The main objective of this webinar is to demonstrate how computational methods can be used to understand flow patterns within problems that are difficult to simulate experimentally. \nSuccessful rocket design involves accurately estimating the thrust generated by it’s nozzle. The thrust parameter however\, is dependent on the ambient pressure and the pressure within the combustion chamber of the rocket. Developing an experimental set up to accurately measure the thrust produced for a supersonic nozzle is a challenging task. With computational tools\, it is relatively easy to simulate the same flow phenomena on a computer. Once a computational setup is created to replicate a given nozzle profile\, the same setup can be used to understand the nozzle’s performance for varying ambient pressure encountered at different altitudes. The thrust profile thus determined can be used in estimating the rocket’s orbit for a given payload. In the webinar\, we will generate a geometry in Ansys Spaceclaim and generate a structured mesh using blocking technology. The mesh will be solved in Ansys Fluent to capture relevant flow phenomena. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nUsefulness of simulation in solving problems difficult to reproduce experimentally.\nVisualization of complex flow patterns in a supersonic intake duct.\nUsefulness of Ansys CFD workflow to simulate complex fluid dynamic flow fields\n\nPresenter: Mr Vijay Kumar Veera\, EIT Lecturer. \nVijay Kumar Veera is a qualified Aerospace Engineer with over 11 years of experience in using CFD methodologies to simulate industrial and academic problems. He has obtained an M.Phil degree in Engineering from Cambridge University in UK and has M.Tech and B.Tech degrees from Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay and Madras respectively. His expertise is in capturing Fluid flow phenomena using computational methods.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nMicrogrids are becoming increasingly attractive to consumers and as such in the future\, a great number of them will be installed at consumer’s sites. In this situation\, conventional distribution networks that accept distributed generation connections may face serious difficulty when its control and protection functions become more complicated. This incurs a burden to the network operation and some technical limitations will appear when a great number of distributed generations are installed. One way of overcoming such problems\, a micro grid system is formed to provide reliable electricity and heat delivering services by connecting distributed generations and loads together within a small area. A microgrid is usually connected to an electrical distribution network in an autonomous way and employs various distributed generation technologies such as micro-turbine\, fuel cell\, photovoltaic system together with energy storage devices such as battery\, condenser and flywheel. Micro grids can cause several technical problems in its operation and control when operated as autonomous systems. This presentation will review technical challenges on micro grid and embedded generation on the network. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nMicro grid and embedded generation pose technical challenges on the network.\nPower System Protection\, if properly commissioned can resolve many of the technical issues.\nImportance of Power System Protection in the current privatized environment.\n\nPresenter: Professor Akhtar Kalam\, EIT Academic Board Chairman \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam has been at Victoria University (VU)\, Melbourne since 1984 and a former Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Health\, Engineering and Science and Head of Engineering of the College of Engineering and Science.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nAccidents do not just happen—they are caused\, and the key to accident investigation is to find the causes. The main reason for investigating any industrial incident is to prevent a recurrence of that accident. \nIncident / Accident Investigations are essential to risk and safety management. Learning from disasters is critical to preventing future accidents and incidents. Incident / Accident Investigations provide a deeper understanding of risk and safety management and learning what went wrong can improve risk control measures. Finding the root causes of incidents/accidents is very helpful in controlling or eliminating such accidents in the future. To understand the root causes of accidents/incidents in an organization/workplace\, and why and how it happened\, investigators need to gather all related facts before and during incidents/accidents. \nThe first step in finding the cause of an accident is to examine the sequence of events that led up to it. Discovering this sequence is the goal of many of the analytical techniques in this field. In the next step\, investigators analyze all different facts to find the root causes of the accidents. After that\, they make recommendations. The purpose of this webinar is to light a spark in organizations to increase the systematic view of accidents/incidents investigation. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nAccident/Incident Investigation\, root causes\, systemic view\n\nPresenter: Dr. Asieh Soltani\, EIT Lecturer \n“I am a unit lecturer and material provider at EIT.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nA common misconception is to understand sustainability as related to just environmental aspects. Indeed\, sustainability is a concept based on a triple-bottom-line framework comprised of environmental\, social\, and economic aspects. It is clear that addressing any of the three pillars of sustainability in isolation will often result in a trade-off. Therefore\, in order to achieve sustainability in a project\, it is necessary to use a balancing approach\, paying equal attention to all three dimensions. \nIn turn\, a strong association exists between construction and the three main pillars of sustainability. The construction industry generates between 2 and 3 billion tonnes of building waste a year and contributes to 5-7% of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and at least 7% of the employed population in most countries. Nevertheless\, the building project decisions usually satisfy only technical requirements or economic limits without profoundly considering environmental and social aspects. In this context\, this Webinar intends to discuss the importance of considering the entire sustainability concept in construction projects\, in addition to present methodologies to benefit this process. \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nA considerable amount of time is consumed in the early stages of designing construction projects on comparing different construction materials\, resources\, and methods.