Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering



Introduction:


Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with chemical engineering principles, but also with many of the other engineering disciplines including electrical and instrumentation, but especially mechanical. The process engineer is interested in the transportation and transformation of solids, liquids and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control and economics.

 

The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids and gases, often at high temperature and pressure. Of specific importance are failure modes such as fracture, fatigue and creep, corrosion and corrosion minimization, material properties, design standards, static and rotating equipment design, inspection and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring. Sound mechanical engineering principles, together with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring and condition evaluation, enable the mechanical engineer to design and maintain the equipment required by the process engineers.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Develop both fundamental and practical understanding of central issues in processes used in oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, and allied facilities together with a practical understanding of central issues in mechanical engineering as applied in those industries
  • Understand the various static and rotating equipment used in the petrochemical environment.
  • Apply different maintenance strategies and philosophies
  • easily identify and assess active degradation of mechanisms and the failures they may cause
  • Enhance their competencies in mechanical design of pressure equipment and piping systems in compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations
