What's Hot at TPS 2024
Dr. Eric Petersen of Texas A&M shares what the hot sessions and topics are at TPS 2024.
Dr. Eric Petersen, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Turbomachinery Laboratory Director at Texas A&M, talks about the hottest sessions and topics at the 2024 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia.
“The hottest technical sessions are the ones that have to do with emerging technologies, for example, those related to supercritical CO2 in terms of sequestration—basically preventing CO2 from going into the atmosphere," Dr. Petersen said. "That’s a big national and international concern, so a lot of engineering companies are working toward compressing, transporting, and handling large quantities of CO2 at very high pressures.
“Other hot topics are our more classic topics. There's a new generation of engineers that want to get up to speed as quickly as possible on the basics of turbomachinery. We do this through our tutorials, short courses, and discussion groups, so there's a lot to learn from the generation of experienced engineers who form our advisory committee. A lot of our presenters are key engineers in the industry who have been working in turbomachinery for over 20 years.”
