Heat transfer from laminar flow in ducts with elliptic cross-section

Summary The cooling of a hot fluid in laminar Newtonian flow through cooled elliptic tubes has been calculated theoretically. Numerical data have been computed for the two values 1.25 and 4 of the axial ratio of the elliptic cross-section . For =1.25 the influence of non-zero thermal resistance between outmost fluid layer and isothermal surroundings has also been investigated. Special attention has been given to the distribution of heat flux around the perimeter; when increases the flux varies more with the position at the circumference. This positional dependence becomes less pronounced, however, as the (position-independent) thermal resistance of the wall increases.Flattening of the conduit, while maintaining its cross-sectional area constant, improves the cooling. Comparison with rectangular pipes shows that this improvement is not as marked with elliptic as with rectangular pipes.Nomenclature A _k =A _{m, n} coefficients of expansion (6) - a, b half-axes of ellipse, b<a - a _p =a _{r, s} coefficients of representation (V) - D hydraulic diameter, = 4S/P; S = cross-sectional area, P = perimeter - D _e equivalent diameter, according to (13) - n coordinate (outward) normal to the tube wall - T temperature of fluid - T _i temperature of fluid at the inlet - T _s temperature of surroundings - v ₀ mean velocity of fluid - v _z longitudinal velocity of fluid - x, y carthesian coordinates coinciding with axes of ellipse - z coordinate in flow direction - , dimensionless half-axes of ellipse, =a/D and =b/D - _t heat transfer coefficient from fluid at bulk temperature to surroundings; equation (11) - _w heat transfer coefficient at the wall; equation (3) - axial ratio of ellipse, = a/b = / - , , , dimensionless coordinates; =x/D, =y/D, =z/D, =n/D - dimensionless temperature, = (T–T _s)/(T _i–T _s) - ₀ cup-mixing mean value of ; equation (10) - thermal conductivity of fluid - _m,n = _k eigenvalue - c volumetric heat capacity of fluid - _{m, n} = _k = _k eigenfunction; equations (6) and (I) - Nu total Nusselt number, = _t D/ - Nusselt number at large distance from the inlet - Nu _w wall Nusselt number, = _w D/, based on _w - Pé Péclet number, = ₀ Dc/

Void fraction and pressure fluctuations of bubbly flow in a vertical annular channel

In this investigation some hydrodynamic characteristics of two phase, two component, air water bubbly flow in a vertical annulus were studied. In particular, the void fraction profiles, and the pressure fluctuations were measured by the electrical resistivity probe and a capacitive type differential transducer respectively. These measurements were assessed under various system parameters, viz the air and water flux, the perforation ratio (Area of holes/channel cross sectional area) and the dimensionless axial distance. In addition, the pressure drop calculated from the void fraction measurements was in very good agreement with the corresponding one measured by the pressure transducers.List of symbols D _eq equivalent diameter of the annular channel (m) - j flux (discharge/channel cross sectional area) (m/s) - m mass flow rate (kg/s) - P pressure (Pa) - AP static pressure difference along the test section (Pa) - P pressure fluctuations (Pa) - P ^* dimensionless pressure (P _m/P _S.P. ) - P dimensionless pressure fluctuations (P _max /P _T.P. ) - r radius (m) - z axial distance (m) Greek symbols void fraction - dimensionless axial distance (Z/Dimeq) - perforation ratio (area of holes/channel cross sectional area) - density (kg/m3) - time (s) - dimensionless radial distance (r–r _i )/(r _o-r _i ) Suffix g gas - i inner - L liquid - m mean - Max Maximum - O outer - S.P. single-phase - T.P. two-phase     

