D.\, PE\, New York UniversityThe equations that govern fluid flow and heat transfer are extremely complex. In many instances\, they areimpossible to solve in an analytical (closed-form) manner. In these cases\, engineers are forced to rely onComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to generate a solution. As the foundation of manycommercial CFD software packages\, the Finite Volume Method (FVM) is a general solution framework thatis applicable to abroad range of problems. This seminar will give a conceptual introduction to FVM to solveengineering problems. We will examine what popular CFD software packages do\, and select results from avariety of application will be presented. At the conclusion of the seminar attendees will understand thestrengths and limitations of FVM and how to utilize this knowledge when using their favorite CFD softwarepackage. \n“Coherent Turbulent Flow in Structures (1 PDH) 3:30pm-4:30pmPresented by: Wayne Oaks\, Ph. D.\, PETurbulence flow is defined by the chaotic changes in the fluid flow’s pressure and velocity. It occurs inthree dimensions and is random in nature. Yet\, there is order in this madness and I’m going to show thisorder using Coherent Turbulent Structures. Shear layers\, vortices\, and horseshoes are just some of thesestructures.Three steps are used in calculating these structures with a general description of computing the fluid field(Computation Fluid Dynamics)\, finding trajectories of particles inserted into the flow (LagrangianParticle Tracking)\, and how to generate the Coherent Turbulent Structures (finite-time Lyapunovexponents).Finally\, two examples from the work will show the application of these techniques. The first is a COVID19related study of the efficacy of face masks in reducing the spread of the virus. The second will show thepath of a point source release of pollutants in southern Manhattan. \n“Artificial Intelligence\, Comparative Study of Large Language Models” (1 PDH) 9:00 am – 10:00 amPresented by: Gus Sapias\, President\, XogitoIn today’s rapidly evolving digital world\, Large Language Models (LLMs) have become instrumental inreshaping diverse sectors\, ranging from customer service to content creation\, and from languagetranslation to code generation. Their pervasive influence calls for a comprehensive understanding of howthey work\, what distinguishes one type from another\, and where the technology is headed. Thispresentation will embark on a deep dive into both open-source and closed-source LLMs\, aiming toprovide engineers with a holistic understanding of these powerful tools. \n“Intrinsic Safety Electrical Protection for Hazardous Areas” (2 PDH) 10:15 am – 12:15 pmPresented by: John Piccinic\, Regional Sales Mgr.\, Eaton Corp.Intrinsic Safety (IS) offers unique advantages compared to other protection methods for the safe use oflow-powered electronic instrumentation in potentially explosive hazardous areas. This seminar willhighlight those advantages and demonstrate how the “Zener” barrier’s simple circuit design achieves ISprotection using an electrical engineering perspective in layman’s terms. The presentation will include ahard-wired demonstration and circuit simulation software to visualize how IS works.

D.\, P.E.\, US Merchant Marine AcademyEfficiency is one of the most popular subjects to describe how well an energy conversion processes.Energy exists in numerous forms such as thermal\, mechanical and electrical. Energy Conversion istypically fulfilled by a process through equipment or a machine; thus the conversion efficiency isfrequently referred as the equipment or machine efficiency\, for example pump efficiency\, motor efficiency\,boiler efficiency\, heat pump efficiency and turbine efficiency. This presentation presents and illustratesthese various efficiencies. In general\, measurement of the energy conversion efficiency is based on the firstlaw of thermodynamics in one identical energy source level\, which is called the “first law efficiency URL:https://www.nealsystems.com/event/engineers-joint-committee-of-long-island-engineers-week-seminar-series/ LOCATION:Holiday Inn Plainview\, 215 Sunnyside Boulevard\, Plainview\, NY\, 11803 CATEGORIES:Event,Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.nealsystems.com/wp-content/uploads/NJ-water-CONFERENCE.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240303 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240307 DTSTAMP:20260204T183258 CREATED:20220308T152624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240129T151212Z UID:20523-1709424000-1709769599@www.nealsystems.com SUMMARY:IFPAC - 2024 DESCRIPTION:Leading the Way in Advanced Manufacturing Science for Over 35 Years The Future of Manufacturing is Here!      \n\n\n\n\n\nIFPAC continues to set precedence as a forum for insightful discussions bringing you the latest trends and real-life applications in the fields of Quality by Design\, Process Analytical Technology\, Emerging Technologies\, Quality Metrics\, Continuous Manufacturing and Process Control applications for the pharmaceutical\, biotechnology\, generic\, chemical\, petrochemical\, food\, and related industries. \nSince 1987\, the IFPAC conferences have generated the enthusiastic response that resulted in the creation of a series of International meetings featuring the regulators\, manufacturers\, researchers and industry users.  Equipment and services are also on display during our events.
