Ohm’s law

In electrical circuits, Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltageacross the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.

DEFINITION OF TRANSPORT

PHENOMENA

Transport phenomena are all irreversible processes of statistical nature stemming from the random continuous motion of molecules, mostly observed in fluids.

They involve a net macroscopic transfer of matter, energy or momentum in thermodynamic systems that are not in statistical equilibrium.

Page 5: Transport phenomena

MOMENTUM, HEAT ,MASS, KINETICS

Page 6: Transport phenomena

Momentum, Heat & Mass

Examples include heat conduction (energy transfer), viscosity (momentum transfer), molecular diffusion (mass transfer), radiation and electric charge transfer in semiconductors.

Apart from conduction, another heat transfer mechanism is convection which is not a transport phenomenon per se, as it involves turbulent and bulk motion of fluids.

Page 7: Transport phenomena

Analogies

An important principle in the study of transport phenomena is analogy between phenomena. For example, mass, energy, and momentum can all be transported by diffusion:

In any Dynamic System:

Rate = Driving Force/ Resistance

Page 8: Transport phenomena

EXAMPLES The spreading and dissipation of odors in

air is an example of mass diffusion. The conduction of heat in a solid material

is an example of heat diffusion. The drag experienced by a rain drop as it

falls in the atmosphere is an example of momentum diffusion (the rain drop loses momentum to the surrounding air through viscous stresses and decelerates).

Transport phenomena & unit

operations

The study of transport phenomena is the basis for most of unit operations.

In many unit operations, such as distillation, all three transport phenomena ( i.e., fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer) occur often simultaneously.

Empiricism is often required because the exact mathematical equations cannot be solved.

Page 16: Transport phenomena

EQUILIBRIUM VS RATE

PROCESSES

A system in equilibrium means that all variables are constant with time ( Thermodynamics)

Non- equilibrium means that at least one variable changes with time ( Transport Phenomena).

In this case, we will have rate. They are four different rate processes: Rate of Momentum transfer Rate of Heat transfer Rate of Mass transfer Rate of Reaction ( Not covered in this course)

Page 17: Transport phenomena

Example of momentum

transfer Let’s consider two tanks with two different

pressures separated by a valve. When we open the valve, we will observe a

decrease of pressure in the tank having high pressure and increase in pressure in the tank with low pressure movement of molecules from high pressure to low pressure. Non –Equilibrium and ∆P= Driving Force.

When the two tanks reach the same pressure. There will be no more transfer: (Equilibrium state: thermodynamics Study)

Page 18: Transport phenomena

Example of molecular heat

transfer If we put two solids having different

temperatures side by side, we will observe a decrease of temperature of the hot solid and increase of temperature of the cold solid.

Molecular heat transfer by conduction Driving force: Difference in temperature

When the two solids reach the same temperature. No more movement of heat. Thermal Equilibrium.

Page 19: Transport phenomena

Example of molecular mass

transfer

Let’s consider two tanks with two different gases ( nitrogen & oxygen separated by a valve.

When we open the valve, we will observe a decrease of concentration of nitrogen in the tank having high concentration of nitrogen and increase in concentration of nitrogen in the tank with oxygen movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration. Non –Equilibrium and ∆C= Driving Force.

When the two tanks reach 50% of each gas, there will be no more mass transfer: (Equilibrium state: thermodynamics Study)

CASE OF HEAT TRANSFER

Driving Force: ∆T Temperature gradient

Page 23: Transport phenomena

Temperature Profile Consider a block of copper where all sides are

insulated so that heat conduction can occur only in the x-direction ( Figure 2.2).

At time t=t0 . The initial temperature of the block = 00C

Not let’s put the block between ice (00C) at the bottom and steam ( 1000C) at the top. The top temperature of the top is instantaneously ( t=t0) 1000C.

Some time later ( t=t1), we will observe a temperature profile between 00C and 1000C with a parabolic shape.

At t=t2, the profile will still be parabolic but flatter At t=t∞ ( steady state),the profile will become a

straight line.

