Uniaxial extension of an isothermal fluid cylinder in the presence of inertia,surface tension and gravity

Effects of inertia, surface tension and gravity in the constant force stretching of isothermal cylindrical filaments of Newtonian, power-law and Maxwell-type fluids were analysed in Lagrangian coordinates. Solution for the purely gravitational extension of Newtonian fluid cylinder was found to be as simple as = 1 – C ₃ (1 – ) where designates the cross sectional area, the Lagrangian distance and the time. Analytical solutions were also available for the case of inertialess Newtonian and power-law fluids.A first-order backward differencing scheme and minimal computer time were sufficient to numerically analyse the constant force extension of Maxwell-type fluids in the presence of inertia, gravity and surface tension. Effects of inertia, surface tension and gravity on the severity of neck down occurring at either end of the filament are summarized in diagrams. The present approach is valid on any other constitutive model as far as there is a numerical scheme to analyse thehomogeneous extension of a cylinder of that particular fluid.

Any such stretching transient given as a solution of the above equation is physically realizable subject to the restrictions > 0 and/ < 0.     

Free convection heat transfer from an isothermal plate with arbitrary inclination

This paper presents a new formulation for the laminar free convection from an arbitrarily inclined isothermal plate to fluids of any Prandtl number between 0.001 and infinity. A novel inclination parameter is proposed such that all cases of the horizontal, inclined and vertical plates can be described by a single set of transformed equations. Moreover, the self-similar equations for the limiting cases of the horizontal and vertical plates are recovered from the transformed equations by setting=0 and=1, respectively. Heated upward-facing plates with positive and negative inclination angles are investigated. A very accurate correlation equation of the local Nusselt number is developed for arbitrary inclination angle and for 0.001 Pr .

Wärmeübertragung bei freier Konvektion an einer isothermen Platte mit beliebiger Neigung

Zusammenfasssung Diese Untersuchung stellt eine neue Formulierung der laminaren freien Konvektion von Flüssigkeiten mit einer Prandtl-Zahl zwischen 0,001 und unendlich an einer beliebig schräggestellten isothermen Platte dar. Ein neuer Neigungsparameter wird eingeführt, so daß alle Fälle der horizontalen, geneigten oder vertikalen Platte von einem einzigen Satz transformierter Gleichungen beschrieben werden können. Die unabhängigen Gleichungen für die beiden Fälle der horizontalen and vertikalen Platte wurden für=0 und=1 aus den transformierten Gleichungen wieder abgeleitet. Es wurden erwärmte aufwärtsgerichtete Platten mit positiven und negativen Neigungswinkeln untersucht. Eine sehr genaue Gleichung wurde für die lokale Nusselt-Zahl bei beliebigen Neigungswinkeln und für 0,001 Pr entwickelt.

Flow of second-order fluids over an enclosed rotating disc

Summary This paper is devoted to a study of the flow of a second-order fluid (flowing with a small mass rate of symmetrical radial outflow m, taken negative for a net radial inflow) over a finite rotating disc enclosed within a coaxial cylinderical casing. The effects of the second-order terms are observed to depend upon two dimensionless parameters ₁ and ₂. Maximum values ₁ and ₂ of the dimensionless radial distances at which there is no recirculation, for the cases of net radial outflow (m>0) and net radial inflow (m<0) respectively, decrease with an increase in the second-order effects [represented by T(=₁+₂)]. The velocities at ₁ and ₂ as well as at some other fixed radii have been calculated for different T and the associated phenomena of no-recirculation/recirculation discussed. The change in flow phenomena due to a reversal of the direction of net radial flow has also been studied.

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.

Mass transfer with chemical reaction in a laminar falling film

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine analytische Lösung für die Absorption in einem laminaren Rieselfilm mit homogener und heterogener chemischer Reaktion 1.

Die Lösung ist eine Funktion von drei dimensionslosen ParameternBi, und, welche die BiotZahl und einen homogenen bzw. heterogenen Reaktionsparameter darstellen. Es wird gezeigt, daß für feste Werte vonBi und die Absorptionsrate (bezogen auf die Breite 1 des Rieselfilms) über eine gewisse Länge (dimensionslos) des Rieselfilms unabhängig von ist, wenn, < 0,6 ist. Die laufende Länge wird von der Stelle aus gemessen, an der die Absorption beginnt. Für b 0,6 nimmt der FlußQ mit zu, erreicht aber einen Sättigungswert bei=10, wonachQ nurmehr sehr langsam anwächst. Jedoch für ein gegebenes und ohne Übergangswiderstand im Film (Bi ) nimmtQ mit für alle 0 zu.

An analytical solution is presented for gas absorption in a laminar falling film with first-order homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reaction and external gas-phase mass transfer resistance. The solution depends on three dimensionless parametersBi, and, wich represent the Biot number, homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction parameters, respectively. It is shown that for fixed values ofBi and, the rate of gas absorption (per unit breadth) over a certain length; (dimensionless) along the falling film measured from the point where surface absorption begins is independent of if < 0.6. For 0.6, this fluxQ increases with but reaches a saturation value at=10 beyond whichQ increases very slowly. But for given and zero gas film resistance (Bi ),Q increases with for all 0.

     

On an inversion theorem for conical regions in elasticity theory

Summary Two-dimensional stress singularities in wedges have already drawn attention since a long time.

The local temperature has been determined for a viscous liquid flowing through a paraboloidal tube. Wall temperature and inlet temperature have been considered constant. The liquid flow was considered as creeping flow and its velocity distribution was determined by solving the biharmonic differential equation of the stream function.

Study of transient and quasi-steady ablation of polytetrafluoroethylene layers

A study of the transient one-dimensional ablation of a PTFE-layer heated by a constant heat flux at the surface and cooled by finite heat transfer at the back is performed using a previously presented analytical model. The influences of various parameters upon the course of ablation are investigated and some limiting cases are discussed. The numerical solution for the quasi-steady ablation is presented by graphs, which are also approximated by correlations for the computation of the coupled boundary layer and PTFE-ablator.

The cooling of a low heat resistance stretching sheet moving through a fluid

The cooling characteristics of a low-heat-resistance sheet moving through a fluid have been studied for arbitrary power law stretching. The momentum transfer is governed by an equation that resembles the Falkner-Skan equation with stretching as a parameter. For the thermal problem, locally similar solutions have been obtained for small and large values of the streamwise distance. The convergence of low series has been improved by Euler transformation to yield results valid for all values of.

Hydrodynamical changes due to polymer migration in very dilute solutions

The slip hypothesis, based on thermodynamical arguments, has been extended to obtain the flow characteristics of polymer solutions flowing in a nonhomogeneous flow field. An asymptotic analysis, valid for both channel and falling film flows, is presented that predicts the flow enhancement due to polymer migration. Concentration-viscosity coupling is shown to be a critical factor in the hydrodynamic analysis. The analysis, which essentially provides an upper bound on flow enhancement, explicitly accounts for the influence of wall shear stress, initial polymer concentration etc. A comparison with the pertinent experimental data shows reasonable agreement. c concentration - c ₀ concentration in shear-free region - c _i initial concentration - d rate of deformation tensor - g acceleration due to gravity - g ₁ function defined in eq.
