TOWARDS THE HYDRODYNAMIC LIMIT STRUCTURE FACTORS AND SOUND DISPERSION. The collective motions of water molecules give rise to many hydrodynamical phenomena observable in the laboratories. They are most conveniently studied in terms of the spatial Fourier ( ) components of the density, particle currents, stress, and energy fluxes. The time correlation function of those Fourier components detail the decay of density, current, and fluctuation on the length scale of the Ijk. 

For most problems one needs to know how the components of the energy-flux vector are related to the space derivatives of the temperature. For conductive heat transfer the necessary relations are of the form... 

It should be emphasized that the flux vectors for which expressions have been given in Eqs. (28) through (36) are all defined here as fluxes with respect to the mass average velocity. Not all authors use this convention, and considerable confusion has resulted in the definition of the energy flux and the mass flux. Mass fluxes with respect to molar average velocity, stationary coordinates, and the velocity of one component (such as the solvent, for example) are all to be found in the literature on diffusional processes. Research workers in the field of diffusion should be meticulous in specifying the frame of reference for fluxes used in writing up their research work. In the next section this important matter is considered in detail for two-component systems. 

The equation of motion and the equation of energy balance can also be time averaged according to the procedure indicated above (SI, pp. 336 et seq. G7, pp. 191 et seq. pp. 646 et seq.). In this averaging process there arises in the equation of motion an additional component to the stress tensor t(,) which may be written formally in terms of a turbulent (eddy) coefficient of viscosity m(I) and in the equation of energy balance there appears an additional contribution to the energy flux q(1), which may be written formally in terms of the turbulent (eddy) coefficient of thermal conductivity Hence for an incompressible fluid, the x components of the fluxes may be written... 

Calculated values of the separate components of the available energy flux are shown In Table III. These are tabulated as A,B, and C as follows... 

Jx, Jy, Jz are the vector components in the x, y and z axis directions of the coordinate system, Jx, Jy, Jz are their contributions and i,jand k are the corresponding unit vectors. Given a mass quantity m that is transported during time t through an area A, then let/ represent the contribution of the mass flux. For energy transport, then J is the contribution of the energy flux with the dimensions J/m2s (where J = Joule). 

We now turn to Einstein s full gravitational equation. There being ten metric components, there are ten partial differential equations to determine them. One is a fanciful elaboration of Poisson s equations with the relativistic energy density—as opposed to rest mass density—as source. Pressure and energy fluxes become the sources of the others. If we are mostly interested in the external gravitational field of a spherically symmetric body, then the sources can be dropped and the unique exact solution is Schwarzschild s metric (not Martin Schwarzschild but his dad Karl Schwarzschild, also the father of photographic photometry) ... 

We now take up the problem of estimating the heat transfer coefficients and the energy flux E in turbulent flow in a tube. As in our analysis of the corresponding mass transfer problem (Chapter 10), we consider the transfer processes between a cylindrical wall and a turbulently flowing n-component fluid mixture. We examine the phenomena occurring at any axial position in the tube, assuming that fully developed flow conditions are attained. For steady-state conditions, the differential energy balance (Eqs. 11.1.1 and 11.1.2) takes the form... 

In summary, the heat transport by conduction is generally important in reaction engineering applications. The thermal radiation flux is important in particular cases. The multi-component mixture specific contributions to the total energy flux are usually negligible.