Page 24: Transport phenomena

Observation The linear temperature profile is an

experimental observation and , provided enough time is allowed, this linear temperature profile will be observed as long as the temperature of the top and bottom remain respectively at 1000C and 00C.

The observation is attributed to the French scientist Fourier and the following equation is named after him:

(q/A)x= -k ( ∂T/∂x)

Page 25: Transport phenomena

Fourier Equation In the Fourier Equation:

1)q is the amount of heat transferred per unit time

2)A is the area3)x is considered the only direction of the

heat flux4)k is the thermal conductivity5)Since ( ∂T/∂x) and (q/A) have opposite

sign (Heat always flows from high temperatures to low temperatures), we need a negative sign.

Page 26: Transport phenomena

Class work

Calculate the steady state heat flux across a copper block 10 cm thick if one side is maintained at 00C and the other side at 1000C ( See figure 2.4). We also assume constant thermal conductivity k= 380 W.m-1.K-1

Page 27: Transport phenomena

Solution

(q/A)x= -k ( ∂T/∂x) Integration:

Page 28: Transport phenomena

The integration will become:

(q/A) x. ( x2 –x1)= -k ( T2-T1)

After putting the numbers ( q/A)2 = -

3.8 x 105 J.m-2.s-1

Page 29: Transport phenomena

Case of Mass Transfer Let’s study the concentration profile of a

liquid A in a membrane. At time t=t0 , the top of the membrane has a high concentration of liquid A (C A in moles/ m3) and, in the rest of the membrane there is no liquid A ( figure 2.2).

At time t=t1, material had diffused towards the bottom and the concentration is shown in Figure 2.2 .

After some time ( t=t∞) we will observe a straight line ( Like for the case of heat transfer)

Page 30: Transport phenomena

Observation

The observation is attributed to the scientist Fick in 1855 and the following equation is named after him:

Fick’s law:

(JA/A)x= -D ( ∂CA/∂x)

Page 31: Transport phenomena

Fick’s law In the Fick’s Equation:1)JA is the amount of A diffused per unit time2)A is the area of the transfer3)x is considered the only direction of the mass

transfer4)D is the coefficient of Diffusion or Diffusivity5)( ∂CA/∂x) is the concentration gradient 6) (JA/A)x is the molar flux. 7)Since they have opposite sign (Mass always

flows from high Concentrations to low Concentrations), we need a negative sign.

A) Find the molar flux B) Find the number of lbs of CO2 that pass

the tube of iron in one hour.

Page 33: Transport phenomena

The case of momentum Transfer

Let’s consider a fluid maintained between two plates having an area A. The lower plate is a stationary plate and a force is applied to the upper plate to move with a velocity V. Because of the internal friction in the fluid due to viscosity, the fluid will move between the two plates at different velocities varying from V to zero.

In momentum transfer, we need two coordinates:1)coordinate x is the direction of the velocity Vx

2) coordinate y is the direction of the change of velocity

Page 34: Transport phenomena

Observation

As shown in Figure 2.2 ,at time t=0, the upper plate has velocity V (due to force F) and the rest of the fluid has velocity equal to zero.

With time, some fluid between the plates start to move . The layer of fluid which is closest to the upper plate starts to move first and then the others.

At time t =t∞ , we will have a linear velocity gradient.

The following observation is named : Newton’s law

Page 35: Transport phenomena

Newton’s Law

F is the force applied on the upper plate A is the area of the two plates F/A is called Shear Stress which is called

the momentum flux ζ Newton’s law of viscosity is :

ζ yx= F/A= -μ(∂Ux/∂y)

Page 36: Transport phenomena

Two parallel plates are 10 cm apart. The bottom plate is stationary and the upper plate has a velocity of 30 cm.s-1

If the fluid has a viscosity of 1 centipoise ( 0.001 kg.m-1.s-1), calculate the momentum flux

MOMENTUM, HEAT AND MASS DIFFUSIVITIES

Page 38: Transport phenomena

Introduction In the previous chapter, an analogy between the

molecular transports has been developed. The Fourier, Fick and Newton equations are all empirical and have the same form.

