Dimensional analysis power equation

For the one-dimensional analysis, the equation of motion is described by Eqs. 7.194 and 7.195. The constitutive relationship, the power law equation, is written as ... 

Here mo is the mass per chain atom and g(z) is the slippage function. From asymptotic dimensional analysis, this equation may be expressed in the power law as... 

There are nine variables and three primary dimensions, and therefore by Buekingham s theorem. Equation 7-1 ean be expressed by (9-3) dimensionless groups. Employing dimensional analysis. Equation 7-1 in terms of the three basie dimensions (mass M, length L, and time T) yields Power = ML T. ... 

In the Rayleigh method of carrying out a dimensional analysis the dependent variable is assumed to be proportional to the product of the independent variables raised to different powers. By equating dimensions, the number of independent dimensionless groups and one set of their possible forms can be obtained. By way of illustration two examples may be considered. 

Three repeating variables are selected, as it x, l and p, to form the II s from the other variables. Let IIj = w, lb, pc, p. Therefore by dimensional analysis IIi must have no dimensions. Equating powers for each dimension gives... 

It can be shown by dimensional analysis [Holland and Chapman] that the power number Po can be related to the Reynolds number for mixing ReM, and the Froude number for mixing FrM, by the equation... 

Several expressions of varying forms and complexity have been proposed(35,36) for the prediction of the drag on a sphere moving through a power-law fluid. These are based on a combination of numerical solutions of the equations of motion and extensive experimental results. In the absence of wall effects, dimensional analysis yields the following functional relationship between the variables for the interaction between a single isolated particle and a fluid ... 

Scale-up of the tableting process in the pharmaceutical industry is still an empirical process. Dimensional analysis, a powerful method that has been successfully used in other applications, can provide a solid scientific basis for tableting scale-up. It is a method for producing dimensionless numbers that completely describe the process. The analysis should be carried out before the measurements are made, because dimensionless numbers essentially condense the frame in which the measurements are performed and evaluated. It can be applied even when the equations governing the process are not known. 

In stirring, distinction is made between micro- and macro-mixing. Micro-mixing concerns the state of flow in the tiniest eddies. It is determined by the kinematic viscosity, v, of the liquid and by the dissipated power per unit of mass, = P/pV. Correspondingly, the so-called Kolmogorov s micro-scale k. of the turbulence is laid down as being k = (v3/e)1 4. (By the way, this equation is clearly derived from dimensional analysis )... 

There are a variety of problem-solving strategies that you will use as you prepare for and take the AP test. Dimensional analysis, sometimes known as the factor label method, is one of the most important of the techniques for you to master. Dimensional analysis is a problem-solving technique that relies on the use of conversion factors to change measurements from one unit to another. It is a very powerful technique but requires careful attention during setup. The conversion factors that are used are equalities between one unit and an equivalent amount of some other unit. In financial terms, we can say that 100 pennies is equal to 1 dollar. While the units of measure are different (pennies and dollars) and the numbers are different (100 and 1), each represents the same amount of money. Therefore, the two are equal. Let s use an example that is more aligned with science. We also know that 100 centimeters are equal to 1 meter. If we express this as an equation, we would write ... 

Equation 6.10 is a definition of the Reynolds number based on power dissipation using a velocity term derived from dimensional arguments. This prompted Middleman (1965) to comment that derivation of Equation 6.11 using Kolmogorov s theory is a sophisticated form of dimensional analysis. Even with this oversimplification. Equation 6.10 still needs to be modified for gas-liquid mass transfer for which has a wide variation, and hence, an average is difficult to define. In view of this, most investigators resorted to correlating the volumetric mass transfer coefficient,. The correlations proposed for stirred tank reactors were therefore of the form (Hickman 1988 Middleton 2000)... 

Dimensional analysis indicates that Equation Al may be reexpressed to include powers in all the variables as follows ... 

The next section wiii start with an analysis of melt conveying of isothermal fluids. This wiii be foiiowed by a non-isothermal analysis of melt conveying of cases that allow exact analytical solutions. More general analyses of the effect of temperature on flow will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 12 on modeling and computer simulation. In the next section, melt conveying of Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids will be analyzed. The non-Newtonian fluids will be described with the power law equation (Eq. 6.23). The effect of the flight flank will be discussed and the difference between one- and two-dimensional analysis will be demonstrated with particular emphasis on the implications for actual extruder performance. 