Rheologie pathologischer Gelenkflüssigkeiten

Zusammenfassung Die eingehende Analyse des viskoelastischen Verhaltens von 193 Kniegelenkspunktaten verschiedenster entzündlicher und nichtentzündlicher Gelenkerkrankungen ließ keine wesentlichen diagnostischen Hilfen für klinische Problemfälle erkennen. Untersucht wurden im einzelnen Fließkurven einschließlich der Anfangsviskosität ₀ und durch eine Normierungsmethode ermittelte master-curves, sowie Normalspannungen und in 3 Fällen gleichzeitig auch der SpeichermodulG und der VerlustmodulG mit Hilfe von dynamischen Messungen.Durch Vergleich der pathologischen Gelenkpunktate mit normaler, post mortal gewonnener gepoolter Synovia ließ sich ein Eindruck vom Grad der gestörten Viskoelastizität gewinnen. Dabei lassen die erniedrigten Hyaluronsäure-Konzentrationen, die Veränderungen der konzentrationsunabhängigen Knickzeitt _k> und die master-curve erkennen, daß hierfür sowohl eine verringerte Konzentration als auch ein geringeres Molekulargewicht der Hyaluronsäure verantwortlich ist. Konzentrierungsversuche pathologischer Synovia ergaben den Hinweis auf die Entstehung von Mikrogelen und ließen in Fällen zuvor fehlender Normalspannungen auch nach der Eindickung keine Normalspannungen erkennen. Es wird deshalb auch die Möglichkeit gestörter intermolekularer Interaktionen in der pathologischen Synovia diskutiert.

Summary A thorough analysis of the viscoelastic behaviour of 193 synovial fluid samples of knee joints concerning different joint diseases (inflammatory and non-inflammatory) gives no essential diagnostic help in case of clinical problems.Investigations were done particularly on flow curves including the Newtonian viscosity ₀ and normal forces, and with the help of a standardization-method we got master curves. In three cases we also got dynamic properties i.e. the elastic modulusG and the loss modulusG. By comparison of the pathological synovial fluid samples with normal, post-mortem pooled synovial fluid one gets an idea of the degree of disturbance on viscoelasticity. It was found that the reduced concentration and the lower molecular weight of the hyaluronic acid are responsible for the pathological variation of the concentration independent bending timet _k as well as the shape of the master curves.Tests on concentrated pathological synovial fluids indicate the beginning formation of micro-gels. In cases of absence of normal forces even after concentration no normal forces could be detected. Therefore the possibility of disturbed intermolecular interactions in pathological synovial fluids will be discussed, too.

A three-parameter model describing the behaviour of a viscoelastic liquid in a tangential annular flow

A three-parameter model describing the shear rate-shear stress relation of viscoelastic liquids and in which each parameter has a physical significance, is applied to a tangential annular flow in order to calculate the velocity profile and the shear rate distribution. Experiments were carried out with a 5000 wppm aqueous solution of polyacrylamide and different types of rheometers. In a shear-rate range of seven decades (5 10^–3 s^–1 < < 1.2 10⁵ s^–1) a good agreement is obtained between apparent viscosities calculated with our model and those measured with three different types of rheometers, i.e. Couette rheometers, a cone-and-plate rheogoniometer and a capillary tube rheometer. a physical quantity defined by:a = {1 – ( / ₀)}/ ₀ (Pa^–1) - C constant of integration (1) - r distancer from the center (m) - r ₁,r ₂ radius of the inner and outer cylinder (m) - v _r local tangential velocity at a distancer from the center (v _r = _r r) (m s^–1) - v ₂ local tangential velocity at a distancer ₂ from the center (m s^–1) - shear rate (s^–1) - local shear rate (s^–1) - ₁ wall shear rate at the inner cylinder (s^–1) - dynamic viscosity (Pa s) - _a apparent viscosity (_a = / ) (Pa s) - _a1 apparent viscosity at the inner cylinder (Pa s) - ₀ zero-shear viscosity (Pa s) - infinite-shear viscosity (Pa s) - shear stress (Pa) - _r local shear stress at a distancer from the center (Pa) - ₀ yield stress (Pa) - ₁, ₂ wall shear-stress at the inner and outer cylinder (Pa) - _r local angular velocity (s^–1) - ₂ angular velocity of the outer cylinder (s^–1)     

