Flow and Performance Calculations. Electro dynamic equations are usehil when local gas conditions (, a, B) are known. In order to describe the behavior of the dow as a whole, however, it is necessary to combine these equations with the appropriate dow conservation and state equations. These last are the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, an equation of state for the working duid, an expression for the electrical conductivity, and the generalized Ohm s law. 

The intrinsic constitutive laws (equations of state) are those of each phase. The external constitutive laws are four transfer laws at the walls (friction and mass transfer for each phase) and three interfacial transfer laws (mass, momentum, energy). The set of six conservation equations in the complete model can be written in equivalent form ... 

The mathematical model describing the two-phase dynamic system consists of modeling of the flow and description of its boundary conditions. The description of the flow is based on the conservation equations as well as constitutive laws. The latter define the properties of the system with a certain degree of idealization, simplification, or empiricism, such as equation of state, steam table, friction, and heat transfer correlations (see Sec. 3.4). A typical set of six conservation equations is discussed by Boure (1975), together with the number and nature of the necessary constitutive laws. With only a few general assumptions, these equations can be written, for a one-dimensional (z) flow of constant cross section, without injection or suction at the wall, as follows. 

Although the shortest way to the tunneling gap 8 is the solution of Landau and Lifshits [27], here we consider the problem from a different perspective. Like in the theory of electric circuits, instead of a detailed consideration of each particle, one can apply some simple rules that provide enough equations to solve the problem. One is the junction rule. It is based upon the probability conservation law for a stationary state, PiQ, t). At any point Q in the domain of 77(2, t), the probability density, I PiQ, t) 2 remains constant, dl P(Q. f)P/df = 0. Consider the part of a vibronic state that is located in a potential well. In this region, the probability density, P(Q, t) 2, looks like an octopus with its tentacles extended into the restricted areas under the barriers.2 If we construct a closed surface S around the body of the octopus , then, due to conservation of probability density, the total flux of probability through the surface S must be equal to zero,... 

We can describe irreversibility by using the kinetic theory relationships in maximum entropy formalism, and obtain kinetic equations for both dilute and dense fluids. A derivation of the second law, which states that the entropy production must be positive in any irreversible process, appears within the framework of the kinetic theory. This is known as Boltzmann s H-theorem. Both conservation laws and transport coefficient expressions can be obtained via the generalized maximum entropy approach. Thermodynamic and kinetic approaches can be used to determine the values of transport coefficients in mixtures and in the experimental validation of Onsager s reciprocal relations. 

Propagation Model. The propagation of a pressure or stress wave through a compressible medium is described by the laws of conservation of mass and momentum and the equation of state which relates the pressure or stress in the medium to the strain and its material properties (j ). 

In order to use these general momentum conservation equations to calculate the velocity field, it is necessary to express viscous stress terms in terms of the velocity field. The equations which relate the stress tensor to the motion of the continuous fluid are called constitutive equations or rheological equations of state. Although the governing momentum conservation equations are valid for all fluids, the constitutive equations, in general, vary from one fluid material to another and possibly also from one type of flow to another. Fluids, which follow Newton s law of viscosity (although it is referred to as a law, it is just an empirical proposition) are called Newtonian fluids. For such fluids, the viscous stress at a point is linearly dependent on the rates of strain (deformation) of the fluid. With this assumption, a general deformation law which relates stress tensor and velocity components can be written ... 

Hydrodynamic models of the atmosphere on a grid or spectral resolution that determine the surface pressure and the vertical distributions of velocity, temperature, density, and water vapor as functions of time from the mass conservation and hydrostatic laws, the first law of thermodynamics, Newton s second law of motion, the equation of state, and the conservation law for water vapor. Abbreviated as GCM. Atmospheric general circulation models are abbreviated AGCM, while oceanic general circulation models are abbreviated OGCM. geomorphology... 

Consider conservation laws for mass and momentum of viscous Newtonian liquids. In case of isothermal flow of incompressible liquid, it is necessary to add to these laws the basic equation (4.13) together with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. It is sufficient to determine the velocity distribution and stresses at any point of space filled with the liquid, and at any moment of time. If the flow is not isothermal, then in order to And the temperature distribution in liquid, we need to use the energy conservation. If, besides, the liquid is compressible, it is necessary to add the equation of state. 

Atmospheric mesoscale models are based on a set of conservation equations for velocity, heat, density, water, and other trace atmospheric gases and aerosols. The equation of state used in these equations is the ideal law. The conservation-of-velocity equation is derived from Newton s second law of motion (F = ma) as applied to the rotating earth. The conservation-of-heat equation is derived from the first law of thermodynamics. The remaining conservation equations are written as a change in an atmospheric variable (e.g., water) in a Lagrangian framework where sources and sinks are identified. 

Generally, a dynamical system is a system developing in time according to some evolution law. The law can be formulated as a set of differential equations with time as a variable. For example in a stirred homogeneous chemical reactor with known reaction kinetics, we can set up the dynamic balances (4.7.1) and (5.6.15) where the reaction rates are given functions of the state variables. We shall not, however, consider such systems in general and we shall limit our attention to the simplest case of dynamic mass balancing. Then the evolution law is simple mass conservation law with accumulation of mass admitted in certain nodes. 

To understand the basic experimental results, we will briefly examine the theoretical continuous (macroscopic) and molecular (microscopic) approaches and the physical concepts on which they are based. These two approaches supplement each other. The continuous theories use the laws of conservation which are valid for any continuous medium. The rheological and thermodynamic relations (equations of state) which complete them are derived from the general laws of mechanics and thermodynamics without the use of model concepts concerning the structure of LC and the molecular-kinetic mechanism of their flow. 

Similar to the situation discussed in the previous paragraph, the compressibihty of gas should also serve as a source term in the related governing eqnations. During the primary gas penetration process, the melt density is assnmed constant and the density of injected gas is presumed following the equation of state, where the ideal gas law is employed. In order to take the compressibility of injected gas into account, the front transport eqnation of polymer melt, i.e. Equation (4), mnst be modified, becanse not only the convection due to flow velocity, but also the pressure and temperature should affect the front inside cavities. Deriving from the mass conservation eqnation for gas, the modified front transport eqnation can be given as follows ... 

In the equilibrium state the electrochemical potentials of each ion are the same in both phases, and the equations (1) to (7) are fulfilled. It is apparent from the mass conservation law that ... 

The kinetic equations describing these four steps have been summarized and discussed in the earlier paper and elsewhere (1,5). They can be combined with conservation laws to yield the following non-linear equations that describe the transient behavior of the reactor. In these equations the units of the state variables T, M, and I are mols/liter, while W is in grams/liter. The quantity A (also mols/liter) represents that portion of the total polymer that is unassociated — i.e. reactive.