The mechanism is not the same: 1) Molecular diffusion occurs in multicomponent

mixtures with a concentration gradient as the driving force.

2) Momentum transfer occurs perpendicular to the direction of the flow ( the direction of the pressure drop that causes the flow).

3) Heat transfer occurs by molecular transport ( conduction) in solids, does not involve flow or relative motion of the molecules

Page 39: Transport phenomena

The Different Diffusivities

The respective constants in these three equations are:

1) D: Diffusivity of Coefficient of diffusion which unit is m2.s-1

2) μ: Viscosity which unit is kg.m-1.s-1

3) k: Thermal conductivity which unit is W.m-1.K-1

Page 40: Transport phenomena

D: DiffusivityI) The coefficient of diffusion is the simplest

property because other properties are not involved. However, it is also the most difficult to measure because:

A) there should be no velocity B) the diffusivity is very small in magnitude ( 10-

5).II) Diffusivity of binary mixtures increases with

temperature but not linearly and decreases with pressure because pressure reduces movements of molecules.

III) They are a large differences between diffusivities of gases, liquids and solids ( Table 2.2 page 49).

Page 41: Transport phenomena

Effects of temperature and pressure

of the Diffusivity

They are a number of equations available in the literature for estimating diffusivities in gases.

D0 known at P0 and T0 (K) and the exponent n varies from 1.75 and 2.0 over a range of normal temperatures and pressures. With pressure below 5 atm, there is no concentration dependence of the coefficient of diffusion.

Page 42: Transport phenomena

Class Work

Predict the diffusivity of water vapor in air at 2 atm and 75 0C, if the coefficient of diffusion is 0.219x10-4m2.s-1 at 1atm and 00C and assuming that the exponent n is equal to 1.75.

Page 43: Transport phenomena

k= Thermal Conductivity The two important properties of materials in heat

transfer are thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity.

We are interested in thermal conductivity. Table 2.2 gives some typical values.

The thermal conductivity of gases can be predicted more accurately than the thermal conductivity of liquids and solids because in gases, the energy is directly carried by molecules while for liquids and solids, other mechanisms are involved.

Since heat transfer is related to molecular collisions, the thermal conductivity of liquids and solids is much larger than gases. Water vapor at 1000C has k= 0.0248 W.m-1.K-1 and water liquid at 1000C has k= 0.68 W.m-1.K-1 ( Table 2.2)

Page 44: Transport phenomena

μ= Viscosity In general, the viscosity of gases

increases with temperature at low pressures while that of liquids usually decreases.

For gases as rigid spheres and at low pressures ( < 10 atm), the variation of viscosity is related to the square root of temperature in absolute unit ( K or R). In reality, the power varies from 0.6 to 1.

In general, we have Where A and B are constants.

Page 45: Transport phenomena

For Liquids The viscosity of gases is independent of pressure.

Of course the kinematic viscosity of gases depends both on pressure and temperature.

For liquids, the theories are not very well developed as for gases. An approximate empirical observation for the temperature is

Where A and B are empirical constants. Because liquids are incompressible, the viscosity does not depend on pressure.

The fluids that follow Newton’s law are called Newtonian fluids. The others are called non-Newtonian fluids.

Page 46: Transport phenomena

Class Work

From Table 2.2 , estimate the constants A and B for air at low pressures using the viscosity at 280K and 400 K.

From Table 2.2 , estimate A and B/R for water liquid using viscosity at 373.15K and 273.15K.

In fluid mechanics, the most useful equations are based on the principle of mass balance or continuity equation.

The equations are first written in differential form. The be useful

Heat transfer by conduction Fourier's law is the basic law. STEADY STATE CONDUCTION:

1) In figure 10.1a, a flat wall insulated tank contains a refrigerant at – 100C while the air is at 280C.

2) The temperature falls linearly with distance across the layer as heat flows from air to refrigerant.

3) In figure 10.1.b, a similar tank contains boiling water losing heat to the atmosphere at 200C.

4) As in Figure 10.1.a, there is a temperature profile but heat flows in the reverse direction.

