Study on Whirlpools.Peer-reviewed article

L. CHLÁDEK

In the article is presented a survey of whirlpools, most used equipments for separation of sludges from heat wort and examples of visualisation of streaming and whirls in dependence of time. For the evaluation of experimental activity done on whirlpools with different geometry, was by means of dimensionless analysis devoloped a new critery, describing an influence of geometry and hydrodynamic for efficiency of sludge separation. This critery may be useful for a project of new whirlpool oř its reconstructionIn the article is presented a survey of whirlpools, most used equipments for separation of sludges from heat wort and examples of visualisation of streaming and whirls in dependence of time.
