Average dissipated energy

As expressed in Equation 9, the Average Dissipated Energy depends on the initial conditions Zg, therefore the maximization of assumes different values for different initial conditions. In order to eliminate tiiis dependence, is assumed like a random variable (uniformly distributed on the surface of the 2n-dimensional unit sphere), so the expression of becomes...

Note that AA — xg > 0 in (6.36) is the average dissipated work of the NEW calculation in the complementary g) direction. Equation (6.36) shows that, given the same number of switching paths (/V), a simulation with a slower switch leads to a smaller variance in the free energy, since the value of A A — xg becomes smaller. Also note that AA — xg has its maximum value in the FEP case (instantaneous switch), and is zero when the switching path is reversible. 

The averaged potential energy (V) includes contributions from fluctuations in the charge density at all real frequencies. The fluctuation-dissipation theorem restricts the contributing frequencies to co = -o), but allows for all real co. The effects on the energy are contained in the term defined by... 

There are many examples of nonequilibrium states. A classic example of a NESS is an electrical circuit made out of a battery and a resistance. The current flows through the resistance and the chemical energy stored in the battery is dissipated to the environment in the form of heat the average dissipated power, Pdiss = VI, is identical to the power supplied by the battery. Another example is a sheared fluid between two plates or coverslips and one of them is moved relative to the other at a constant velocity v. To sustain such a state, a mechanical power that is equal toVoc r v has to be exerted on the moving plate, where p is the viscosity of water. The mechanical work produced is then dissipated in the form of...

This is given by y(w() = l/T or d> (w() = 0 Wrev and Wdis are the reversible and average dissipated work, respectively. (From Ref. 117.)...

The term fa) is the volume-averaged dissipation function for the energy dissipated by the viscous force, which is irreversible dissipation of mechanical work into thermal energy or heat. For the solid-particle phase, the kinetic energy loss by attrition or inelastic collision may be included in this term.

In fact, the fiber contribution to the shear viscosity of a fiber suspension at steady state is modest, at most. The reason is that, without Brownian motion, the fibers quickly rotate in a shear flow until they come to the flow direction in this orientation they contribute little to the viscosity. Of course, the finite aspect ratio of a fiber causes it to occasionally flip through an angle of n in its Jeffery orbit, during which it dissipates energy and contributes more substantially to the viscosity. The contribution of these rotations to the shear viscosity is proportional to the ensemble- or time-averaged quantity (u u ), where is the component of fiber orientation in the flow direction and Uy is the component in the shear gradient direction. Figure 6-21 shows as a function of vL for rods of aspect...

Turbulence closure models for the unknown terms in the flux- and variance equations for single phase reactor systems are discussed extensively by Baldyga and Bourne [5] and Fox [49] [50]. However, the application of these model closures should be treated with care as most of these parameterizations are expressed in terms of the turbulent eddy and other scalar dissipation rates (and dissipation energy spectra) which are about the weakest links in turbulence modeling. The predictive capabilities of the Re3molds averaged models...
