General force balance

Equation (32) is the generalized force balance differential equation for non-fluidized gas-particle flow. In this equation, for an inclined cylindrical moving bed, a = 0 for a vertical conical moving bed, 0 = 0 for vertical cylindrical moving bed, a = 0 and 0 = 0 and for a vertical cylindrical moving bed without interstitial gas flow, a = 0,0 = 0, and dp/dz = 0 simultaneously. 

In combination with a general force balance, Einstein s diffiision law results in Equation 8.5b, which permits the estimation of the mass of each particle. Thus, upon combining diffiision experiments (for obtaining D) and sedimentation (gravitational) experiments (for obtaining ), we can estimate the mass of colloidal particles without any assumption about their shape. Finally, due to Einstein s diffiision law Df= kgT), the ratio f/fo is equal to DqID, where Do is the diffusion coefficient of a system containing the equivalent unsolvated spheres. 

The forces acting on the spin line are given in the general force balance (Ziabicki, 1976) ... 

The flow can be radial, that is, in or out through a hole in the center of one of the plates [75] the relationship between E and f (Eq. V-46) is independent of geometry. As an example, a streaming potential of 8 mV was measured for 2-cm-radius mica disks (one with a 3-mm exit hole) under an applied pressure of 20 cm H2 on QT M KCl at 21°C [75]. The i potentials of mica measured from the streaming potential correspond well to those obtained from force balance measurements (see Section V-6 and Chapter VI) for some univalent electrolytes however, important discrepancies arise for some monovalent and all multivalent ions. The streaming potential results generally support a single-site dissociation model for mica with Oo, Uff, and at defined by the surface site equilibrium [76]. 

The variation of the shear stress rrx with radial coordinate r can be determined by making a force balance similar to that in Example 1.7 but using an element extending from the centre-line to a general radial distance r. 

When analysing simple flow problems such as laminar flow in a pipe, where the form of the velocity profile and the directions in which the shear stresses act are already known, no formal sign convention for the stress components is required. In these cases, force balances can be written with the shear forces incorporated according to the directions in which the shear stresses physically act, as was done in Examples 1.7 and 1.8. However, in order to derive general equations for an arbitrary flow field it is necessary to adopt a formal sign convention for the stress components. 

The effective balance of soft forces obtained in Section IV may be generalized to a corresponding Cartesian force balance of the form... 

When the apparatus begins to rotate, the fluid experiences an initial acceleration, but a stationary state is rapidly attained in which forces balance and acceleration is zero. Equation (5) gives a generalized expression for torque under stationary-state conditions it must be independent of r. If this were not the case, forces would be different in different parts of the fluid, and acceleration would occur. Accordingly, we set the torque on this volume element equal to a constant ... 

Another commonly used model is based on the general differential balance of mass and momentum [Burgers, 1948]. Consider a steady, incompressible, and axially symmetric flow in which the body forces are negligible. In cylindrical coordinates, the equation of continuity of the fluid can be given as... 

By equating the pressure gradient and the gas-particle drag force, the general momentum balance for the gas phase can be expressed as... 

Fair s (31), and Zuiderweg s (17] correlations as those that are generally more reliable. Other design publications (4,18,64) recommended the use of Fair s correlation (31). The author has also had favorable experience with it. According to Fair s model (31), the force balance defining the weep point is... 

Many solid circulation loops require that the standpipe or at least a portion of it be inclined to the vertical because of layout constraints. Therefore, an inclined conical moving bed is regarded as a generalized case for analysis. Axial force balance on an elemental slice of material shown in Fig. 21a gives... 

To determine the normal stress distribution in the green body, a force balance is performed on the generalized volume element shown in Figure 13.33. This z component of the equilibrium force balance with... 

In the classical treatment of surface tensions, it is intuitively assumed that the surface tension of a solid, 7s, can be assigned as if it is a material constant. In a practical sense, Eq. (25.3) is valid if the surface tension of the solid does not change after the contact with the liquid (sessile droplet) is made. While Young s equation describes the force balance at the three-phase line, it does not give information relevant to the true interfacial tension at the interface that is beneath the droplet, which is the major concern of surface dynamics. In general cases, 7s and 7sl are... 

If the external potential energy —Ze2/r in an atom having nuclear charge Ze) is written as Vext, then their generalization of Eq. (28) is a vector force balance equation ... 

Wolf et al. calculated the equilibrium size of droplets formed in a phase-separated system. From a force balance, he derived an expression Indicating that the equilibrium droplet size r is a decreasing function of shear rate and that when r approaches the radius of gyration of the polymer molecules, redissolution will have occurred. Recently Kramer and Wolf have generalized the approach and formulated simple criteria for solution, respectively demixing (16). 

Although the expression (2-131) is a perfectly general statement of the force balance at an interface, it is not particularly useful in this form because it is an overall balance on a macroscopic element of the interface. To be used in conjunction with the differential Navier-Stokes equations, which apply pointwise in the two bulk fluids, we require a condition equivalent to (2-131) that applies at each point on the interface. For this purpose, it is necessary to convert the line integral on C to a surface integral on A. To do this, we use an exact integral transformation (Problem 2-26) that can be derived as a generalization of Stokes theorem ...
