Interactive & Video Discount Package - New York Mechanical and Ethics 36 PDH

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance on the operation of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps.

In general, a pump is a mechanical device that is used to raise the flow of a fluid from one elevation to the other by increasing the pressure of the fluid.  Centrifugal pumps use a centripetal force, which is defined as the action that causes the fluid to move away from its centre of rotation. Whereas positive displacement pumps physically entrap a quantity of liquid at the suction of the pump and push that quantity out the discharge of the pump.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily to mechanical engineers, plant operators, maintenance personnel, and technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of centrifugal and displacement pump design and operation

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance on the fundamentals of the fluid power of pumped or compressed fluids which generate force and motion.

Fluid power which includes hydraulics and pneumatics is a term that describes the generation, control, and application of smooth, effective power of pumped or compressed fluids to provide force and motion to mechanisms.

The extensive use of hydraulics and pneumatics to transmit power is due to the fact that properly constructed fluid power systems possess a number of favorable characteristics, namely eliminating the need for complicated systems of gears, cams, and levers, and providing a smooth, flexible, uniform action without vibration, and without being affected by variations of load, at affordable costs of operations.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief outline on the fire protection systems in buildings.

The combined efforts of designers, code officials, and related stakeholders can result in safer workplaces for firefighters. When designs are tailored to better meet emergency service operational needs, the time and complexity needed to mitigate an incident is often reduced. The faster the fire service can respond, enter, locate the emergency incident, and safely operate in or near a building, the sooner they can usually resolve the incident in a safe manner. This, in turn, will likely increase the safety of building occupants, reduce property damage, and limit related indirect losses.

The purpose of this presentation is to increase the safety of emergency responders and building occupants by providing information about how firefighters typically interact with fire protection systems during fires and similar emergencies. By better understanding the needs of the fire service, designers and code officials can work together to streamline fire service emergency operations within the built environment.
