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.
