| 2014 Global Conference & Annual Meeting of StockholdersMcLean, Virginia, USA August 18 - 22, 2014 ConferenceHeat Transfer Research, Inc. welcomes you to The Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner. As always, we look forward to dynamic discussions on leading-edge heat transfer technology. HTRI’s training opportunities provide you with the tools to understand and use HTRI’s software to effect change at your individual level. Face-to-face events provide an excellent opportunity to share experiences and knowledge with your fellow members and experts from HTRI. Getting There Sponsorship OpportunitiesThe following sponsorship opportunities for August 18 and 19 are available:
Meet one-on-one with HTRI staff to learn about HTRI software and technology. We encourage you to visit the Demo Area Monday, August 18 and Tuesday, August 19. Staff Poster Sessions (August 18 & 19)We have added poster sessions this year that will offer one-on-one opportunities for discussion of research findings with our engineers. Most presentations at the Global Conference will also have an accompanying poster. We will also present posters on several additional topics that we did not have time to include in the technical presentation sessions. We hope you can join us in McLean, Virginia. Its close proximity to Washington, D.C. makes it a destination of choice. Plan now to attend.  Special thanks to Hudson Products Corporation for once again sponsoring the HTRI reception.Registration and continental breakfast begins at 7:30 AM.

Courses run from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Course fees include arrival tea/coffee, lunches and snacks at breaks, also includes training materials - workbooks, solutions booklets, and electronic copies of the case files. Wednesday, August 20, 2014Specifying Geometry and Tube Layout in Xist Workshop (US$400) Instructors: Andrew J. Mountford and Richard L. Shilling Xist 7 adds cursory mechanical design features to its previous thermal design features. With hands-on practice based on industry examples, this workshop will provide a window into the inner-workings of the Xist mechanical calculations and their effect on thermal design. After you have completed this workshop, you will be able to more effectively specify geometry and tube layout in Xist by using the capabilities of the mechanical calculations to develop Xist cases from drawings. You will also practice matching tube layouts that you built in previous versions of Xist. Process Heat Exchangers: Applications and Rules-of-Thumb Short Course (US$1000) Instructor: Thomas Lestina Why select a horizontal instead of a vertical thermosiphon? How do you size a heat exchanger for an application? How much margin should you select? What are typical operating problems? This course focuses on developing design checklists and rules-of-thumb to help engineers avoid common problems in process heat transfer. It surveys common heat exchanger types used in the process industry including shell-and-tube, air-cooled, plate-frame, and plate-fin exchangers. Fundamentals of heat transfer and pressure drop are provided for single-phase, boiling, and condensing services. Selection criteria for common applications are discussed, guidelines for thermal design are provided, and detailed examples are summarized. Industry case studies of thermal design and operational problems are presented and lessons learned discussed. A copy of Process Heat Transfer: Principles, Applications, and Rules of Thumb, by Robert Serth and Thomas Lestina, is included with the course and serves as the primary reference for course material. Engineers who have recently graduated and more experienced engineers who are responsible for design and operation of process heat exchangers will find this course valuable. Instructors Andrew J. Mountford Project Engineer, provides technical support and training for HTRI. He earned a BSc and MSc in Chemistry and a PhD in Organometallic and Materials Chemistry from the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. During his tenure there, he conducted research at Wolfson Laboratory for Materials and Catalysis. He previously held the position of Thermal Design Supervisor at Tecnicas Reunidas in Madrid, Spain, gaining valuable experience using HTRI methods and software. Mountford oversaw the development of several high-profile PWR and BWR nuclear plant projects, as well as gained valuable experience in the thermohydraulic design of heat transfer equipment for the petrochemical and nitric acid/nitrates industries. His experience in using HTRI Xchanger Suite makes him uniquely qualified to bring an end-user’s perspective to the HTRI training program and to share techniques for effectively working with the software. Richard L. Shilling Senior Engineering Consultant, joined the staff of HTRI after working for more than 25 years for Koch Heat Transfer Company, L.P. (formerly Brown Fin Tube Corporation) in Houston, Texas, USA. As Vice President of Engineering, he directed and managed their engineering research projects, as well as oversaw engineering software development. Shilling has also developed new heat exchanger enhancement devices and techniques for equipment designs. Having worked in a refinery, Shilling is also experienced in troubleshooting exchanger problems as a process heat transfer consultant. In his role at HTRI, he provides technical expertise and works with research, software development, and engineering services on various projects. Shilling graduated with a BS in Mathematics from Grove City College, Grove City, Pennsylvania, USA, and a BEng from Youngstown State University, Youngstown, Ohio, USA. Shilling is the Section Editor of the Heat Exchanger Equipment chapter of Perry’s Chemical Engineers Handbook. A member of ASME, he is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Texas. Thomas Lestina Vice President, Research & Engineering Services, has more than 25 years of engineering project management experience. He oversees HTRI’s research program and directs the contract, technical support, and training services. Lestina also assists in developing and customizing training, and routinely teaches courses. He earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Union College, Schenectady, New York, USA, and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY. Prior to joining HTRI, he worked as a Lead Engineer for MPR Associates, Inc., Alexandria, Virginia, USA. Besides being a member of ASME, he serves on the technical committee for the ASME Performance Test Code 12.5, Single Phase Heat Exchangers. He is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Texas. |