Gas-lubricated spherical radial bearings

An approximate small-parameter solution of the Reynolds equation describing the pressure distribution in a hemispherical (0==0, ₊=/2 gasdynamic beating was proposed by Pan [1], Unfortunately, it is not suitable for spherical bearings with arbitrary included angle and contains essential inexactnesse with relation to the boundary condition at the end of the bearing. In the following the small-parameter method is used to solve approximately the Reynolds equation for a bearing with arbitrary included angle. In the general case the solution is expressed in terms of Lengendre functions with complex index. Formulas for calculating these functions are presented. The solution is represented in elementary functions for sufficiently small or sufficiently large values of the compressibility number.In conclusion the author wishes to thank A. V. Militsin and P. P. Mostovenko for assistance in carrying out the calculations.     

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media V: Geometrical results for two-dimensional systems

In this paper we continue the geometrical studies of computer generated two-phase systems that were presented in Part IV. In order to reduce the computational time associated with the previous three-dimensional studies, the calculations presented in this work are restricted to two dimensions. This allows us to explore more thoroughly the influence of the size of the averaging volume and to learn something about the use of anon-representative region in the determination of averaged quantities.

Instability of a plane axisymmetric flow with a shear discontinuity in the velocity profile

It is proposed to investigate the stability of a plane axisymmetric flow with an angular velocity profile (r) such that the angular velocity is constant when r < r_O – L and r > r_O + L but varies monotonically from ₁ to ₂ near the point r_O, the thickness of the transition zone being small L r_O, whereas the change in velocity is not small ¦₂ – ₁¦ ₂, ₁. Obviously, as L O short-wave disturbances with respect to the azimuthal coordinate (k=m/r_O 1/r_O) will be unstable with a growth rate-close to the Kelvin—Helmholtz growth rate. In the case L=O (i.e., for a profile with a shear-discontinuity) we find the instability growth rate _O and show that where the thickness of the discontinuity L is finite (but small) the growth rate does not differ from _O up to terms proportional to kL 1 and 1/m 1. Using this example it is possible to investigate the effect of rotation on the flow stability. It is important to note that stabilization (or destabilization) of the flow in question by rotation occurs only for three-dimensional or axisymmetric perturbations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 111–114, January–February, 1985.     

Chaos and integrability in a nonlinear wave equation

We consider the parametrized family of equations _tt ,u- _xx u-au+u ₂ ² u=O,x(0,L), with Dirichlet boundary conditions. This equation has finite-dimensional invariant manifolds of solutions. Studying the reduced equation to a four-dimensional manifold, we prove the existence of transversal homoclinic orbits to periodic solutions and of invariant sets with chaotic dynamics, provided that =2, 3, 4,.... For =1 we prove the existence of infinitely many first integrals pairwise in involution.     

Reservoir transport equations by compositional approach

The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the fundamental equations governing transport phenomena in compressible reservoirs. A general mathematical model is presented for important thermo-mechanical processes operative in a reservoir. Such a formulation includes equations governing multiphase fluid (gas-water-hydrocarbon) flow, energy transport, and reservoir skeleton deformation. The model allows phase changes due to gas solubility. Furthermore, Terzaghi's concept of effective stress and stress-strain relations are incorporated into the general model. The functional relations among various model parameters which cause the nonlinearity of the system of equations are explained within the context of reservoir engineering principles. Simplified equations and appropriate boundary conditions have also been presented for various cases. It has been demonstrated that various well-known equations such as Jacob, Terzaghi, Buckley-Leverett, Richards, solute transport, black-oil, and Biot equations are simplifications of the compositional model.Notation List B reservoir thickness - B formation volume factor of phase - Cⁱ mass of component i dissolved per total volume of solution - C ⁱ mass fraction of component i in phase - C heat capacity of phase at constant volume - C_p heat capacity of phase at constant pressure - D ⁱ hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of component i in phase - D_MTf thermal liquid diffusivity for fluid f - F = F(x, y, z, t) defines the boundary surface - f_p fractional flow of phase - g gravitational acceleration - H_p enthalpy per unit mass of phase - J_p volumetric flux of phase - k_rf relative permeability to fluid f - k₀ absolute permeability of the medium - M_p ⁱ mass of component i in phase - n porosity - N rate of accretion - P_f pressure in fluid f - p_ca capillary pressure between phases and =p-p - Rⁱ rate of mass transfer of component i from phase to phase - Rⁱ _source source rate of component i within phase - S saturation of phase - s gas solubility - T temperature - t time - U displacement vector - u velocity in the x-direction - v velocity in the y-direction - V volume of phase - V_s velocity of soil solids - W_i body force in coordinate direction i - x horizontal coordinate - z vertical coordinate Greek Letters _p volumetric coefficient of compressibility - _T volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion - _ij Kronecker delta - volumetric strain - _m thermal conductivity of the whole matrix - internal energy per unit mass of phase - gf suction head - density of phase - _ij tensor of total stresses - _ij tensor of effective stresses - volumetric content of phase - f viscosity of fluid f     