\nIt is possible to achieve sustainability in building projects using a balancing approach.\nThere are several methodologies that can be used to improve sustainability in the construction industry.\n\nPresenter: Mrs. Karoline Figueiredo\, EIT Lecturer \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nWorldwide concrete is the most widely consumed civil construction material regarding its versatility\, strength\, and durability\, among other benefits. Concrete is used in almost every type of construction\, including homes\, buildings\, roads\, bridges\, airports\, and tunnels. However\, the environmental impacts of cement (and thus concrete) production are significant\, considering a mean value of 0.948 kg CO2/kg Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for the life cycle CO2 footprint of OPC. According to The Global CO2 Initiative (2016) research revealed that significant progress in CO2U has been made in the past five years (2011-16)\, with many technologies shown to be scalable. Momentum is favorable for four major markets – building materials\, chemical intermediates\, fuels and polymers. \nTo become more sustainable\, the concrete industry also uses industrial waste by-products such as fly ash (from coal combustion) and blast furnace slag (from iron manufacture) to constitute a portion of the cement used in producing concrete. Additionally\, the incorporation of solid wastes\, such as construction & demolition and tyre rubber to replace natural aggregate are eco-friendly alternatives. \nGreen concrete is defined as concrete that uses waste material as at least one of its components\, requires less amount of energy for manufacture and\, compared to conventional concrete\, produces less carbon dioxide. However\, the climate benefit of a CO2U (carbon dioxide utilization) product depends not only on how much CO2 the product contains but also the amount of CO2 emitted in making the product. \nThe construction engineering industry is a leader in innovating sustainable practice to address the UN sustainable development goal\, and this webinar discusses the technologies that can support engineers\, architects\, and construction professionals seeking efficient\, advanced solutions that conserve non-renewable resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Dr. Ana Evangelista has been investigating the properties of recycled concrete and eco-friendly building materials. She will present the potential alternatives to design a durable and eco-friendly concrete mix. \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nOverview of Construction Engineering sector and UN sustainable development goals (SDG)\nAlternatives to mitigate CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process of concrete\nA recent trend in research and commercial interests in carbon capture concrete is that of the CO2 consumed during the curing and mixing of concrete\n\nPresenter: Dr. Ana Evangelista\, EIT Lecturer \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nWhat does ‘energy transition’ mean? As with any definition\, there are many we could use. One proposed here is this\, “Energy Transition is the specific change/s from one state to another of energy systems. Energy systems have specific patterns of both energy supply and demand quantities and qualities; this is their given state”. Quite a definition! If we look at history there have been three energy transitions so far: (1) wood to coal\, (2) coal to oil\, (3) coal and oil to natural gas. The Fourth Energy Transition should see renewable sources of energy replace all fossil fuels. \nAccording to some authors\, these transitions take 50 to 75 years for the new energy resource (i.e.\, renewables) to have a large share in the global energy market. If we think about the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports we do not have 50 to 75 years. This webinar will look at past energy transitions and discuss how the current/upcoming energy transition might pan out; will we get to 100% electrification by 2050? \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThere have been three energy transitions.\nThe need to reduce fossil fuel consumption very quickly is urgent.\nEvery global citizen/the whole planet will be affected by the energy transition.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Lucas Skoufa\, EIT Lecturer \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is an innovative methodology that revolutionized how construction projects are conceived. BIM can be used throughout the entire building lifecycle\, from the initial phases of project design to the building demolition phase. Nevertheless\, several BIM application possibilities are still not widespread in the market. Many professionals worldwide are still limited to using BIM-based tools to generate virtual models for geometric representation and rendering. \nBIM is advantageous in centralizing all data in the same three-dimensional model\, allowing different analyses and simulations to be carried out. This will enable professionals to reduce costs\, detect design errors\, and track building timelines\, among other possibilities. Therefore\, this Webinar intends to discuss several advantages of using BIM to enhance building decision-making processes\, presenting different concepts that can be integrated with BIM. \n3 key takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThe BIM methodology is not tied to a specific computational application. In fact\, it is a working methodology and a new way of thinking about construction projects.