Since the middle of the 1990s, another computation method, direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), has been employed in analysis of ultra-thin film gas lubrication problems [13-15]. DSMC is a particle-based simulation scheme suitable to treat rarefied gas flow problems. It was introduced by Bird [16] in the 1970s. It has been proven that a DSMC solution is an equivalent solution of the Boltzmann equation, and the method has been effectively used to solve gas flow problems in aerospace engineering. However, a disadvantageous feature of DSMC is heavy time consumption in computing, compared with the approach by solving the slip-flow or F-K models. This limits its application to two- or three-dimensional gas flow problems in microscale. In the... 

Then the molar translational entropy of a three-dimensional gas is (Sackur-Tetrode equation) ... 

The two-dimensional -0t isotherms will of course have the familiar (in p-V isotherms) van der Waals equation loops, indicating a condensation from a two-dimensional gas to a two-dimensional liquid if T < T2c. Correspondingly, the adsorption isotherm, assuming the three-dimensional gas phase to be perfect,... 

The introduction of the concepts of adsorbed layer and surface pressure has an important consequence their product is dimensionally an energy equivalent to the pV product. A plot of the product of surface pressure, 7t, and molar surface area. A, of adsorbed component versus tc is similar to a plot of pF versus p for a three-dimensional gas. An equation of state for the two-dimensional layer can thus be written ... 

The basic scheme for the numerical solution is the same as that used for the 1 -D model, except that in this case the solid temperature field used to solve the DAE system for each monolith channel must be calculated from the three-dimensional solid-phase energy balance equation. The three-dimensional energy balance equation can be solved by a nonlinear finite element solver (such as ABAQUS) for the solid-phase temperature field while a nonlinear finite difference solver for the DAE system calculates the gas-phase temperature and... 

From this equation and Eqs. (2) and (4) the energy of the system can be obtained. The entropy is more difficult to derive, and we refer to the literature [4,6]. Generally, the quasichemical gives better results than the mean-field approximation, since it allows for local order. We note that for the three-dimensional lattice gas no exact analytical solution exists. 

A complete description of the reactor bed involves the six differential equations that describe the catalyst, gas, and thermal well temperatures, CO and C02 concentrations, and gas velocity. These are the continuity equation, three energy balances, and two component mass balances. The following equations are written in dimensional quantities and are general for packed bed analyses. Systems without a thermal well can be treated simply by letting hts, hlg, and R0 equal zero and by eliminating the thermal well energy equation. Adiabatic conditions are simulated by setting hm and hvg equal to zero. 

The mathematical model developed in the preceding section consists of six coupled, three-dimensional, nonlinear partial differential equations along with nonlinear algebraic boundary conditions, which must be solved to obtain the temperature profiles in the gas, catalyst, and thermal well the concentration profiles and the velocity profile. Numerical solution of these equations is required. 

The first step in the solution procedure is discretization in the radial dimension, which involves writing the three-dimensional differential equations as an enlarged set of two-dimensional equations at the radial collocation points with the assumed profile identically satisfying the radial boundary conditions. An examination of experimental measurements (Valstar et al., 1975) and typical radial profiles in packed beds (Finlayson, 1971) indicates that radial temperature profiles can be represented adequately by a quadratic function of radial position. The quadratic representation is preferable to one of higher order since only one interior collocation point is then necessary,6 thus not increasing the dimensionality of the system. The assumed radial temperature profile for either the gas or solid is of the form... 

Using the previously derived expressions for q, we can now obtain expressions for each of the entropy terms. Equation 8.59 gives the molecular partition function for three-dimensional translational motion of a gas. Substituting this qtrans into Eq. 8.102, we obtain... 

The three-dimensional, fully parabolic flow approximation for momentum and heat- and mass-transfer equations has been used to demonstrate the occurrence of these longitudinal roll cells and their effect on growth rate uniformity in Si CVD from SiH4 (87) and GaAs MOCVD from Ga(CH3)3 and AsH3 (189). However, gas expansion in the entrance zone combined with flow obstructions, such as a steeply sloped susceptor, can also produce... 

One-dimensional flow models are adopted in the early stages of model development for predicting the solids holdup and pressure drop in the riser. These models consider the steady flow of a uniform suspension. Four differential equations, including the gas continuity equation, solids phase continuity equation, gas-solid mixture momentum equation, and solids phase momentum equation, are used to describe the flow dynamics. The formulation of the solids phase momentum equation varies with the models employed [e.g., Arastoopour and Gidaspow, 1979 Gidaspow, 1994], The one-dimensional model does not simulate the prevailing characteristics of radial nonhomogeneity in the riser. Thus, two- or three-dimensional models are required. 

Equation (26) represents the intersection of two surfaces in p(P, T) space. The intersection of two surfaces is a curve in the three-dimensional space. The projection of this curve on the PT plane is given by P(T). Because P is a function of T, at equilibrium between two phases, the system has been reduced to one degree of freedom by the requirement of Eq. (26). If one of the phases is a gas, P(T) is the vapor pressure curve of the condensed phase. If both phases are condensed, P is the externally applied pressure. Alternatively, we could consider T(P), which gives the temperature at which two phases are at equilibrium as a function of pressure. 

A major limitation of the present work is that it deals only with well-defined (and mostly unidirectional) flow fields and simple homogeneous and catalytic reactor models. In addition, it ignores the coupling between the flow field and the species and energy balances which may be due to physical property variations or dependence of transport coefficients on state variables. Thus, a major and useful extension of the present work is to consider two- or three-dimensional flow fields (through simplified Navier-Stokes or Reynolds averaged equations), include physical property variations and derive lowdimensional models for various types of multi-phase reactors such as gas-liquid, fluid-solid (with diffusion and reaction in the solid phase) and gas-liquid-solid reactors. 

Modeling a disk by solving the full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is a complicated task. Moreover, it is still not fully understood what is the cause of frictional forces in the disk. Molecular viscosity is by orders of magnitude too small to cause any appreciable accretion. Instead, the most widely accepted view is that instabilities within the disk drive turbulence that increases the effective viscosity of the gas (see Section 3.2.5). A powerful simplification of the problem is (a) to assume a parameterization of the viscosity, the so-called a-viscosity (Shakura Syunyaev 1973) ((3-viscosity in the case of shear instabilities, Richard Zahn 1999) and (b) to split the disk into annuli, each of which constitutes an independent one-dimensional (ID) vertical disk structure problem. This then constitutes a 1+1D model a series of ID vertical models glued together in radial direction. Many models go even one step further in the simplification by considering only the vertically integrated or representative quantities such as the surface density X(r) = p(r, z.)dz... 

The thermodynamic state of a pure component is determined by three variables the pressure P, the volume V, and the temperature T. The relationship between these three variables is known as the state equation and is represented by a surface in the three-dimensional plotting of P, V, and T. Any pure component, following the value of these three parameters, will be either a solid (S), a liquid (L), or a gas (G). A plot of P against T, or P against V is generally preferred because of its easier application. 

Howarth (H15) developed an expression for collision efficiencies by assuming an analogy to bimolecular gas reactions. He assumed that a critical relative velocity IV exists along the lines of centers of two colliding drops which must be exceeded for a collision to result in a coalescence. By assuming that the three-dimensional Maxwell s equation describes the drop turbulent velocity fluctuations, he obtained the coalescence efficiency as the fraction of drops which have kinetic energy exceeding IV. Thus,...
