4. Liquids – take shape of container, but have finite volume (incompressible) Gases – are compressible, take size and shape of container Shear force will always deform a fluid Mass and volume flow rates Newtonian Fluid – Shear resistance proportional to relative velocity between fluid layers Newtonian – Water, air, beer Non-Newtonian – Gelatin, blood, milk, mash, wort Example: Water with density of 1000 kg/m3 flows through a 10.0 cm diameter pipe at a velocity of 5 m/s. The pipe size is then reduced to a 5.0 cm diameter. Determine the mass and volumetric flow rates and the velocity of the water in the 5.0 cm pipe.

11. Flow Measurement – Oriface Meter C d accounts for frictional loss,  0.65 Simple design, fabrication High turbulence, significant uncertainty P1P1 P2P2

12. Flow Meas. – Venturi Meter Less frictional losses, C d  0.95 Low pressure drop, but expensive Higher accuracy than orifice plate P1P1 P2P2

13. Flow Measurement Non-Linear – Venturi, orifice, nozzle meters 4:1 Rangability  2% f.s. accuracy

14. Flow Meas. – Variable Area/Rotameter Inexpensive, good flow rate indicator Good for liquids or gases No remote sensing, limited accuracy

18. Pumps – Add energy to liquid to move it Pump power output = Pump power input = Pump power requirements include Height fluid must be pumped Friction losses through fittings, equipment Vapor pressure of fluid, tank pressures Total head, NPSH eqations

19. Pump Sizing Example A pump, located at the outlet of tank A, must transfer 20 m 3 of fluid into tank B in 30 minutes or less. The pipe roughness is 0.005 mm, and the pump efficiency is 55%. The fluid density is 975 kg/m 3 and the viscosity is 0.00075 Pa.s. The vapor pressure is 10 kPa and the tank is at atmospheric pressure.

20. Centrifugal Pumps Fluid enters at center and forced radially Open or closed impeller Closed higher efficiency Open handles solids better Advantages Available, cheap, adaptable, simple, reliable Handle wide range of fluids, including solids Discharge can be completely blocked Disadvantages Operate at high speed, high shear stress Limited delivery pressure Cannot meter flow

21. Positive Displacement Pumps Reciprocating (Piston, Diaphram) Rotary (Gear, peristaltic, lobe) Advantages High delivery pressure Accurate for metering flows Disadvantages Pulsating delivery Tight tolerance, so not good for solids (except for mono pump) Serious damage if discharge valve closed Bigger and more costly for given application

22. Cavitation Formation of bubbles Pressure drops below vapor pressure (friction losses) Effects Surface pitting and erosion Loss of performance (changed tolerances) High shear stresses Particular concern when pumping wort from kettle to cooler NPSH Required – Pump characteristic NPSH Available – Configuration characteristic

23. Considerations for Brewery Fluid Handling Multi-component – sugars, proteins, etc. Multi-phase – liquids, solids and/or gases Biologically active – Sensitive to temperature, pressure, pH, contaminants, etc. Sensitive to oxygen Surface area exposed, still or wavy Temperature and pressure Avoid less than full flow Avoid filling tanks from the top Sensitive to shear forces

24. Centrifugal Pumps – Principle of Operation Impeller Suction Volute Casting Delivery

25. Centrifugal Pumps – Principle of Operation Flow accelerated (forced by impeller) Then, flow decelerated (pressure increases) Low pressure at center “draws” in fluid Pump should be full of liquid at all times Flow controlled by delivery side valve May operate against closed valve Seal between rotating shaft and casing

26. Centrifugal Pumps – Impeller Designs Closed Impeller Most common, few solids Water, beer, wort Flash pasteurization Secondary refrigerants Open Impeller Lower pressures Solids okay Mash mixer to lauter tun Liquid yeast, wort, hops

27. Centrifugal Pumps Materials - Can be made of many materials What do you think is used in brewery? Shaft seal – Must seal between rotating shaft and volute casting, effects efficiency Hygiene Considerations – No valves, crevices, can be CIP. Mechanical seal between two faces (impeller shaft and volute casting) faces kept together with spring.

28. Centrifugal Pumps Control – Valve on delivery side or change pump speed (not always available, “VFD”) Self-Priming – Centrifugal pump will not work when “air-bound.” Can self-prime by supplying a reservoir with a “bleed supply” of liquid. Air from pipework and liquid from reservoir moves through pump until it is flooded by liquid from suction pipework. Used for CIP fluid return.

