Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) - Thermodynamics and Liquefication Systems Part 1
This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of thermodynamics and their application in the liquefaction of natural gas, specifically focusing on the production of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, analyze natural gas liquefaction systems, and appreciate the significance of LNG in the global energy landscape. It delves into the origins of natural gas and explores the process of converting natural gas into its liquid form, LNG. The course utilizes pressure enthalpy charts to analyze an open expansion natural gas liquefaction system, providing a step-by-step understanding of the process. You will gain insights into the thermodynamic principles governing this process and develop a solid foundation in the practical applications of thermodynamics in the energy industry.
This 9 PDH online course is applicable to petroleum, chemical and mechanical engineers, as well as other professionals working in the natural gas and energy sectors. It is especially valuable for those engaged in the design, operation, and maintenance of natural gas liquefaction facilities, as well as individuals seeking to expand their knowledge of LNG production and its role in the global energy landscape.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning the thermodynamic terms and definitions