Page 62: Transport phenomena

Mass Transfer

The most common cause of diffusion ( driving force) is a concentration gradient. The driving force tends to move a component in a direction as to equalize the concentrations ( destroy the gradient).

In R.O. the activity gradient is the driving force for diffusion of water from low concentration to higher concentration of water.

Diffusion can be at molecular transfer through stagnant layers. Eddy diffusion is related to mixing ( Macroscopic level) and turbulent flow.

Page 63: Transport phenomena

Theory of Diffusion

As we have studied, there are similarities (analogy) between conduction of heat and transfer of mass by diffusion. The driving force in heat transfer is temperature gradient and in diffusion is concentration gradient.

Differences between mass and heat transfer result from the fact that heat is not a substance but energy in transit whereas diffusion is the physical flow of material.

Page 64: Transport phenomena

Four types of situations

1) Only one component A of the mixture is transferred to or from the interface ( Ex: Absorption of CO2 in amine solution)

The diffusion of component A is balanced by an equal and opposite diffusion of a component B ( Ex: Distillation: There is no net volume flow in the gas

A and B diffuse in the opposite direction with different flows ( from a surface of a catalyst)

Different components diffuse in the same direction with different rates ( membrane separation).

Page 65: Transport phenomena

Diffusion quantities

1) velocity u defined usually as length.time-1

2) Flux across a plane N (mol.area-1 .time-

1 ) 3) Flux relative to a plane of zero velocity

J ( mol.area-1 .time-1) 4) Concentration c and molar density ρM

5) concentration gradient dc/dt where b is the length of the path perpendicular to the area across which diffusion occurs.

Page 66: Transport phenomena

Velocities , Molar flow, Flux

Several velocities are needed to describe the movements of individual substances and the total phase. Since absolute motion has no meaning, any velocity should have a reference state of rest.

N= ρM .u0

ρM is the molar density of the mixture u0 is the volumetric average velocity For components A & B:

Diffusivities are defined relatively to global movement:JA= cA.uA - cA.u0 = cA( uA-u0) JB= cB.uB - cB.u0 = cB( uB-u0)

Introduction:

Chemical Engineers are always concerned with the flow of the fluids through the pipes, tubes and channels with non circular cross-section

Page 76: Transport phenomena

Shear Stress & Skin Friction in Pipes

Considering a steady state flow of fluid of constant density in fully developed flow trough a horizontal pipe.

From Figure 5.1 page 95: A small element of the fluid is considered as disk-shaped element of fluid with the axis of the tube, of radius r and length dL.

Let the fluid pressures be p and (p+dp) respectively.

Since the element has a velocity, there is a shear force FS opposing the flow will exist.

Page 77: Transport phenomena

MOMEMTUM EQUATION

Applying the momentum equation:

∑ F = pa.Sa – pb.Sb + FW –Fg

Where: 1) pa and pb = inlet and outlet pressures Sa and Sb = inlet and outlet cross

sections. Fw= net force of wall of channel on nfluid Fg = component of force of gravity

Page 78: Transport phenomena

Applying the momentum equation between the two faces of the disk (Figure 5.1): ∑ F = pa.Sa – pb.Sb + FW –Fg

Since the fluid is fully developed ∑ F =

0 .

pa.Sa = ∏r2p pb.Sb = ∏r2 (p+dp) FW = 2∏.r.dL.ζ Fg = 0 ( horizontal tube)

Page 79: Transport phenomena

Momentum Equation

∑ F= ∏r2p - ∏r2 (p+dp)- 2∏.r.dL.ζ = 0 Dividing by ∏r2dL, we will obtain: ( dp/dL)

+ (2ζ /r) = 0

In steady flow, either laminar or turbulent: the equation can be applied to the entire cross section:

( dp/dL) + (2ζw /rw) = 0 where ζw is the shear stree at the wall rw is the radius of the tube.

Page 80: Transport phenomena

Subtracting the two above equations, we will obtain:

ζw /rw = ζ /r

At r=0 ζ =0 ( Figure 5.2 page 96)

We assume :same height ZA=ZB ; same velocity: VA=VB

pA-pB= ∆p= pressure drop between two points

The only kind of friction is skin friction hfs

Friction factor in turbulent flow

For turbulent flow, the fanny factor (f) is usually used:

f= 2.ζw/ρ.V2

V2/2 is the velocity head in Bernoulli equation.

