Objective

After this course you can:
- define the fluid volume flow rate, flow velocity and pressure loss in a pipe system on the basis of equations and diagrams
- choose a suitable pump for a pipe system and define the system operating point
- examine system flow control methods by throttling or VSD control (basics of affinity laws)
- solve simple mathematical problems in fluid dynamics
- examine cavitation in different systems.

Content

Why are there pressure losses in pipes?
How do pumps and fans move fluid?
How can the volume flow rate be controlled?
How can mathematics be used in fluid dynamics?
What is pump cavitation?
