As discussed in Chapter 1, the basic principles that apply to the analysis and solution of flow problems include the conservation of mass, energy, and momentum in addition to appropriate transport relations for these conserved quantities. For flow problems, these conservation laws are applied to a system, which is defined as any clearly specified region or volume of fluid with either macroscopic or microscopic dimensions (this is also sometimes referred to as a control volume ), as illustrated in Fig. 5-1. The general conservation law is... 

Transport of mass, energy, and momentum in porous media is a key aspect of a large number of fiber-reinforced plastic composite fabrication processes. In design and optimization of such processes, computer simulation plays an important role. Recent studies [1-14] have... 

It is extremely difficult to model macroscopic transport of mass, energy, and momentum in porous media commonly encountered in various fields of science and engineering based on microscopic transport models that account for variation of velocity and temperature as well as other quantities of interest past individual solid particles. The basic idea of porous media theory, therefore, is to volume average the quantities of interest and develop field equations based on these average quantities. 

Rutherford scattering is an elastic event, that is, no excitation of either the projectile or target nuclei occurs. However, due to conservation of energy and momentum in the interaction, the kinetic energy of the backscattered ion is less than that of the incident ion. The relation between these energies is the kinematic factor, K, which is given by the expression...

The photon only loses a very small fraction of its energy and momentum in the collision, so that we may take BE to represent its momentum before the collision and BC that after the collision. 

The governing inviscid flow equations of continuity, energy, and momentum (in conservation form) in gas region are Euler Equations (9)-(l 1) ... 

A theory of the weak interaction was also in its infancy in the 1930s. The weak interaction is responsible for beta decay, in which a radioactive nucleus is transformed into a slightly lighter nucleus with the emission of an electron. However, beta decays posed a problem because they appeared not to conserve energy and momentum. In 1931 Pauli proposed 5ie existence of a neutral particle that might be able to carry off the missing... 

Despite the fact that real molecules are not hard spheres, the Enskog theory has been used to describe transport properties of real fluids over a wide range of densities and temperatures with a considerable degree of success. To apply the Enskog theory to real systems one must assume that (a) the mechanisms for the transport of energy and momentum in a real system do not differ in any essential way from the mechanisms of transport in a hard-sphere fluid, and (b) the expressions for the transport coefficients of a real fluid at a given temperature and density are identical to those of a hard-sphere fluid at the same density, provided one replaces a and x(ti) in the hard-sphere expressions by quantities d and x(T) where d is an effective hard-sphere diameter of the molecules at temperature T, and x(T) is an effective radial distribution function that takes into account the temperature dependence of the collision frequency in the real fluid. ... 

As a basic system to be studied, we consider a suspension of identical spherical particles of radius a and density p, in an incompressible fluid of density and viscosity ij,. From the very beginning, we presume that the spherical particles are involved in a chaotic fluctuating motion, and that their collisions dominate in the interparticle exchange of fluctuation energy and momentum. In particular, the last assumption implies that ... 

In this discussion overall or macroscopic mass balances were made because we wish to describe these balances from outside the enclosure. In this section on overall mass balances, some of the equations presented may have seemed quite obvious. However, the purpose was to develop the methods which should be helpful in the next sections. Overall balances will also be made on energy and momentum in the next sections. These overall balances do not tell us the details of what happens inside. However, in Section 2.9 a shell momentum balance will be made to obtain these details, which will give us the velocity distribution and pressure drop. To further study these details of the processes occurring inside the enclosure, differential balances rather than shell balances can be written and these are discussed in other later Sections 3.6 to 3.9 on differential equations of continuity and momentum transfer. Sections 5.6 and 5.7 on differential equations of energy change and boundary-layer flow, and Section 7.5B on differential equations of continuity for a binary mixture. 

Algebraic equations (14.3) correspond to constitutive equations, which are generally based on physical and chemical laws. They include basic definitions of mass, energy, and momentum in terms of physical properties, like density and temperature thermodynamic equations, through equations of state and chonical and phase equilibria transport rate equations, such as Pick s law for mass transfer, Fourier s law for heat conduction, and Newton s law of viscosity for momentum transfer chemical kinetic expressions and hydraulic equations. 

The sound attenuation coefficient, a, is k dependent. As already mentioned, light scattering is especially useful in the study of systems where long lived hydrodynamic modes occur with decay times proportional to some power of the wavelength. Here, the conservation of energy and momentum in a... 

This four-tensor is sometimes called stress-energy tensor or stress-energy-momentum tensor . It describes the density and fliix of energy and momentum in spacetime, generalizing the stress tensor in Newtonian mechanics. 

The advantage of the energy-based schemes is that a well-defined Hamiltonian exists. The PAP, SAP, and DAS schemes conserve energy and momentum in the propagation of trajectories in NVE simulations. It is recognized that conservations... 

The name recombination centres given to such states reflects the fact that they also accelerate the back reaction, that is electron-hole recombination. Their eflicacy depends on the fact that they make possible indirect transitions (i.e. transitions with change of the wave number vector, see Chapter 2) by taking up energy and momentum. In this way the establishing of the local equilibrium is accelerated [128, 129].
