Folks,

Recently I was hired as a new steam turbine engineer. My main repsonsability is mechanical/structural engineering including: rotor dynamics, blade and diaphragm vibration analysis and other various Mech Eng tasks.

I was wondering if there are any seminars/training events that might be beneficial to this field. I am located in Massachusettes in U.S. There is a budget put aside that my boss wants to utilize. Travel would not be a problem.

thanks
A

Do you care about thermal performance and the condensers?
If so then look into the Burns Engineering condenser class. It is very good.

No basicaly our office is divided into two dominating teams. Thermo & mechanical. They just give me horespower and speeds of stages and i calculate the mechanical aspects needed to withstand the steam & inertia forces.

I'd have thought any 'vibration of rotating machines' workshop would be handy.

Cheers

There is a turbine machinery workshop in TX (TA&M?). It has been one of the best for years.
