sir, will this course involve simulation.
I want to carry out a research on adsorption refrigeration, will this course be helpful in this research.
Thank you sir
Dear Kehinde, I think the knowledge you can take via this course from the top professors of this field will bring you in the level to understand the basis of your adsorption phenomena, phase changes, and multiphase modeling simulations. Then you can setup your simulation case better, perform more meaningful analysis, and enhance your creativity for preparing your results as new manuscript, patent developments and new projects.
Good Day Aliyar,
I’m interested to join the online sessions because they will help me a lot with my master thesis. I’m studying CO2 switchable surfactants in an attempt to evaluate different surfactants in terms of their foam generation and stability. However, I think it’s late for me at the moment. I would like to ask you if the lectures recorded or the presentaion slides available. Would it be beneficial to me if I joined now?
Regards
Khaled
Dear Khaled, thanks for your message and interest about our online course. Yes the lectures are recorded, you can review the recorded lectures here, and join the online lectures from today: https://www.world-academies.com/groups/course-surface-phenomena/videos/
