Dissipation flux flow

Fanning (Darcy) friction factor f(f or fD) e, D 2 V2L fo = 4f TW yv2 e, = friction loss (energy/mass) rw = wall stress (Energy dissipated)/ (KE of flow x 4L/D) or (Wall stress)/ (momentum flux) Flow in pipes, channels, fittings, etc. 

The firsttwo terms on the right-hand side of this expression are responsible for spatial transport of scalar dissipation. In high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows, the scalar-dissipation flux (iijC ) is the dominant term. The other terms on the right-hand side are similar to the corresponding terms in the dissipation transport equation ((2.125), p. 52), and are defined as follows. 

In this part we describe our experiments on studies of dissipation in Josephson flux-flow regime. We show that experiments of that type can be used for studies of temperature dependence of both the in-plane and the out-of-plane components of the quasiparticle conductivity [17]. 

As mentioned above, the time-integral of the dissipation function takes on the value of the extensive generalised entropy production, 2, over a period, t under suitable circumstances. The main requirement is that the dynamics satisfies the condition know as the adiabatic incompressibility of phase space . In this case, 2, = —JtFefiV, where is the dissipative flux caused by the field, F, p = IKk T) where T is the temperature of the corresponding initial system and V is the volume of the system. An example where such a relation can be applied is if a molten salt at equilibrium was exposed to a constant electric field. In that case the entropy production would be directly proportional to the current induced, and the FR would describe the probability that it would be observed to flow in the + ve or — ve... 

Calculate the current-flow on a given resistivity on an arbitrary DC circuit. Prove that this task could be solved by the minimization of the sum of dissipation fluxes or by the principle of minimal entropy production, like we did in the case of parallel connection of the Figure 6., when the circuit regarding the contacts of the resistor is replaced with the Norton s current source equivalent circuit [53]. 

If we design the coupling of the external field to the system in such a way that the dissipative flux is equal to one of the Navier-Stokes fluxes (such as the shear stress in planar Couette flow or the heat flux in thermal conductivity), it can be shown - provided the system satisfies a number of fairly simple conditions (Evans Morriss 1990) - that the response is proportional to the Green-Kubo time integral for the corresponding Navier-Stokes transport coefficient. This means that the linear response of the system to the fictitious external field is exactly related to linear response of a real system to a real Navier-Stokes force, thereby enabling the calculation of the relevant transport coefficient. 

Estimates of the upper and lower bounds within the framework of this method were obtained from general physical arguments rather than from rigorous mathematical treatment [8,17,32,47,48]. According to Eq. (43X the additional constraint, i.e. divq(r) = 0, ensures the stationary state of the integral (i.e., energy dissipation during the heat flux flow),... 

This will be elaborated in detail in the following section. However, it is of interest that the existence of concentration-dependent (implying a far-from-equilibrium condition) cross-diffusion terms creates a non-linear mechanism between elements of the system, i.e. the flux of one polymer depends not only on its own concentration gradient but also on that of the other polymer component. This is consistent with two of the criteria required for dissipative structure formation. Furthermore, once a density inversion is initiated, by diffusion, it will be acted upon by gravity (as the system is open ) to produce a structured flow. The continued growth, stability and maintenance of the structures once formed may depend on the lateral diffusion processes between neighbouring structures. 

According to the second law, the dissipation function must be positive if not zero, which of course is to be expected here, since we are dealing with a spontaneously occurring passive process. The thermodynamic force A/x+, which contains both a concentration-dependent component and an electrical component, is the sole cause of the flow J+. In a system in which more than one process occurs, each process gives rise to a term in the dissipation function consisting of the product of an appropriate force and its conjugate flow. In the case of active transport of the cation, as found, for example, in certain epithelial tissues, the cation flux is coupled to a metabolic reaction. If we represent the flow or velocity of the reaction per unit area of membrane by Jr, the appropriate force driving the reaction is... 

The viscous dissipation term is normally not important. Its significance has been considered in connection with lubrication theory (VI), flow through tubes (B20), extrusion of plastics melts (BIO), and viscometry in rotating-cylinder systems (W6). There is also an additional contribution to the energy flux vector describing energy transport by radiation. See discussion in connection with Eq. (29). 

The correspondence between the calculated results based on the model of heat dissipation due to viscous flow and the experimental data in the decrease of the induction period at high shear rates proves that the observed effect is adequately explained by this mechanism. The effects of shearing itself on the kinetics of curing are either absent or of secondary importance. If the experimentally observed decrease in the induction period is more pronounced than predicted by the dissipative model, then it is reasonable to consider additional heat sources, for example, the exothermal effects of a reaction. Heat flux from the surroundings can also influence the kinetics of... 

This forms the basis of constructing an enthalpy budget in which the total enthalpy flux is compared with the scalar heat flux, 7q(W m-3), obtained from dividing heat flow by size (volume or mass) of the living matter. If account is made of all the reactions and side reactions in metabolism, the ratio of heat flux to enthalpy flux, the so-called energy recovery ( Yq/H = Jq/Jh) will equal 1. If it is more than 1, then the chemical analysis has failed fully to account for heat flux and if it is less than 1, then there are undetected endothermic reactions. Account for all reactions may seem a formidable task, but it should be borne in mind that anabolic processes dissipate insignificant amounts of heat compared with those of catabolism and that ATP production and utilization are balanced in cells at steady-state. Catabolism is generally limited to a relatively few well-known pathways with established overall molar enthalpies. So, as will be seen later, the task is by no means mission impossible. ... 

Three different approaches are chiefly applied micro-, flow and heat flux calorimetry. Heat flux calorimetry is certainly the best choice for bioprocess monitoring (Fig. 17) [264]. In a dynamic calorimeter, the timely change of temperature is measured and various heat fluxes (e.g. heat dissipated by stirrer, or lost due to vaporization of water) need to be known in order to calculate the heat flux from the bioreaction ... 

Consider a fully-developed steady-state laminar flow of a constant-property fluid through a circular pipe with a constant heat flux condition imposed at the duct wall. Neglect axial conduction, but include the effect of viscous dissipation. Obtain an expression for the Nusselt number. 

A constant property fluid flows between two horizontal, semiinfinite, parallel plates, kept at a distance 2m apart. The upper plate is at a constant temperature Ti and the lower plate is at a constant temperature T2. Consider the fully developed velocity and temperature profiles region for laminar flow. Include viscous dissipation. Find the heat flux to each of the plates. 

Consider a steady, laminar boundary layer flow of incompressible, transparent fluid along a flat plate, with a constant applied heat flux qw Btu/(hr ft2) at the wall surface. The properties of the fluid are assumed constant. The main considerations are conduction to the fluid, and radiation from the plate to the environment at Te. Surface of the plate is opaque and gray, and the uniform emissivity is 8. The fluid which is at a temperature of T,, flows at a uniform velocity of Uo. Flow velocities are sufficiently small so that viscous dissipation may be neglected. 

A. Two-dimensional flow over a series of geometrically similar bodies having a specified surface temperature was discussed in this chapter. If the surface heat flux rather than the temperature is specified, a dimensional temperature of the form (T - T )l(qwrUk) should be used. Derive the parameters on which the mean surface temperature will depend in this situation. Viscous dissipation effects can be ignored. 

Attention will be restricted to fully developed flow, i.e., to flow in which all the flow variables except temperature are not changing with distance, c. along the pipe. It will also be assumed that the wall heat flux is axially constant and the wall temperature is constant around the periphery although it of course varies with axial distance. Using the coordinate system shown in Fig. 9.31, the equations governing the flow are, if the Boussinesq approximation is adopted and if viscous dissipation...