\nBIM can improve the project decision-making process\, minimize project errors\, and improve communication between parties.\nUsing BIM integrated with other concepts can help create a smart and sustainable built environment.\n\nPresenter: Mrs. Karoline Figueiredo\, EIT Lecturer \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nDE offers a range of transformational benefits across the full asset lifecycle of rail infrastructure projects\, through the use of digital technologies and optimized ways of working. DE techniques are now commonly applied on major rail infrastructure projects\, realizing immediate benefits such as improved design coordination\, faster project delivery\, and less project variations. That said\, many of the benefits of DE have often been short-lived\, hindered by inconsistent methodologies\, a lack of interoperable data\, and generally low digital maturity. Furthermore\, there has been little consideration for aligned digital processes over the full asset lifecycle\, resulting in limited reliability or re-use of project information beyond single phases of the lifecycle. \nMost importantly\, there have been no agreed DE standards or guidelines that define best practices across the ANZ rail industry. Rail agencies and asset owners have individually developed bespoke DE project requirements\, with varying levels of detail and specification. This has made it challenging for industry to interpret and respond to a growing number of diverse DE terms\, definitions\, conventions\, requirements\, and specifications. It is now universally recognized by both the public and private sectors that an ad-hoc and siloed approach is not sustainable. There is a need for consistency\, developed in partnership with the ANZ rail industry\, to define and agree on a common approach to DE for rail infrastructure projects. Standardization will enable digital transformation and unlock a step-change in productivity throughout the rail infrastructure sector. \n3 key takeaways: \n\nDigital Engineering\nBig data\nANZ rail industry\n\nPresenter: Dr. Daniel Faraji\, EIT Lecturer \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nThe calibration of sensors is critical in the monitoring of many engineering processes. While some sensors come factory calibrated\, eventual drift in readings is unavoidable. Regular calibration is required if precision is to be ensured. Additionally\, by calibrating against more accurate equipment\, the accuracy of lesser equipment can be improved. \nTemperature sensors are an easy-to-understand example of calibration\, and why it is so important.

To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nAbnormal Situation Management (ASM) is defined as “undesired plant disturbances or incidents with which the control system is not able to cope\, requiring a human to intervene to supplement the actions of the control system”. The key objective of ASM is to bring the process within its safe band of operation\, whenever a deviation is encountered\, before safety-shutdown systems or other safety-protection systems are engaged. \nThis objective can be achieved by utilizing a few different techniques. This webinar will focus on one such technique of building effective SCADA displays to aid the operator in making informed and data-driven decisions. These standards\, when applied well\, reduce operator response time and allow more accurate decision-making\, leading to better plant performance. \nFor engineers in this area\, this webinar will help enlighten the attendees on introduction to ASM and building effective SCADA displays to support the process plant operators to effectively manage and control complex process plants\, especially during the time of process upsets and plant start-ups/shutdown. \nKey takeaways: \n\nWhat is Abnormal Situation Management (ASM)?\nPrinciples of ASM in SCADA display design\nExamples of ASM objects and displays URL:https://www.eit.edu.au/event/scada-display-design-based-on-abnormal-situation-management-guidelines/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Technical Engineering Topics Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20211209T090000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20211209T100000 DTSTAMP:20260522T123306 CREATED:20211117T031414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240627T005543Z UID:23469-1639040400-1639044000@www.eit.edu.au SUMMARY:Learning How to Learn for Engineering Professionals DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place.

DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nPlease join Dr. Lucas Skoufa\, EIT Lecturer and Specialist Turbine and Steam Engineer\, to gain a historical overview of the gas turbine engine\, main applications\, and future use. \nThe development of the gas turbine engine can be traced back over 100 years. For instance\, 1903 was the first use of a gas turbine for generating power. In 1941\, the first successful flight of the Whittle jet engine occurred. Since then\, the gas turbine has been the primary power plant for commercial and military aircraft. Other applications for gas turbines include power generation\, mechanical drive applications\, and propulsion plants for naval vessels. The gas turbine has advantages such as a high power output to weight ratio and short start-up time. On the other hand\, the gas turbine consumes a lot of air. \nIn recent times\, the issue of climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has impacted the operations of gas turbine power plants in Australian electricity markets. The use of natural gas as a fuel is being challenged\, and hydrogen has been purported as a fuel for gas turbines since its carbon dioxide emissions are virtually nil. Even in the aviation sector\, electric propulsion plants are being developed. This webinar will provide a historical overview of the gas turbine\, its main applications until now\, and provide a look at the current efforts to ensure the gas turbine remains a viable propulsion and power plant. \nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards. \nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session. \nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).