LDV measurements of a turbulent air-solid two-phase flow in a 90° bend

Simultaneous measurements of the mean streamwise and radial velocities and the associated Reynolds stresses were made in an air-solid two-phase flow in a square sectioned (10×10 cm) 90° vertical to horizontal bend using laser Doppler velocimetry. The gas phase measurements were performed in the absence of solid particles. The radius ratio of the bend was 1.76. The results are presented for two different Reynolds numbers, 2.2×10⁵ and 3.47×10⁵, corresponding to mass ratios of 1.5×10^–4 and 9.5×10^–5, respectively. Glass spheres 50 and 100 m in diameter were employed to represent the solid phase. The measurements of the gas and solid phase were performed separately. The streamwise velocity profiles for the gas and the solids crossed over near the outer wall with the solids having the higher speed near the wall. The solid velocity profiles were quite flat. Higher negative slip velocities are observed for the 100 m particles than those for the 50 gm particles. At angular displacement =0°, the radial velocity is directed towards the inner wall for both the 50 and 100 m particles. At =30° and 45°, particle wall collisions cause a clear change in the radial velocity of the solids in the region close to the outer wall. The 100 m particle trajectories are very close to being straight lines. Most of the particle wall collisions occur between the =30° and 60° stations. The level of turbulence of the solids was higher than that of the air.List of symbols D hydraulic diameter (100 mm) - De Dean number,De = - mass flow rate - number of particles per second (detected by the probe volume) - r radial coordinate direction - r _i radius of curvature of the inner wall - r ₀ radius of curvature of the outer wall - r ^* normalized radial coordinate, - R mean radius of curvature - Re Reynolds number, - R _r radius ratio, - U ,U _z mean streamwise velocity - U _r ,U _y mean radial velocity - U _b bulk velocity - , _z rms fluctuating streamwise velocity - _r , _y rms fluctuating radial velocity - -r shear stress component - z-y shear stress component - x spanwise coordinate direction - x ^* normalized spanwise coordinate, - y radial coordinate direction in straight ducts - y ^* normalized radial coordinate in straight ducts, - z streamwise coordinate direction in straight ducts - z ^* normalized streamwise coordinate in straight ducts, Greek symbols streamwise coordinate direction - kinematic viscosity of air     

