On November 5th, 2014 the
Orange County (OC) Chapter
of the A&WMA hosted a
Technical Dinner meeting at
the University of California
Irvine (UCI). It turned out to
be a great event, with dinner,
n e t w o r k i n g a n d a n
interesting presentation
given by Dr. Michael
Kleinman who is a Professor
o f Occupat iona l and
Environmental Health in the
Department of Medicine at
UCI. Dr. Kleinman’s
presenta t ion was on
Occupational Exposures and
Health: A Walk Through the
Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
Booklet, where he
discussed his work serving as
a member of the American
Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienist TLV
Committee and the process
for the development of
exposure guidelines for toxic
con ta inments in th e
workplace, guidelines that we
commonly see on Safety
Data Sheets (SDS’s) and in
the TLV Booklet. Dr.
Kleinman also discussed the
process used to review
published literature in
various disciplines and how
that data and information is
f a c t o r e d i n t o
r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s o r
guidelines. The OC Chapter
is looking forward to planning
another successful event in
the near future, so be on the
lookout!

Gas Turbine Combustion
Short Course http://www.ucicl.uci.edu/gtcsc2015/
One Week Course: March 16 - 20, 2015
===========================================
E A R L Y R E G I S T R A T I O N D E A D L I N E : F E B R U A R Y 1 1 , 2 0 1 5 Register in advance as enrollment is limited. =========================================== COURSE OBJECTIVE The objective of the course is to provide detailed instruction in the emissions, design, performance, theory, and regulations associated with gas turbine combustion systems. The syllabus includes a number of lectures on the fundamentals of combustion, but the main areas of instruction are in combustor emissions and design, and in the solution of practical problems that arise in the course of advanced combustor development. Special attention is paid to methods of minimizing pollutant emissions, regulatory forces, and the experimental and computational methods used to delineate combustor behavior. Evening workshops are available, at the discretion of the student, in computational analyses of combustor flows. The course is intended to meet the requirements of people already engaged in research or the design and development of gas turbine combustion systems for aircraft, industrial, marine, utility, or automotive applications. However, it could also be of considerable benefit to new entrants in the field of gas turbine combustion. Entrance Standards While no precise academic standards are laid down, it is assumed that the registrant holds a university degree or equivalent qualifications in science and engineering.
