Conservation boundaries, establishment

The reaction scheme at and near the phase boundary during the phase transformation is depicted in Figure 10-14. The width of the defect relaxation zone around the moving boundary is AifR, it designates the region in which the relaxation processes take place. The boundary moves with velocity ub(f) and establishes the boundary conditions for diffusion in the adjacent phases a and p. The conservation of mass couples the various processes. This is shown schematically in Figure 10-14b where the thermodynamic conditions illustrated in Figure 10-12 are also taken into account. The transport equations (Fick s second laws) have to be solved in both the a and p... 

Dukler Theory The preceding expressions for condensation are based on the classical Nusselt theory. It is generally known and conceded that the film coefficients for steam and organic vapors calculated by the Nusselt theory are conservatively low. Dukler [Chem. Eng. Prog., 55, 62 (1959)] developed equations for velocity and temperature distribution in thin films on vertical walls based on expressions of Deissler (NACA Tech. Notes 2129, 1950 2138, 1952 3145, 1959) for the eddy viscosity and thermal conductivity near the solid boundary. According to the Dukler theory, three fixed factors must be known to establish the value of the average film coefficient the terminal Reynolds number, the Prandtl number of the condensed phase, and a dimensionless group Nd defined as follows ... 

On the basis of the space-dependent two-term approximation, including elastic and conservative inelastic electron collision processes, substantial aspects of the inhomogeneous electron kinetics, such as the spatial relaxation behavior in uniform electric fields and the response of the electron component to spatially limited pulselike field disturbances, have been demonstrated and the complex mechanism of spatial electron relaxation has been briefly explained. In these cases, starting from a specific choice of the boundary condition for the velocity distribution, the succeeding spatial evolution of the electrons in the field acceleration direction up to their establishment of a steady state has been studied. 

In this section a number of methods ate described for the experinrental determination of molecular diffitsioa coefficients. The purpose is not ottty to acquaint the reader with some of these tedmiques but also to illustrate, by means of the associated analyses, the proper fomwlation and solution of the appropriate mathematical model for the particular experirtrental dif km situation. In all cases, the governing equations follow ftom simplifying the conservation equations for total mass and particular qiecies, using the flux expression and necessary thermodynamic relationships, artd qiplying appropriate boundary conditions established from the physical situation. Further descriptions of experirtrental methods tttay be found in the books by Jost and Cussler. Many mathematical solutions of the diffusion equation ate found in Ctank. ... 

In order to solve for the foregoing conservation equations to establish the granular flow field they must be closed by plausible constitutive relations for the stress terms, P, and Pf, the kinetic energy flux, q, and rate of dissipation by inelastic collision, 7, along with suitable boundary conditions. Applying these equations to describe the flow of material in the transverse plane of the rotary kiln will require a true quantification of the actual flow properties, for example velocity, in the various modes of rotary kiln observed and described earlier in Chapter 2.
