Description
Gas is a fluid. Beer is certainly a fluid. Both needs to be moved around in very specific ways. This lecture reviews the basic concepts related to the flow of fluids and how they apply in a brewery environment. In addition, a series of example calculations for some of the common scenarios important to proper brewery design are explained.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the different types of fluids
- Describe the properties of fluids relevant to fluid flow
- Explain the different types of fluid flows
- Explain pump selection and sizing
- Describe basic calculations related to the flow of fluid
