Heat Balance Calculation with AxCYCLE Self-Paced Video Course

This is an introduction to AxCYCLE™ for design, analysis and optimization of thermodynamic cycles on the examples of steam and combined gas-steam cycles.

This comprehensive course program includes several hours of videos featuring software demonstrations and explanations related to the design, analysis and optimization of thermodynamic cycles using AxCYCLE™.

The goal of this self-paced course is to provide engineers with a better understanding of thermodynamic cycles in AxCYCLE™ and help them discover the tool and/or refine their skills with the software.

This course is broken down into different sections and chapters with quizzes at the end of each video (about 30 minutes) to ensure the knowledge presented has been understood, retained and can be effectively applied to engineering challenges.