The difference between the one-dimensional and the two-dimensional analysis will increase with increasing helix angle and reducing power law index. From a practical point of view, the use of a two-dimensional analysis becomes important when large helix angles and strongly non-Newtonian fluids are analyzed. The equation of motion in the down-channel direction is the same as used before see Eq. 7.194. A similar expression has to be used for the cross-channel direction. The shear stress profiles can be written as ... 

This reasonably simple problem also demonstrates the power of using dimensional analysis. Within the limits of small parameters (strains in the present case), the linear approximation is frequently valid (please refer to the discussion on the missing equation in the thermodynamic description. Chapter 1). From Hooke s law, it follows both logically and empirically that the net effect, that is, the twist of the upper base of the rod over the lower base is directly proportional to the applied stress and momentum, is inversely proportional to the elasticity modulus and exhibits a dependence on the cross-sectional area, that is,... 

The power developed (/ ) by a hydraulic turbine is an important dependent variable. A dimensional analysis for this quantity leads to the following equation, where all variables involved are defined in Table 7.2. Since three fundamental dimensions (F, L, T) are involved, there will be three dimensionally independent quantities which have been taken to bep, N, and d. 

The dimensional analysis is a very powerful method not only to find the form of the necessary equation, but also to give information about the limits of its validity. 

Here /, r and, v are unequal integers in the set 1, 2, 3. As already mentioned, in the thin-layer approach the fluid is assumed to be non-elastic and hence the stress tensor here is given in ternis of the rate of deforaiation tensor as r(p) = riD(ij), where, in the present analysis, viscosity p is defined using the power law equation. The model equations are non-dimensionalized using... 

In this section we will briefly review the most salient aspects of matrix algebra, insofar as these are used in solving sets of simultaneous equations with linear coefficients. We already encountered the power and convenience of this method in section 6.2, and we will use matrices again in section 10.7, where we will see how they form the backbone of least squares analysis. Here we merely provide a short review. If you are not already somewhat familiar with matrices, the discussion to follow is most likely too short, and you may have to consult a mathematics book for a more detailed explanation. For the sake of simplicity, we will restrict ourselves here to two-dimensional matrices. 

In multi-class problems more than one discriminant function results (Q-1 for Q classes). A favourable aspeet of equation (34) and, thus, of non-elementary discriminant analysis is that the separating power of the diseriminant functions decreases as the eigenvalues decrease in the order 1> 2...> /...> q-1. This makes it possible to eliminate those last discriminant functions which fail to contribute significantly to class separation, thereby diminishing the dimensionality of the diseriminant problem. 

The Finite Element Method is a very powerful and convenient tool to obtain temperature fields accounting for the variable material properties in the analysis. Figure 19 shows a two-dimensional model for FEM analysis. For calculation, the temperature on the rake face of a diamond tool is calculated. Two-dimensional heat conduction can be expressed by the equation ... 

The values of the laminar boimdary layer thickness and of the frictional drag are not very sensitive to the form of approximations used for the velocity distribution, as illustrated by Skelland [1967] for various choices of velocity proflles. The resulting values of C(n) are compared in Table 7.1 with the more reflned values obtained by Acrivos et al. [1960] who solved the differential momentum and mass balance equations numerically the two values agree within 10% of each other. Schowalter [1978] has discussed the extension of the laminar boimdary layer analysis for power-law fluids to the more complex geometries of two- and three-dimensional flows. 

Summarizing, it can be concluded that for simultaneous optimization of the channel depth and helix angle, the modified Newtonian analysis yields reasonably accurate results when compared to the two-dimensional power law analysis. The important equations are Eq. 8.39 for the optimum helix angle and Eq. 8.40 for the optimum channel depth. The results of simultaneous optimization from a one-dimensional power law analysis are less accurate than the modified Newtonian analysis. 

Part wall thickness can now be predicted quite accurately with finite element analysis. The physical sheet is replaced with a two-dimensional mesh of triangular elements and nodes, which is then mathematically deformed imder increasing load. When the nodes touch the electronic surface of the mold, they are affixed. Force continues to increase imtil all or most of the elements are rendered immobile. Currently the Ogden power-law model is used as the pol5mier elastic constitutive equation or response to applied load (28).