Page 84: Transport phenomena

hfs = (2.ζw.L)/( ρ.rw)= (4/ρ). ζw. (L/D) = (∆ps/ρ)

Page 85: Transport phenomena

Friction Factor Chart

For design purposes, we need a friction factor chart. The chart is a log-log chart relating the friction factor f to the Reynolds number.

For turbulent flow, it is more convenient to use the following equations than the chart.

50,000 < Re< 106 f= 0.046 Re-0.2

Mach Number

The Mach Number ( Ma) is defined as the ratio of u, speed of the fluid, to a, speed of the sound in the fluid under the conditions of flow.

Ma = u/a Sonic Fluid: When the Mach number is

equal to unity. Speed of the fluid is equal speed of the sound in the same at the pressure and temperature of the fluid.

Page 91: Transport phenomena

Subsonic Flow: Mach number is less than unity

Supersonic Flow: Mach number is higher than unity.

The most important problem in compressible fluids flow lie in the high velocity range where Mach numbers are higher to unity and flow are supersonic.

Page 92: Transport phenomena

Assumptions made

The flow is steady. The flow is one-dimensional. Velocity gradients within cross section are

neglected. Friction only in walls Shaft work is zero Gravitational effects are negligeable Fluid is an ideal gas.

Page 93: Transport phenomena

Basic relations

friction The equation of the velocity of sound The equation of state of ideal gas

Page 94: Transport phenomena

Continuity equation

dm= ρ.u.dS can be rewritten in the logarithmic form:

ln ρ + ln u + ln S = constant

Differentiating the equation:

Page 95: Transport phenomena

Total-Energy Balance

A fluid in steady flow through a system, entering at station a with velocity ua and enthalpy Ha and leaving at velocity ub and enthalpy Hb. Assuming only heat added, we will have:

(Q/m)= (Hb- Ha ) + [( u2b

Page 96: Transport phenomena

Mechanical Energy balance

After using our assumptions, we will have:

(dp/ρ) + d(u2/2) + (u2.f.dL)/2.rH) = 0

Page 97: Transport phenomena

Velocity of Sound

The velocity of sound through a continuous material is also called the acoustical velocity.

The acoustical velocity is the velocity of a very small compression wave moving adiabatically and frictionlessly through the medium.

Thermodynamically, the motion of a sound wave is isentropic.

Stagnation Temperature

The stagnation temperature of a high speed fluid is defined as the temperature of the fluid brought adiabatically to a rest position ( v=0) without shaft work.

Using the total energy equation without heat exchange Q, we will obtain:

Hs- H = (u2/2)= where Hs is the stagnation enthalpy where vS=0

Page 103: Transport phenomena

Using the enthalpy equation: H= H0 + cp. ( T-T0), we will get: Ts= T + (u2/2cp) and Hs= H + (u2/2)

INTRODUCTION Heat transfer from a warmer fluid to a cooler

fluid, usually through a solid wall, is common in chemical engineering.

Latent heat: heat transfer causing phase change such as condensers and evaporators.

Sensible heat: rise in temperature in solid, liquid or gas phases without change of phase.

Equipments: we have :

a) Double pipe heat exchanger ( Figure 11.3 page 317)

b) Shell and tube heat exchanger ( Figure 11.1 page 316)

Page 113: Transport phenomena

Counter-Current & Parallel

Flow

Parallel Flow:When the two fluids enter at the same end

of the heat exchanger ( Figure 11.4 b page 318)

Counter-current Flow:When the two fluids enter at different ends

of the heat exchanger ( Figure 11.4.a page 318)

Page 114: Transport phenomena

Energy Balances ( steady state) Rates of heat transfer are based on energy

balances. In heat exchangers, we can neglect any shaft

work, mechanical, potential and kinetic energies compared to the heat exchange.

