Xist Workshop
Instructor: S. Greg Starks
Date: Monday, September 22, 2008
Time: 8:30 - 17:00
Fee: US$350
Even if your work is limited to shell-and-tube heat exchangers, there’s much to be learned! Unlike the Xchanger Suite workshops, this session is devoted to the geometries handled only by Xist.
The day focuses on the extensive options available in Xist and how you can use these methods effectively to solve several example problems. You’ll leave the class knowing how to take full advantage of the features this robust tool offers.
Key Topics
Overview of Xist capabilities and applications • Geometry input for shell-and-tube heat exchangers • Process specifications for rating, simulation, and design • Guidelines for specifying fluid properties • Introduction to HTRI analysis methods
Suggested Participants
Designers of shell-and-tube heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance
Xace Workshop
Instructor: Nicholas F. Urbanski
Date:
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Time: 8:30 - 17:00
Fee: US$350
Do you design only air-cooled heat exchangers? Evaluate their performance? Then this workshop is for you. Unlike the Xchanger Suite workshops, this course focuses only on air-cooler geometry.
Learn how to use Xace effectively to rate and design air-cooled heat exchangers, economizers, and air preheaters. All example problems and practice exercises relate to geometries handled only by Xace.

S. Greg Starks, Senior Software Developer, graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA. While working at the Shuttle Support Thermal Control Systems Analysis Group of Rockwell International, Houston, Texas, he performed thermal analyses for the space shuttle and developed geometry models for the shuttle/space station. From 1994 – 1999, Starks was employed at HTRI, developing calculation engines for our software as well as a quality control database to track program changes. He then moved to Austin, Texas, to work as the Software Engineering Manager for Tanisys Technology, Inc., a supplier of automated test equipment for semiconductor memory technologies. Now that he has rejoined HTRI’s team, Starks is currently responsible for the Xtlo calculation engine and enhancements to Xist. He also assists with sales and training initiatives.
Nicholas F. Urbanski, Technical Services Support Engineer, brings a member-company perspective to HTRI after working for ten years at UOP LLC, Tonawanda, NY, USA. As a Senior Engineer there, he was principally involved with the development and design of separation technologies and equipment, as well as the design of heat transfer equipment. In his current position, he performs engineering analyses and provides technical support. In addition, he develops training materials and has conducted several workshops. Urbanski received a B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA and an M.B.A. from Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, USA. He has held several leadership positions in AIChE and currently serves as the Chair of Distillation and Absorption Area in the Separations Division. Urbanski is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in Texas.
