Other cases, neglecting heat effects would cause serious errors. In such cases the mathematical treatment requires the simultaneous solution of the diffusion and heat conductivity equations for the catalyst pores. 

Frank-Kamenetskii first considered the nonsteady heat conduction equation. However, since the gaseous mixture, liquid, or solid energetic fuel can undergo exothermic transformations, a chemical reaction rate term is included. This term specifies a continuously distributed source of heat throughout the containing vessel boundaries. The heat conduction equation for the vessel is then...

It can be shown that the differential equations for both heat conduction and mass diffusion are of the same form. Therefore, the solutions of mass diffusion equations can be obtained from Ihe solutions of corresponding heal conduction equations for the same type of boundary conditions by simply switching the corresponding coefficienis and variables. 

Conjugated eonduetion-convection problems are among the elassieal formulations in heat transfer that still demand exact analytical treatment. Since the pioneering works of Perelman (1961) [14] and Luikov et al. (1971) [15], such class of problems continuously deserved the attention of various researchers towards the development of approximate formulations and/or solutions, either in external or internal flow situations. For instance, the present integral transform approach itself has been applied to obtain hybrid solutions for conjugated conduction-convection problems [16-21], in both steady and transient formulations, by employing a transversally lumped or improved lumped heat conduction equation for the wall temperature. 

Introduction. Transient one-dimensional conduction external to long circular cylinders is considered in this section. The conduction equation, the boundary and initial conditions, and the solutions for the Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are presented. The conduction equation for the instantaneous temperature rise 0(r, t) - T, in the region external to a long circular cylinder of radius a is... 

In continuum models, blood vessels are not modeled individually. Instead, the traditional heat conduction equation for the tissue region is modified by either adding an additional term or altering some of the key parameters. The modification is relatively simple and is closely related to the local vasculature and blood perfusion. Even if the continuum models cannot describe the point-by-point temperature variation in the vicinity of larger blood vessels, they are easy to use and allow the manipulation of one or several free parameters. Thus, they have much wider applications than the vascular models. In the following sections, some of the widely used continuum models are introduced and their validity is evaluated on the basis of the fundamental heat transfer aspects. 

At all channel wall surfaces, the no-slip boundary condition is applied to the velocity field (the Navier-Stokes equation), the fixed zeta-potential boundary condition is imposed on the EDL potential field (the Poisson-Boltzmann equation), and the insulation boundary condition is assigned to the applied electric field (the Laplace equation), and the no-mass penetration condition is specified for the solute mass concentration field (the mass transport equation). In addition, the third-kind boundary condition (i. e., the natural convection heat transfer with the surrounding air) is applied to the temperature field at all the outside surfaces of the fabricated channels to simultaneously solve the energy equation for the buffer solution together with the conjugated heat conduction equation for the channel wall.

Electrical conductivity is comparatively easy to measure, whereas thermal conductivity is not. Electrical conductivity values for the important cast alloys are Hsted in Table 2. Eigure 1 schematically shows the electrical conductivity of cast copper-base alloys compared with various other cast metals and alloys. The equation Y = 4.184 + 3.93a gives an approximation of thermal conductivity in relation to electrical conductivity, where Tis in W/(m-K) at 20°C and X is the % lACS at 20°C.

This model v/as used by Atwood et al (1989) to compare the performance of 12 m and 1.2 m long tubular reactors using the UCKRON test problem. Although it was obvious that axial conduction of matter and heat can be expected in the short tube and not in the long tube, the second derivative conduction terms were included in the model so that no difference can be blamed on differences in the models. The continuity equations for the compounds was presented as ... 

Similar studies were conducted by Troyanovsky, who concluded that to maintain the airflow pattern in rooms with heated or cooled air supply as in isothermal conditions, it is necessary that the rise of horizontally supplied jet does not exceed Ay = 0.1 BH at the distance from the outlet X = 0.15K BH) -. From this assumption the following equation for the maximum air temperature difference was derived ... 

In the finite-difference appntach, the partial differential equation for the conduction of heat in solids is replaced by a set of algebraic equations of temperature differences between discrete points in the slab. Actually, the wall is divided into a number of individual layers, and for each, the energy conserva-tk>n equation is applied. This leads to a set of linear equations, which are explicitly or implicitly solved. This approach allows the calculation of the time evolution of temperatures in the wall, surface temperatures, and heat fluxes. The temporal and spatial resolution can be selected individually, although the computation time increa.ses linearly for high resolutions. The method easily can be expanded to the two- and three-dimensional cases by dividing the wall into individual elements rather than layers. 

Calcium chloride, CaCl2, is another crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. The resulting solution conducts electric current, as does the sodium chloride solution. Calcium chloride is, in this regard, like sodium chloride and unlike sugar. The equation for the reaction is... 

As a solution of barium hydroxide is mixed with a solution of sulfuric acid, a white precipitate forms and the electrical conductivity decreases markedly. Write equations for the reactions that occur and account for the conductivity change. 

Conductivity measurements yield molar conductivities A (Scm2 mol-1) at salt concentration c (mol L-1). A set of data pairs (Af, c,), is evaluated with the help of non linear fits of equations [89,93,94] consisting of the conductivity equation, Eq. (7), the expression for the association constant, Eq. (3), and an equation for the activity coefficient of the free ions in the solution, Eq.(8) the activity coefficient of the ion pair is neglected at low concentrations.

An accurate calculation of the heat conductivity requires solving a kinetic equation for the phonons coupled with the multilevel systems, which would account for thermal saturation effects and so on. We encountered one example of such saturation in the expression (21) for the scattering strength by a two-level system, where the factor of tanh((3co/2) reflected the difference between thermal populations of the two states. Neglecting these effects should lead to an error on the order of unity for the thermal frequencies. Within this single relaxation time approximation for each phonon frequency, the Fermi golden rule yields, for the scattering rate of a phonon with Ha kgT,...