Therefore, the total energy conservation for each stream can be written as:

m ( Hb-Ha) = q

m= mass flow rate of the considered streamHb,Ha = enthalpies by unit mass at the exit

and entrance of the considered stream.q= rate of heat transfer from or to the

considered stream

Page 115: Transport phenomena

Energy balances For the hot stream:

mh ( Hhb –Hha ) = qh For the cold stream:

mc ( Hcb –Hca ) = qcSince the hot stream gives heat:

qh is negative and qc is positive qh= -qc

Page 116: Transport phenomena

Energy balances

mh ( Hha –Hhb )= mc ( Hcb –Hca ) = q

Page 117: Transport phenomena

Energy balances for sensible heat

mh.cph ( Tha –Thb )= mc.cpc ( Tcb

–Tca ) = q

Page 118: Transport phenomena

In a Total Condenser

Condensation of a saturated vapor to saturated liquid and increase of temperature of the other fluid:

mh. λ = mc.cpc ( Tcb –Tca ) = q

if condensate leaves condenser at temperature lower than Thb, we will have:

mh.[λ + cph (Th-Thb)] = mc.cpc(Tcb

–Tca)= q

Page 120: Transport phenomena

DEFINITIONS

Heat flux: rate of heat transfer per unit area. Heat fluxes can be based on the internal or external area. The heat flux will not be the same.

Average temperature of fluid stream: If the fluid is heated, the maximum

temperature is located at the wall of the tube and decreases towards the center of the stream.

Page 121: Transport phenomena

DEFINITIONS Overall Heat-Transfer coefficient: In a heat exchanger, the driving force is

taken as ( Th-Tc), where Th is the average temperature of the hot fluid and Tc is the average temperature of the cold fluid.

The difference (Th-Tc) is the overall local temperature difference ∆T. Using Figure 11.4, ∆T changes considerably from point to point along the tube.

Since the flux depends on ∆T, the flux also varies along the tube.

The local flux is therefore related to the local ∆T.

Page 122: Transport phenomena

Local overall heat-transfer coefficient

(dq/dA)= U.∆T= U.( Th-Tc) Or:

U= (dq/dA)/∆Tdq/dA= local flux∆T= local difference of temperature

Page 123: Transport phenomena

DEFINITION OF U

For a tubular heat exchanger, it is necessary to specify the area ( inside or outside).

For the outside area A0 U0

For the inside area Ai Ui

Since ∆T and dq are independent:(U0/Ui) = ( Di/D0)

Page 124: Transport phenomena

AFTER INTEGRATION

ln ( ∆T1/ ∆T2)= [U(∆T2- ∆T1].AT/qT

qT= [U(∆T2- ∆T1)].AT/ ln ( ∆T1/ ∆T2)= U.AT.∆TL

∆TL = ∆T2- ∆T1/ ln ( ∆T1/ ∆T2)

Page 125: Transport phenomena

CLASSIFICATIONSI) Convection can be classified as

natural or forced depending on how the fluid motion is initiated.

a) In forced convection; the fluid is forced to move over a surface or in a pipe by external means such as a pump or a fan.

b) In natural convection, any fluid motion is caused by natural means such as buoyancy effect, which manifests itself as the rise of warmer fluid and the fall of cooler fluid.

Page 131: Transport phenomena

II) Convection can also be classified as external or internal:

a) External: Fluid forced to flow over a surface

b) Internal: Fluid forced to flow inside a pipe

Page 132: Transport phenomena

Heat transfer by convection

Heat transfer by convection is similar to heat transfer by conduction because both mechanism require a presence of material medium.

However, conduction requires a solid surface but convection requires a fluid in motion.

Page 133: Transport phenomena

Newton’s law of cooling

Despite the complexity of convection, the rate of heat transfer is observed to be proportional to the temperature difference and is expressed by the Newton’s law of cooling:

Qconv= h.AS(TS-T∞)h= convection heat transfer coefficient (

W/m2.0C)AS= Surface area of heat transfer m2

TS= Temperature of the surface 0CT∞ = Temperature of the fluid far from the

surface

Page 134: Transport phenomena

No Slip Condition? Observations show that fluid in motion comes to

a complete stop at the surface and zero velocity is assumed.

