Write a simulation program to solve the cylindrical-channel boundary-layer equations in primative form. 

Use the linear Burgers equation for heat convection in a channel where the water is flowing with uniform velocity of 0.1 m/s across the cross section of the channel (boundary layers are neglected). The water is initially at 25°C throughout. At time t = 0 sec, waste heat is continuously rejected at x = 0 m, and the channel is long such that dT/dx = 0 for x > 1 m. The amount of heat rejected is 6.23 W/m2 for t > 0. Using the MacCormack explicit scheme, calculate the first 9 time steps to show the transient temperature distributions. 

To reduce this effort, the software Polyflow (Fluent, Lebanon, USA) contains a special module to avoid the remeshing of the flow channel for every single timestep. This is called the Mesh Superposition Technique , where the inner barrel and the screw are meshed separatly. The discrete meshes are overlayed to create one system where the surfaces of the screw define the channel boundary. A major issue with this method is that the flow channel volume varies as the intersection of the surface elements leads to unequal sums over all elements. This is compensated by a compression factor on which the simulation results react very sensitively. 

Since a major variable governing corrosion is frequently the solution resistivity, emphasis is placed on analyzing qualitatively how this can be an important factor. The flux of current from anode to cathode will follow approximately semicircular channels, perpendicular to the isopotential surfaces, for the simple geometry shown in Fig. 4.3(a) and (b). The current-channel boundary surfaces have been drawn so as to define channels of fluid extending from the anode to the cathode with a... 

The reasons behind the specific choice of apparatus geometry can best be shown by a brief review of prior work. The earliest canal type surface viscometer was introduced by Dervician and Joly (8). In this apparatus, an insoluble monolayer is floated on a substrate fluid in a straight channel. The film is forced to flow through the channel by movement of a floating barrier. This motion is resisted principally by surface viscosity. Thus, the small force required to propel the film at a given speed may be measured and used to determine the surface viscosity of the film. A relatively complete theoretical treatment has been provided by Harkins and Kirkwood (5) for insoluble films with Newtonian surface viscosity in deep channels. Actual measurements are typically made in shallow channels, however, which are formed by floating the channel boundaries on the liquid surface. This method is not applicable to soluble surface films, which tend to diffuse through the substrate fluid and pass behind the barrier. Nevertheless, the most accurate values of surface viscosity available have been produced by this approach. 

To produce a high quality surface (10-12), it is necessary to avoid a discontinuous flow of the melt through the profiling channel. A high quality profile with a polished surface is produced with degradation of the polymer surface as a consequence of the effect of the magnetostrictive transducer. The ultrasonic oscillations reduce the toughness of the polymer and the resistance of the wall affect the melt flow at the channel boundary. 

The diffusion coefficient in the wire screen (D in eq.A) is taken to be equal to the product of the screen porosify and the diffusion coefficient in the gas channel. Boundary condition (5) must be found by integrating the mass balance over the catalyst bed, which for a volume with thickness dy in the x-z plane reads ... 

Internal flows include flow in conduits like pipes, tubes, channels, and enclosures. As flow enters the channel, boundary layers develop and grow on both top and bottom surfaces. The flow slows down within the boundary layer owing to the effect of viscosity with no-slip conditions at the wall and it accelerates in the center core region to satisfy mass continuity as shown in the Figure 6.3.