Swirling turbulent flow through a curved pipe

An experimental study of swirling turbulent flow through a curved bend and its downstream tangent has been carried out. This study reports on the recovery from swirl and bend curvature and relies on measurements obtained in the downstream tangent and data reported in Part 1 to assess the recovery. Unlike the nonswirling flow case, the present measurements show that the cross-stream secondary flow is dominated by the decay of the solid-body rotation and the total wall shear stress measured at the inner and outer bend (furthest away from the bend center of curvature) is approximately equal. The shear distribution is fairly uniform, even at 1 D downstream of the bend exit. At 49D downstream of the bend exit, the mean axial velocity has recovered to its measured profile at 18D upstream of the bend entrance. Furthermore, the mean tangential velocity is close to zero everywhere and the turbulent shear and normal stresses take another 15D to approximately approach their stationary straight pipe values. Therefore, complete flow recovery from swirl and bend curvature takes a total length of about 85D from the bend entrance. This compares with a recovery length of about 78D for bend curvature alone. The recovery length is substantially shorter than that measured previously in swirling flow through straight pipes and is a consequence of the angular momentum decreasing by approximately 74% across the curved bend. Consequently, the effect of bend curvature is to accelerate swirl decay in a pipe flow.List of symbols C _f total skin friction coefficient, = 2 _w / w ₀ ² - D pipe diameter, = 7.62 cm - De Dean number, = ^1/2 Re = 13,874 - M angular momentum - N _s swirl number, = D/2 W ₀ = 1 - r radial coordinate - R mean bend radius of curvature, = 49.5 cm - Re pipe Reynolds number, = DW ₀ /v= 50,000 - S axial coordinate along the upstream (measured negative) and downstream (measured positive) tangent - U, V, W mean velocities along the radial, tangential and axial directions, respectively - u, v, w mean fluctuating velocities along the radial, tangential and axial directions, respectively - u, v, w root mean square normal stress along the radial, tangential and axial directions, respectively - W ₀ mean bulk velocity, 10 m/s - w total wall friction velocity, = _w / - (w ) _s total wall friction velocity measured as S/D = -18 - turbulent shear stresses - pipe-to-bend radius ratio, = D/2R = 0.077 - axial coordinate measured from bend entrance - fluid kinetic viscosity - fluid density - _w total wall shear stress - azimuthal coordinate measured zero from pipe horizontal diameter near outer bend - angular speed of the rotating section

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.

The virtual origin of riblets in an open channel flow

In this paper, a method using the mean velocity profiles for the buffer layer was developed for the estimation of the virtual origin over a riblets surface in an open channel flow. First, the standardized profiles of the mixing length were estimated from the velocity measurement in the inner layer, and the location of the edge of the viscous layer was obtained. Then, the virtual origins were estimated by the best match between the measured velocity profile and the equations of the velocity profile derived from the mixing length profiles. It was made clear that the virtual origin and the thickness of the viscous layer are the function of the roughness Reynolds number. The drag variation coincided well with other results.Nomenclature f _r skin friction coefficient - f _ro skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same flow quantity and the same energy slope - g gravity acceleration - H water depth from virtual origin to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - H false water depth from top of riblets to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - I _e streamwise energy slope - I _b bed slope - k riblet height - k ⁺ u*k/ - l mixing length - l _s standardized mixing length - Q flow quantity - Re Reynolds number volume flow/unit width/v - s riblet spacing - u mean velocity - u* friction velocity = - u* false friction velocity = - y distance from virtual origin - y distance from top of riblet - y ₀ distance from top of riblet to virtual origin - y _v distance from top of riblet to edge of viscous layer - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ₀ ⁺ u*y ₀/ - u ⁺ u*y/ - shifting coefficient for standardization - thickness of viscous layer=y ₀+y - ⁺ u*/ - ⁺ u*/ - eddy viscosity - ridge angle - v kinematic viscosity - density - shear stress

Summary Two-dimensional stress singularities in wedges have already drawn attention since a long time. An inverse square-root stress singularity (in a 360° wedge) plays an important role in fracture mechanics.Recently some similar three-dimensional singularities in conical regions have been investigated, from which one may be also important in fracture mechanics.Spherical coordinates are r, , .

