What this transcription into dimensionless variables means physically is very interesting. It means that, if expressed in terms of the dimensionless variables v, x and t, any two fluid problems will have essentially the same flow solutions whenever their Reynolds numbers are equal. This is of considerable practical importance. of course, since it implies that the air flow past an airplane wing, for example,... 

When determining the appropriate fluid to be utilized, it is important to first determine the type of fluid problem (TBW versus ECF depletion), and start therapy accordingly. For patients demonstrating signs of impaired tissue perfusion, the immediate therapeutic goal is to increase the intravascular volume and restore tissue perfusion. The standard therapy is normal saline given at 150 to 500 mL/hour until perfusion is optimized. Although LR is a therapeutic alternative, lactic... 

For the student, this is a basic text for a first-level course in process engineering fluid mechanics, which emphasizes the systematic application of fundamental principles (e.g., macroscopic mass, energy, and momentum balances and economics) to the analysis of a variety of fluid problems of a practical nature. Methods of analysis of many of these operations have been taken from the recent technical literature, and have not previously been available in textbooks. This book includes numerous problems that illustrate these applications at the end of each chapter. 

The principal strain rates are eigenvalues of the strain-rate tensor (matrix). As described more fully in Section A.21, the direction cosines that describe the orientation of the principal strain rates are the eigenvectors associated with the eigenvalues. In solving practical fluids problems, there is rarely a need to determine the principal strain rates or their orientations. Rather, these notions are used theoretically with the Stokes postulates to form general relationships between the strain-rate and stress tensors. It is perhaps worth noting that in solid mechanics, the principal stresses and strains have practical utility in understanding the behavior of materials and structures. 

We once again nondimensionalize the equation for the sake of some generality and to help understand the relationships among the physical parameters. In addition to the normalization parameters used in the fluid problem alone, a parameter is needed to normalize temperature. Here we choose...

In the confined fluid problem, in the absence of time-dependent shearing boundary conditions, we needed a massive thermostating scheme to stabilize the shear flow. In this scheme, each degree of freedom represented in Eqs. [202] is attached to a separate thermostat, to make the p,- of every particle truly peculiar with respect to the flow profile. The use of one global thermostat for...

Introductory note Most transport and/or fluids problems are not amenable to analysis by classical methods for linear differential equations, either because the equations are nonlinear (or simply too comphcated in the case of the thermal energy equation, which is linear in temperature if natural convection effects can be neglected), or because the solution domain is complicated in shape (or in the case of problems involving a fluid interface having a shape that is a priori unknown). Analytic results can then be achieved only by means of approximations. One approach is to simply discretize the equations in some way and turn on the computer. Another is to use the family of approximations methods known as asymptotic approximations that lead to useful concepts such as boundary layers, etc. This course is about the latter approach. However, it is not just a... 

Several suggestions have been made about possible choices of P. Usually (for fluid problems) a particle is chosen at random and moved through a distance uniformly distributed in a unit cube of side centered on the initial position of the particle. Convergence rates will normally depend critically on the value of d chosen. If d is too small, the space will not be adequately sampled, although most moves will be accepted, while, if d is too large, most moves will be rejected (at least in a dense system) and the sampling will again be inadequate. The rule of thumb often used is to choose d so that about half of the moves are accepted. 

The basic techniques of the conventional Monte Carlo methods applied to fluid problems have changed little since their invention. Recently, however, there has been a good deal of experimentation seeking to tinker with the technique in order to get new kinds of information. This chapter examined a (no doubt biased) sample of such attempts. 

Barite is frequently contaminated with alkaline-soluble carbonate and sulfide minerals that cause serious drilling fluid problems. Therefore, small concentrations of impurities in barite can lead to significant contamination of the drilling fluid. ... 

A third type of procedure integrates all the necessary reagents in one or more layers of a reactive zone (test strips). To use these systems, a drop or precise volume of a fluid problem is placed on one of the surfaces of the solid-phase element by dipping or addition, where it diffuses into the reaction zone and dissolves the reagents. After the reaction, the generated luminescent signal is measured on the device itself by means of a compact analyzer or by a fully... 

The power law fluid problem in pure drag flow was solved by Gavis and Laurence [302] without the assumption of negligible viscous dissipation. Their anaiysis was based on parallel plates of equal temperature. Rauwendaal [271] extended this anaiysis to parallel plates maintained at different temperatures this anaiysis wiii be presented next. The momentum equation for pure drag flow can be integrated to express the shear stress as follows ... 

CFD codes are structured aroimd the numerical algorithms that can help tackle fluid problems. To provide easy access to their solving power, all commercial CFD packages include sophisticated user interfaces to input problem parameters and to examine the results. Hence, all codes contain three main elements ... 

As was found for the analogous blend, the application of site-site atomiclike closure (e.g., MSA) to the diblock copolymer fluid problem predicts a qualitatively incorrect N dependence of the long-wavelength thermal concentrations fluctuations. Thus, use of the molecular closure... 

B.4 Adapting the Parallel Plate Solution to Annular Flow. For small annular gaps (e.g., k = 0.9) the expression for Q for flow through a slit of a power-law fluid (Problem 2B.3) ean be used to obtain an expression for Q for annular flow. Adapt the parallel plate flow solution for the power-law model to that for flow through an annulus with a small gap (you should obtain the expression in Eq. 2.103).
