On September 21-25, 2009, in Dusseldorf, Germany, SoftInWay
will conduct a 5-day intensive course for engineers involved
in turbomachinery design, redesign, optimization and
retrofitting. The course consists of two parts: Axial
Turbine Fundamentals (Monday-Tuesday) and AxSTREAM
Interactive Workshop on Turbomachinery Flow Path Design and
Optimization (Wednesday-Friday). Both parts are independent,
so one can choose one of them, or register for both. The
training is taught by experienced engineers from SoftInWay
having the appropriate academic and industrial background in
turbomachinery.

Part 1 is a comprehensive overview of steam and gas turbine
basics, including such topics as turbine designs and cycles;
initial turbine sizing; multistage turbines; turbine
calculation; design and off-design operating modes; and
profiling and 3D blade design. The course is dedicated to
engineers who want to acquire more detailed knowledge of
thermodynamics, gas dynamics, structural analysis and basics
of axial turbines and their elements.

Part 2 represents an intensive hands-on training program
that provides engineers with all the necessary theory and
practice to design and analyze an optimized turbomachinery
flow path using AxSTREAM. The course contains special tracks
to cater to particular interests of participants: axial and
radial turbomachinery; axial turbine; axial compressor;
radial turbine; centrifugal compressor; and retrofitting and
performance upgrades. By the end of this training each
attendee will receive a free 1-month license to the AxSTREAM
turbomachinery design software suite (a value of over EUR
10,000).

SoftInWay offers a 20% discount for those who register for
the course before July 15.