The theory of a vibrating-rod densimeter

The paper presents a theory of a device for the accurate determination of the density of fluids over a wide range of thermodynamic states. The instrument is based upon the measurement of the characteristics of the resonance of a circular section tube, or rod, performing steady, transverse oscillations in the fluid. The theory developed accounts for the fluid motion external to the rod as well as the mechanical motion of the rod and is valid over a defined range of conditions. A complete set of working equations and corrections is obtained for the instrument which, together with the limits of the validity of the theory, prescribe the parameters of a practical design capable of high accuracy.Nomenclature A, B, C, D constants in equation (60) - A _j , B _j constants in equation (18) - a _j ⁺ , a _j ^– wavenumbers given by equation (19) - C _f drag coefficient defined in equation (64) - C _f ^/0 , C _f ^/1 components of C _f in series expansion in powers of - c speed of sound - D _b drag force of fluid b - D ₀ coefficient of internal damping - E extensional modulus - force per unit length - F _j ⁺ , F _j ^– constants in equation (24) - f, g functions of defined in equations (56) - G modulus of rigidity - I second moment of area - K constant in equation (90) - k, k constants defined in equations (9) - L half-length of oscillator - Ma Mach number - m _a mass per unit length of fluid a - m _b added mass per unit length of fluid b - m _s mass per unit length of solid - n _j eigenvalue defined in equation (17) - P power (energy per cycle) - P _a , P _b power in fluids a and b - p pressure - R radius of rod or outer radius of tube - R _c radius of container - R _i inner radius of tube - r radial coordinate - T tension - T _visc temperature rise due to heat generation by viscous dissipation - t time - v _r , v radial and angular velocity components - y lateral displacement - z axial coordinate - dimensionless tension - _a dimensionless mass of fluid a - _b dimensionless added mass of fluid b - _b dimensionless drag of fluid b - dimensionless parameter associated with - ₀ dimensionless coefficient of internal damping - dimensionless half-width of resonance curve - dimensionless frequency difference defined in equation (87) - spatial resolution of amplitude - R, , , _s , increments in R, , , _s , - dimensionless amplitude of oscillation - dimensionless axial coordinate - ratio of to - _a , _b ratios of to for fluids a and b - angular coordinate - parameter arising from distortion of initially plane cross-sections - _f thermal conductivity of fluid - dimensionless parameter associated with - viscosity of fluid - _a , _b viscosity of fluids a and b - dimensionless displacement - _j jth component of - density of fluid - _a , _b density of fluids a and b - _s density of tube or rod material - density of fluid calculated on assumption that * - dimensionless radial coordinate - * dimensionless radius of container - dimensionless times - _{rr rr}, _r radial normal and shear stress components - spatial component of defined in equation (13) - _j jth component of - dimensionless streamfunction - ⁰, ¹ components of in series expansion in powers of - phase angle - _r phase difference - _ra , _rb phase difference for fluids a and b - streamfunction - _j jth component defined in equation (22) - dimensionless frequency (based on ) - _a , _b dimensionless frequency in fluids a and b - _s dimensionless frequency (based on _s ) - angular frequency - ₀ resonant frequency in absence of fluid and internal damping - _r resonant frequency in absence of internal fluid - _ra , _rb resonant frequencies in fluids a and b - dimensionless frequency - dimensionless frequency when _a vanishes - dimensionless frequencies when _a vanishes in fluids a and b - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b, _b and ₀ vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b and _b vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _b and _b vanish - dimensionless frequencies at which amplitude is half that at resonance     

Unsteady convective diffusion in a rotating parallel plate channel

The paper presents an exact analysis of the dispersion of a passive contaminant in a viscous fluid flowing in a parallel plate channel driven by a uniform pressure gradient. The channel rotates about an axis perpendicular to its walls with a uniform angular velocity resulting in a secondary flow. Using a generalized dispersion model which is valid for all time, we evaluate the longitudinal dispersion coefficientsK _i (i=1, 2, ...) as functions of time. It is shown thatK ₁=0 andK ₃,K ₄, ... decay rapidly in comparison withK ₂. ButK ₂ decreases with increasing (the dimensionless rotation parameter) for values of upto approximately =2.2. ThereafterK ₂ increases with further increase in and its value gets saturated for large values of (say, 500) and does not change any further with increase in . A physical explanation of this anomalous behaviour ofK ₂ is given.

