course is threefold :
1. Break down for you all the centrifugal pump operating principles into easily digestible concepts like cavitation, performance curves, head, etc2. Illustrate through 3D animations and cut-sections the main pump mechanical components like impellers, shafts, bearings, packing, mechanical seals, etc3. Provide guidelines and best practices for operation, maintenance and troubleshootingSo with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum and we look forward to see you in the first section.
Also remember, as enrolled student you will have unlimited access to this material and one-on-one instructor support. So feel free to interact with us by emailor simply ask us for help in the Q&A section. It will be our pleasure to help you and provide assistance.
Hope to see you thereCheers,WR TrainingSpread the wings of your knowledgeWho this course is for:

Yes

It is a good match. However, since I am accostumed to SI units, maybe the course is going to be a challenge for me. I did not expected that!

Great little course for my PDR

excellent course !!

cocok, hanya saja bahasanya pengucapan mentornya kurang jelas

I was hoping to see more "mechanical design" formulas and techniques based on stresses and loads developed within pumps, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. for example, how thick should the volute be to withstand radial loads, and how can we measure these loads??. and how thick should the impeller blades be to withstand shear stresses or any other loads affecting them?
+ the accent of the instructor is, with all due respect, poor, I could have ignored the accent if the provided information in the lectures was satisfying.

By Neeraj Tiwari on 9/15/2020

topics covered are vital and covers every element of the pump

Yes it was a good match for me

Very detailed explanations. The cut sections and 3D modelling help a lot in grasping the important points.
Keep up the good work !!

For a beginner, course should be started with basic knowledge like what is pump , classification of pump and pump components not NPSH , cavitation or calculations.

I am enjoying this course so far. As a second year engineering student, this series offers a nice supplement to my regular curriculum and allows me to apply some of the concepts that I've learned so far. Some concepts could be better explained; I would personally make it a point to explicitly define absolute pressure as in vacuum conditions as opposed to talking about natural/artificial reference points, but maybe that is splitting hairs. Overall I am having a positive experience. I would recommend a more accurate closed captioning program, the presenter's accent means that certain words are misinterpreted (I am however quite amused that the CC thinks this is a course on bombs, not pumps).
