Process Engineering in Brewing Science – Part 2: Mechanical Process Engineering
This series of articles introduces and explores selected areas of fundamental knowledge (see BRAUWELT International No. 2, 2017, p. 127) using relevant examples from the field of process engineering applied to brewery production. Mechanical process engineering is focused on mixing and separating particles and particle collectives or conglomerates, while thermal process engineering deals with separating and combining molecules and systems of molecules. This second installment in the series examines the discipline of mechanical process engineering more closely. The next article will be devoted to thermal process engineering and will appear in the upcoming issue of BRAUWELT International.