Therefore, the fluid in direct contact with the surface sticks to the surface due to viscous effects and there is no slip. This is known as No-Slip Condition.

An implication of no-slip condition is that heat transfer from the surface to the fluid is pure conduction and Fourier's law is applied.

qconv=qcond= -k ( dT/dy)y=0

Page 135: Transport phenomena

H=convection heat ransfer coefficient

Equating the two equations, we will obtain:

h= - k [( dT/dy)y=0/ ( TS-T∞)]

Page 136: Transport phenomena

Nusselt Number?

A dimensionless number that measures the effects of heat convection on heat conduction:

Nu= h.LC/ kLc= is a characteristic length.1) High Nusselt number means convection

more important than conduction.2) Low Nusselt numbers means conduction

more important that convection.

Page 138: Transport phenomena

Viscous & inviscid regions of flow

Convection heat transfer is related to fluid mechanics and fluid flows need to be included.

Two layers of a fluid in motion create friction or an internal resistance to flow called viscosity.

There is no fluid with zero viscosity. Neglecting the viscous effects, we call the flow inviscid.

Page 139: Transport phenomena

Internal & external Flow

Internal flow: Fluid forced to flow in confined channel. Flow completely bounded by solid surfaces. Viscous effects important.

External flow: fluid forced to flow over a surface. In external flow, viscous effects are limited

Page 140: Transport phenomena

Compressible/incompressible fluids

Compressible fluids (Gases): important density change with pressure. A pressure change of 0.01 atm can cause density of air changes by 1%. Of atmospheric air.

Incompressible fluids ( Liquids): almost no density change with pressure. For example, a pressure of 210 atm causes the density change of water at 1 atm by just 1%.

Incompressible gases approximation depends on the Mach Number

Ma= u/a

Page 141: Transport phenomena

Condition for Incompressible gases

If density changes by a maximum of 5% which is usually the case at Ma < 0.3

Incompressibility effects of air can be neglected at speeds lower than 100 m/s.

Page 142: Transport phenomena

Laminar & Turbulent Flows

Laminar flow is smooth and parabolic because of low velocities ( high viscosity liquids).

Turbulent is chaotic because of high velocities ( low viscosity gases).

Page 143: Transport phenomena

Steady & unsteady state flows

Steady means no change at a point with time dx/dt=0

Unsteady means change at a point with time dx/dt ≠ 0

Page 144: Transport phenomena

Velocity boundary layer Velocity boundary layer develops when a fluid

flows over a surface as a result of the fluid layer adjacent to the surface assuming zero velocity.

Considering the movement of a flow over a flat plate.

Fluid flows with velocity V Because of No-slip condition, velocity at the

surface is zero. The velocity boundary layer is defined as a

thickness δ from the surface, where the local velocity u = 0.99V.

In the same way as Velocity Boundary layer, Thermal boundary layer develops when a fluid at a specified temperature T∞

flows over a surface at different temperature TS

Thermal boundary layer δT is defined as the position in the fluid from the surface where T-TS= 0.99 ( T-T∞ )

If TS=0 T=0.99. T∞

Page 147: Transport phenomena

Prandtl Number

The relative thickness of the velocity and the thermal boundary layers is best described by the dimensionless parameter Prandtl number defined as :

INTRODUCTION Heat transfer is governed by three distinct

mechanisms: convection, conduction, and radiation.

Unlike convection or conduction, heat transfer through radiation does not occur through a particular medium.

To understand this phenomenon one must enter into the atomic or quantum realm. All atoms, at finite temperatures, are continuously in motion.

Consequently, it may be understood that the mechanism of radiation is derived from the energetic vibrations and oscillations of these atomic particles, namely electrons.

Page 154: Transport phenomena

METAL WORK BY HEAT

Radiation

Page 156: Transport phenomena

THEORY OF RADIATION James Clark Maxwell established in 1864 the theory of

radiation.

Thermal radiation is a direct result of the movements of atoms and molecules in a material. Since these atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles (protons and electrons), their movements result in the emission of electromagnetic radiation, which carries energy away from the surface.