Instationäre konvektive Diffusion in einem rotierenden Parallelplattenkanal

Zusammenfassung In dieser Untersuchung wird eine exakte Analyse der Ausbreitung eines passiven Kontaminierungsstoffes in einer zähen Flüssigkeit gegeben, die, befördert durch einen gleichförmigen Druckgradienten, in einem Parallelplattenkanal strömt. Der Kanal rotiert mit gleichförmiger Winkelgeschwindigkeit um eine zu seinen Wänden senkrechte Achse, wodurch sich eine Sekundärströmung ausbildet. Unter Verwendung eines generalisierten, für alle Zeiten gültigen Dispersionsmodells werden die longitudinalen DispersionskoeffizientenK _i (i=1, 2, ...) als Funktionen der Zeit ermittelt. Es wird gezeigt, daßK ₁=0 gilt und dieK ₃,K ₄, ... gegenüberK ₂ schnell abnehmen.K ₂ nimmt ab, wenn , der dimensionslose Rotationsparameter, bis etwa zum Wert 2,2 ansteigt. Danach wächstK ₂ mit bis auf einem Endwert an, der etwa ab =500 erreicht wird. Dieses anomale Verhalten vonK ₂ findet eine physikalische Erklärung.

Mixed convection on vertical plate for fluids of any prandtl number

A mixed convection parameter=(Ra) ^1/4/(Re)^1/2, with=Pr/(1+Pr) and=Pr/(1 +Pr)^1/2, is proposed to replace the conventional Richardson number, Gr/Re², for combined forced and free convection flow on an isothermal vertical plate. This parameter can readily be reduced to the controlling parameters for the relative importance of the forced and the free convection,Ra ^1/4/(Re ^1/2 Pr ^1/3) forPr 1, and (RaPr)^1/2/(RePr ^1/2 forPr 1. Furthermore, new coordinates and dependent variables are properly defined in terms of, so that the transformed nonsimilar boundary-layer equations give numerical solutions that are uniformly valid over the entire range of mixed convection intensity from forced convection limit to free convection limit for fluids of any Prandtl number from 0.001 to 10,000. The effects of mixed convection intensity and the Prandtl number on the velocity profiles, the temperature profiles, the wall friction, and the heat transfer rate are illustrated for both cases of buoyancy assisting and opposing flow conditions.

Mischkonvektion an einer vertikalen Platte für Fluide beliebiger Prandtl-Zahl

Zusammenfassung Für die kombinierte Zwangs- und freie Konvektion an einer isothermen senkrechten Platte wird ein Mischkonvektions-Parameter=( Ra) ^1/4 (Re)^1/2, mit=Pr/(1 +Pr) und=Pr/(1 +Pr)^1/2 vorgeschlagen, den die gebräuchliche Richardson-Zahl, Gr/Re², ersetzen soll. Dieser Parameter kann ohne weiteres auf die maßgebenden Kennzahlen für den relativen Einfluß der erzwungenen und der freien Konvektion reduziert werden,Ra ^1/4/(Re ^1/2 Pr ^1/3) fürPr 1 und (RaPr)^1/4/(RePr)^1/2 fürPr 1. Weiterhin werden neue Koordinaten und abhängige Variablen als Funktion von definiert, so daß für die transformierten Grenzschichtgleichungen numerische Lösungen erstellt werden können, die über den gesamten Bereich der Mischkonvektion, von der freien Konvektion bis zur Zwangskonvektion, für Fluide jeglicher Prandtl-Zahl von 0.001 bis 10.000 gleichmäßig gültig sind. Der Einfluß der Intensität der Mischkonvektion und der Prandtl-Zahl auf die Geschwindigkeitsprofile, die Temperaturprofile, die Wandreibung und den Wärmeübergangskoeffizienten werden für die beiden Fälle der Strömung in und entgegengesetzt zur Schwerkraftrichtung dargestellt.
