Une explication de la norme TEMA et les normes de conception des échangeurs c’est vraiment cool
[An explanation of the TEMA standard and exchanger design standards is really cool]
Abdullah A.
I like the case studies and hope to be more in future. Thanks a lot
Juhyung
Thank you for offering a great course. It was really helpful!
isurs
Very good course! Very detailed and well oriented. And Javier is also available for any kind of doubt or question.
jack_p
I’ve really enjoyed this course. I study this subject years ago and I remembered it as very dense, but with all the available material and the assinments contents are easily acquired. Highly recommendable! Thanks!
peter.jk
design of mechanical equipment could be really dense topic, not the case of this course. I’ve got experience on the subject and I’ve enjoyed the course a great deal. Super well structured with tons of material. Thanks.
Matt
It is really easy to navigate through the contents, course instructions are very clear. Solved calculation sheets a very useful to double check the designs. Cheers, Matt.
