A mathematical model of separating solid particles of crushed hops from wort has been developed to improve the combined wort brew machine. A formula for determining the radius of the sediment formation area, which depends on the characteristics of the medium, the operating modes of the apparatus, and the functions characterising the velocity distribution in the boundary layer, is proposed. A dependence for calculating the deposition rate at which moving particles settle to the bottom of the combined wort brew machine is obtained. Based on the obtained results, recommendations on the design and operating parameters of the apparatus are given.
