Based on this study, it is believed that the Internet and theWorld Wide Web will play multiple important roles in the higher education. Because of itspotential advantages, universities are not only one of the leading forces in developing theInternet infrastructure technologies, but also one of the first to adopt these technologies foreducational purposes. There are numerous ways to use the Web for education, such as generalcourse administration [13], information delivery [14], virtual laboratories [15], Internet-basedsimulation [16], online courses [17], and virtual universities [18].Based on current research as outlined, it is evident that work has been done

In this paper we describe a typical home brewing operation, outline the objectives andconstraints of the wort cooling step, and describe the apparatus we use in the demonstration orlab. The governing model equations are given, and we show how these are used as a theoreticalmodeling exercise for the cooling step, where results can be compared with experimental valuesusing different model assumptions and simplifications. We show how non-dimensional versionof the model equations are used to show how the magnitude of different