Since the amount of emitted radiation increases with increasing temperature, a net transfer of energy from higher temperatures to lower temperatures results.

Page 157: Transport phenomena

Electromagnetic radiation

Electromagnetic radiation or waves transport energy and all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is c0= 2.9979. 108m/s.

Electromagnetic waves are characterized by their frequency ν or wavelength λ.

Page 158: Transport phenomena

C= SPEED OF PROPAGATION

OF HEAT

The speed of propagation of a wave in a medium is defined by : λ=c/ν

the speed of propagation in a medium is related to the speed of light in a vacuum by: c=c0/n where n is the index of refraction of that medium.

The refractive index is essentially: a)unity for air and most gases.b)1.5 for glassc)1.33 for water

Page 159: Transport phenomena

ν=frequency of an electromagnetic

wave The commonly used unit of wavelength is

micrometer (μm). Unlike wavelength (λ) and speed of

propagation (c), the frequency of an electromagnetic wave (ν) depends only on the source and independent on the medium through which the wave travels.

the frequency ( oscillations per second) of an electromagnetic wave can range from less than a million (106) Hz to a septilion (1024) Hz or higher.

Page 160: Transport phenomena

Max Plank: Energy of Photons

In 1900, Max Planck proposed that Electromagnetic radiation is considered as the propagation of a collection of discrete packets of energy called photons or quanta.

Each photon of frequency ν is considered to have an energy of :

e= h.ν= h.c/λ h is the Plank’s constant = 6.626069 10-34J.s

Page 161: Transport phenomena

Thermal Radiation Thermal radiation is continuously emitted by

all matter whose temperature is above absolute zero.

Thermal radiation is also defined as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from about 0.1 to 100 μm.

Thermal radiation includes all visible and Infrared (IR) radiation as well as a portion of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Light is the visible portion of electromagnetic waves from 0.4 to 0.76 μm. Solar radiation falls in the range 0.3-3 μm

Page 162: Transport phenomena

BLACKBODY RADIATION A blackbody is an idealized body to serve

as standard against which the radiative properties of real surfaces may be compared.

A blackbody is defined as perfect emitter and absorber of radiation.

At a specified temperature and wavelength, no surface can emit more energy than a blackbody.

A blackbody absorbs all incident radiation. a blackbody emits radiation uniformly in

all directions.

Page 163: Transport phenomena

RADIATION EMITTED BY A

BLACKBODY

In 1879, Joseph Stefan determined experimentally that the radiation emitted by a blackbody per unit time and unit surface can be described by the blackbody emisive power Eb(T) :

Eb(T)= σ.T4

The Stefan-Boltzmann Constant σ = 5.67 108 W/m2.K4

Equation theoretically verified in 1884 by Ludwig Boltzmann.

Page 164: Transport phenomena

Definition of Large capacity

body

Another type of body that closely resembles to a blackbody is a large capacity with a small opening ( Figure 12.8, page 667).

Radiation coming through the small opening undergoes multiple reflections and thus it has several chances to be absorbed by the interior surfaces of the cavity before any part of it can escape.

Page 165: Transport phenomena

Spectral blackbody emissive

It is defined as the amount of radiation energy emitted by a blackbody at a thermodynamic temperature T per unit time and unit area and per unit wavelength about the wavelength λ.

Page 168: Transport phenomena

From the figure

The emitted radiation is a continuous function of wavelength

At a specific temperature, it increases with wavelength, reaches a peak and then decreases with increasing wavelength.

At any wavelength, the amount of emitted radiation increases with temperature.

Radiation emitted by sun , blackbody, at 5780 K reaches its peak in the visible region.

Page 169: Transport phenomena

Maximum Power As the temperature increases, the peak of

the curves shifts to the shorter wavelength.

The wavelength at which the peak occurs for a specified temperature is given by Wien’s displacement law:

(λ.T)max.power= 2897.8 μm.K

The peak for solar radiation occurs at 2897.8/ 5780 = 0.50 μm.

The peak of radiation emitted by a surface at room temperature ( 298K) is 2897.8/298 = 9.7 μm
