The PVP conference continues to be the international technical forum for the information exchange in different topics related to Pressure Vessel and Piping technologies.
Tutorials present an excellent forum for the participants to further their knowledge-base by being exposed to diverse topics and exchange opinions and ideas both from industries and academia. Tutorial topics are chosen based on the general interest suitable for the PVP Conference attendees. Admission to the tutorial sessions is free and they are open to anyone who is a registered conference attendee.
Special Tutorial is a 2 hour conference session usually held on Sunday afternoon. The session leader will make available the necessary presentation material.
Technical Tutorials are a ½ day conference sessions and are integrated in the conference schedule. Attendees may purchase a set of the "Tutorial Notes"; the charge is set as low as possible based on the cost of production.
- Each attendee will receive a "Certificate of Attendance" as a proof that the attendee has participated in the "2 hour Special Tutorial" or the "4 hour Technical Tutorial".
- VP Division will not assign Continuing Education Units (CEU) on these certificates however; attendees may negotiate CEU credits with their respective licensing boards.
Following is the line-up for the tutorial sessions for the 2006 PVP conference.
| Special Tutorial: Public Speaking and Presentation of Technical Papers
|
Tutorial Leader: James E. Staffiera, First Energy Corp.
This tutorial will provide useful tips in "Public Speaking" and will introduce how effectively to develop and present ideas using state-of-the-art tools.
| Technical Tutorial I: Flow-Induced Vibration of Heat Exchangers |
Tutorial Leader: Michel Pettigrew, Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal
The tutorial will cover the following required steps to analyze a Heat Exchanger:
- Flow velocity
- Tube frequency and mode shapes
- Tube damping in gases, liquids and two-phase flows
- Vibration excitation mechanisms (fluidelastic instability, vortex shedding, resonance, random turbulence, and acoustic resonance)
- Vibration response calculations
- Fretting-wear damage prediction
- Design guidelines
The participants are asked to bring their calculators and do sample calculations.
A heat exchanger will be analyzed from a vibration point of view with the participation of the attendees.
| Technical Tutorial II: European Codes and Standards for Design and Operation of Pressure Equipments - New evolution and comparison with ASME Code |
Tutorial Leaders: George Bezdikian, Electricite de France; Claude Faidy, Electricite de France; Jean Marie Grandemange, Framatome-ANP; Stephane Chapuliot CEA - Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique
The objective of the tutorial will be:
- Understanding the new evolution and situation in Europe for new rules on Code and Standards, and particularly in France for Design and Operation of Pressure Equipment.
- Nuclear and non-nuclear pressure equipments.
- Comparison with ASME approach of the problem.
- Contribution from Vendors, Utilities, and Research and Development organization involved in Codes and Standards.
- Approach and point of view from Vendors and Manufacturers EDF - Generation and Engineering Direction.
- Few examples
Tutorial Content:
- General Introduction and Status of European Codes and Standards
- Consequences on Design of Components
- Consequences on Vendors and Manufacturers
- Fatigue analysis
- Flaw Evaluation of Design and Operation
- A specific Case; French Reactor Pressure Vessel Design and Operation Rules
| Technical Tutorial III: ASME Post Construction Standards |
- Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping, PCC-2
- Inspection Planning, PCC-3
Tutorial Leaders: Charles Becht IV, Becht Engineering Co., Inc.; Clay Rodery, British Petroleum; Bob Sims, Becht Engineering Co., Inc.
A new ASME Standard, Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping, PCC-2, is being issued in 2006. This new standard provides articles that describe recognized and generally accepted good engineering practice in pressure equipment repair. The new standard is organized into individual stand-alone articles, each article describing one repair technique. This tutorial will teach the overall philosophy of the new standard, and provide general descriptions of the material covered in each article.
An additional standard, Inspection Planning, PCC-3, is also under preparation and nearing release. The tutorial will also describe the organization, contents, and philosophy of this upcoming standard.
| Computational Fluid Dynamics Workshop |
This half-day hands-on workshop to be held in conjuction with ASME PVP – 2006/ICPVT-11 will focus around using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model flow in a simple prescribed geometry. It will include geometry import, mesh generation, problem set-up including applying appropriate physical models and boundary conditions, solving and post-processing. The practical exercise will be accompanied by a discussion of the implications of the models and boundary conditions as well as the importance of mesh generation, discretization schemes and solver technology. During post-processing the participant will calculate the pertinent engineering quantities, for example, heat fluxes, heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops. Upon completion, attendees will understand the steps in performing a CFD analysis and some of the uses to which CFD can be applied in industry.
Instructor: Dr. Hoang Vinh, ANSYS Inc.