29. Centrifugal Pumps Multiple pumps connected in series required for high pressures (flash pasteurization) Curves created for specific speed, viscosity and density Variable speed motor has same effect as impeller size Multiple pump/impeller combinations may work

34. Centrifugal Pumps Advantages Simple construction, many materials No valves, can be cleaned in place Relatively inexpensive, low maintenance Steady delivery, versatile Operates at high speed (electric motor) Wide operating range (flow and head) Disadvantages Multiple stages needed for high pressures Poor efficiency for high viscosity fluids Must prime pump

35. Positive Displacement Pumps Theory: Volume dispensed independent of delivery head Practice: As delivery head increases, some slippage or leakage occurs Speed used to control flow rate, use of valves could cause serious damage Self-priming Good for high viscosities, avoiding cavitation

36. Positive Displacement Pumps Piston Pump Volumetric EfficiencyHigh Pressures Metering hop compounds, detergents, sterilents Suction Valve Delivery Valve

37. Positive Displacement Pumps Diaphragm Pump – Similar to piston pump, diaphragm contacts fluid Not as accurate as piston pump, particles okay Transfer trub, yeast, tank bottoms Suction Valve Delivery Valve

38. Positive Displacement Pumps Peristaltic Pump Tubing compressed in stages Hygienic, easily cleaned (new tubing) Can be run dry Laboratory applications, sampling, dosing

Cannot be steam sterilized, cannot run dry Used to transfer yeast and trub slurries Flexible Vane Pump Flexible rubber impeller rotates Sampling and dosing detergents, sterilents

42. Centrifugal Pumps Fluid enters at center and forced radially Open or closed impeller Closed higher efficiency Open handles solids better Advantages Available, cheap, adaptable, simple, reliable Handle wide range of fluids, including solids Discharge can be completely blocked Disadvantages Operate at high speed, high shear stress Limited delivery pressure Cannot meter flow

43. Positive Displacement Pumps Reciprocating (Piston, Diaphram) Rotary (Gear, peristaltic, lobe) Advantages High delivery pressure Accurate for metering flows Disadvantages Pulsating delivery Tight tolerance, so not good for solids (except for mono pump) Serious damage if discharge valve closed Bigger and more costly for given application

44. Pump Selection Considerations Head and flow requirements Characteristics of fluid (density, viscosity, etc.) Materials (sterilization, erosive nature of slurries) Crevices where solids can accumulate Hygienic design, seals Pressure relief Interchangability (spares) Cavitation and NPSH What causes cavitation? What are the effects of cavitation? Factors that cause cavitation? NPSH Available vs. NPSH Required Particular problems for breweries

45. Centrifugal Pumps What if available NPSH is less than required NPSH? Increase Available NPSH 1. Increase suction static head (pump location) 2. Increase suction side pressure 3. Decrease fluid vapor pressure 4. Reduce friction losses on suction side Decrease Required NPSH 1. Reduce pump speed 2. Select a different pump

46. Valves – Globe Valve Single Seat - Good general purpose - Good seal at shutoff Double Seat - Higher flow rates - Poor shutoff (2 ports) Three-way - Mixing or diverting - As disc adjusted, flow to one channel increased, flow to other decreased

47. Valves – Butterfly Valve Low Cost “Food Grade” Poor flow control Can be automated

48. Valves – Mixproof Double Seat Valve Two separate sealing elements Keeps fluids from mixing Immediate indication of failure Automated, Sanitary apps Easier and Cheaper than using many separate valves

49. Valves – Gate Valve Little flow control, simple, reliable

50. Valves – Ball Valve Very little pressure loss, little flow control

51. Other Valves Diaphram – Flexing membrane Non-return – Flow in one direction only Applications Product - Butterfly and mix-proof common, diaphram. Hygiene critical. Service – Butterfly, globe, gate, ball. High temperature, pressure. Flow control – Globe, modified globe and modified butterfly. Pressure reduction – Spring loaded pressure reducing valve. Often for steam. Pressure relief – Spring or weight loaded.

52. Valves – Considerations Duty – What the valve is designed to do (on/off, product routing, pressure reduction, etc.) Process – Corrosion of valve body, seals Temperature – Closed valve, solidifying product Pressure – Max and min, do not overpressure Capacity – Flow for given pressure Leakrate – Maximum allowable leakage Connections – Flanges, NPT, tubing, hose, etc. Actuator – Torque, fail open or closed Feedback – Signal indicating valve’s position

53. Valves in Breweries Product Routing – Tight shut-off, CIP, material compatibility (elastomer seals). Butterfly and mixproof common. Service Routing – Tight shut-off, high temperature and pressure. Globe, gate, ball.
