Enthalpy transport equation

The dimensionless form of the equation contains one dimensionless parameter as a multiplier of the first term of the right-hand side and maybe some additional dimensionless parameters, which may appear within the dimensionless source term, S. Depending on the general variable, 0, the effective diffusion coefficient, F, appearing in this dimensionless number will be different, leading to different dimensionless numbers. For the species mass fraction, momentum and enthalpy transport equations, the effective diffusion coefficient will be molecular diffusion coefficient, the kinematic viscosity of the fluid and the thermal diffusivity of the fluid respectively. The corresponding dimensionless numbers are, therefore, defined as follows.

The RNG model provides its own energy balance, which is based on the energy balance of the standard k-e model with similar changes as for the k and e balances. The RNG k-e model energy balance is defined as a transport equation for enthalpy. There are four contributions to the total change in enthalpy the temperature gradient, the total pressure differential, the internal stress, and the source term, including contributions from reaction, etc. In the traditional turbulent heat transfer model, the Prandtl number is fixed and user-defined the RNG model treats it as a variable dependent on the turbulent viscosity. It was found experimentally that the turbulent Prandtl number is indeed a function of the molecular Prandtl number and the viscosity (Kays, 1994).

This is the energy equation for two-dimensional turbulent flow. Comparing it with the equation for laminar flow shows that in turbulent flow extra terms arise because of the fluctuating velocity and temperature components. These terms arise because of the enthalpy transport caused by these fluctuating terms.

A wide range of physical models is available in most commercial CFD software. At a minimum, the flow field will be calculated by solving the conservation equations for mass and momentum. In addition to flow, many of the problems encountered in the process industry involve heat transfer also. For such applications, the temperature field can also be calculated, which is commonly done by solving a conservation equation for enthalpy. For problems involving chemical reaction, the transport equations for the chemical species involved in the reaction(s) will be solved. The creation and destruction of the species due to the reaction are modeled by means of source terms in these equations. The reaction rates determining these source terms are calculated locally, based on the values of species concentrations and temperature at each... 

In a set of introductory steps, the mixture composition and the temperature are calculated. A set of scalar transport equations on the form (12.183) is generally solved for the species mass densities and the mixture enthalpy at the next time level n - - 1. However, in reactor simulations, the enthalpy balance is frequently expressed in terms of temperature. The discrete form of the governing equations is thus written as ... 

The quantitative description of such phenomena is commonly done by solving the averaged transport-equations for momentum, enthalpy and species-concentration. The calculation of the averaged source-term due to chemical reaction is usually based on various assumptions. E. g., the assumption of infinite fast chemistry in premixed configurations leads to the so called Eddy-Break-Up-model. An other example is the assumption of flame-sheet combus-...

Due to composition and enthalpy variations when reaction occurs, the density can vary significantly. Using the one-point joint velocity-composition PDF transport equation (12.4.2-2), the terms related to convection, gravity, and the mean pressure gradient, as well as the reaction rates, appear in closed form, irrespective of variations of the density in composition space. Some effects of the variable density on the conditional expectations (12.4.2-3) and (12.4.2-4) should be considered, however.

The physics and modeling of turbulent flows are affected by combustion through the production of density variations, buoyancy effects, dilation due to heat release, molecular transport, and instabiUty (1,2,3,5,8). Consequently, the conservation equations need to be modified to take these effects into account. This modification is achieved by the use of statistical quantities in the conservation equations. For example, because of the variations and fluctuations in the density that occur in turbulent combustion flows, density weighted mean values, or Favre mean values, are used for velocity components, mass fractions, enthalpy, and temperature. The turbulent diffusion flame can also be treated in terms of a probabiUty distribution function (pdf), the shape of which is assumed to be known a priori (1).
