Lesson 4 - Principles of Fluid Mechanics 2
This lesson will extend our knowledge of fluid mechanics by considering two important laws: the conservation of both mass and energy. We will also examine the various flow regimes which are present within a pipe or duct carrying moving fluids.
Lesson Sign-off
This lesson extended our knowledge of fluid mechanics by considering two important laws: the conservation of both mass and energy. We also examined the various flow regimes which are present within a pipe or duct carrying moving fluids.
You should now be able to:
-
Understand and be able to apply the concept of mass and energy conservation to pipe and duct flows.
-
Apply the concept of the Reynolds number to defining laminar, transitional or turbulent pipe flows in circular and non-circular geometries.
-
Describe common brewery fluids which are transported under laminar or turbulent flow conditions.
A self-assessment lesson now follows, which will allow you to determine the level to which you have attained the above learning outcomes.
