Progress in the development of high-performance thermal systems has stimulated interest in methods to improve heat transfer, popularly called “heat transfer augmentation”. It has become second generation heat transfer technology. New techniques are primarily employed in a variety of thermal apparatuses encountered in the process and chemical industries, including oil refineries and gas production plants as well as in power generation plants (thermal, nuclear, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, etc.).
This course describes the most important and practical issues related to the optimum selection of various types of augmentation techniques employed for heat exchangers working with single-phase fluids (heaters or coolers) or with phase change fluids (evaporators, reboilers, condensers, etc.) The course will briefly survey the basics of fluid flow and heat transfer in thermal apparatuses and continue with a detailed explanation of the most efficient passive (extended surfaces, fins, swirl flow devices, etc.) and active techniques (surface and fluid vibration, etc.) for single-phase flow as well as for fluids with phase-change (two-phase flows). Performance evaluation criteria (PEC) related to these techniques, as well as technical and economical issues, such as manufacturing costs, problems in operation, maintenance issues, and others, will be covered

Being an operations administrator and planning who does what and when within a team requires a high level of ability and is fraught with difficulties. This training program in administrative operations and coordination will offer a special chance to grasp the abilities needed for this position, from the macro to the micro. From the technical talents needed to plan and implement procedures, to the more delicate abilities of speaking clearly and confidently with others, to the leadership and management capacities to think broadly and organize.
The term ‘strategic management’ is used to denote a branch of management that is concerned with the development of strategic vision, setting out objectives, formulating and implementing strategies, and introducing corrective measures for the deviations (if any) to reach the organization’s strategic intent.
Therefore, this Strategic Management Course focuses on delivering a high-level practical understanding of the complete elements of the subject – analysis, planning, implementation, review, development.
Achieving outstanding sales results in an increasingly competitive world is a difficult task. Only by establishing a modern sales force management system and by training sales management personnel effectively, can today’s firm compete. The Certified Sales Manager course provides frontline sales managers with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to drive bottom-line performance. It focuses on improving organization and forecasting skills, as well as other technical competencies aimed at guiding salespeople towards higher performance.
Alliances in business are a natural route for development – but not all contracting relationships can truly be seen as alliances. A good, trusting and open relationship is essential for a long-term and successful alliance – and this needs to be practiced by the negotiators involved. Negotiation is inevitably at the heart of every process to achieve what you want, whether in an agreement, bargaining for an item, or closing a deal. At the end of each negotiation, the goal is to seek a win/win outcome – an essential characteristic of long-lasting alliances. This course provides an essential framework for effective negotiation — which will be vital for building and exploiting an alliance - from building the relationship, critical thinking to prioritize goals

The economic analysis is a scientific method of research and a logical method of economic study, through which the factors influencing the behavior of economic phenomena can be explained. And it provides us with the different logical tools that are used to derive the different economic theories. If the theory represents the conclusion, the analysis represents the research platform.
There are different classifications of the types of economic analysis On different criteria related to the size of the economic unit covered by the analysis and the degree of comprehension desired by the analyst and can be classified economic analysis: to partial analysis, and comprehensive analysis.
