TP Transport and fluids and rheology

At the end of these practical exercises, students should be able to:

Perform primary sizing of a hydraulic network, in particular rapidly assess the power and nominal flow rate of the pump to be chosen, and the network's pressure drop
Communicate effectively with service providers or design offices called upon to intervene on industrial sites on problems linked to the transport of fluids in pipelines
Apply the Rheology course and use the various measurement techniques covered in Rheology.
Probe the relationship between formulation, structure and rheological behavior and interpret experimental results.
Develop rigor, methodology, autonomy and teamwork.

Fluid Mechanics course, Rheology course and Fluid Transport course.

Formulating typical food materials
Getting to grips with different rheometers
Determining rheological properties (viscoelasticity) as a function of different formulation parameters
Probing the relationship between formulation, structure and rheological behavior and interpreting experimental results

For transport and fluids : 2 of the 3 TPs below, at ISNAB (Villenave-d'Ornon)
- TP centrifugal pumps (measurement of HMT as a function of flow rate, efficiency curves, nominal flow rate, series and parallel associations, etc ... )
- TP Regular pressure losses (straight pipes)
- TP Singular pressure losses (elbows, diaphragms, etc . . .)
