Heat loss compressible fluids

Gas phase viscosity data, iTq, are used in the design of compressible fluid flow and unit operations. For example, the viscosity of a gas is required to determine the maximum permissible flow through a given process pipe size. Alternatively, the pressure loss of a given flowrate can be calculated. Viscosity data are needed for the design of process equipment involving heat, momentum, and mass transfer operations. The gas viscosity of mixtures is obtained from data for the individual components in the mixture. 

The flow of compressible fluids (e.g., gases and vapors) through pipelines and other restrictions is often affected by changing conditions of pressure, temperature, and physical properties. The densities of gases and vapors vary with temperature and pressure. During isothermal flow, i.e., constant temperature (PV = constant) density varies with pressure. Conversely, in adiabatic flow, i.e., no heat loss (PV " = constant), a decrease in temperature occurs when pressure decreases, resulting in a density increase. At high pressures and temperatures, the compressibility factor can be less than unity, which results in an increase in the fluid density.

Starting at point (1), the fluid is compressed without heat loss (adiabatically) or mechanical loss to point (2). The absolute temperature rises from to T2 during this compression. The fluid expands at constant temperature without losses to point (3) as it takes heat Q ) from a reservoir at temperature (T ), It then expands without heat or mechanical loss to point (4) as the temperature of the fluid drops to Tj. The fluid is compressed adiabatically back to point (1) at constant temperature as it rejects heat (Qj) to a second reservoir having a constant temperature (Tj). From points (2) to (3) and (3) to (4), work equal to Q2 is delivered to an external system, but from (4) to (1) and (1) to (2), work equal to Qi is taken from an external system. The net work done is Q2 - 2i) and the efficiency of the process (e ) is ... 

For two-phase flow, heat gain/loss is also an important consideration, because this dictates the vapor/liquid fraction of the flow. Apart from changing the overall physical properties, this also changes the flow regime and will have a substantial impact in pressure drop calculation. The heat loss/ gain can be used for compressible fluids for better results however, it is of less importance for multiphase flow, unless the thermodynamic correlations are used to estimate the vapor/liquid fraction of the fluid. 

Other Energy Systems. Chemical plants usually require cooling water, compressed air, and fuel distribution systems. Sometimes also included are refrigeration, pressurized hot water, or specialized heat-transfer fluids such as Therrninol Hquid or condensing vapor. Each of these systems serves the process and reflabiUty is the most important characteristic. Thus a project in any of them that achieves a 10% reduction in energy cost at the expense of a 1% loss of rehabihty loses money for the operation. 

Ultrasonic velocity has been almost exclusively measured in ultrasonic studies of fat crystallization, but the attenuation coefficient also can reveal interesting information. As the sound wave passes, the fluid is alternately compressed and rarefied which results in the formation of rapidly varying temperature gradients. Heat energy is lost because the conduction mechanisms are inefficient (thermal losses) and together with molecular friction (viscous losses) cause an attenuation of the sound given by classical scattering theory (5) ... 

For adequate design and performance predictions, nmiideal effects such as blockage, pressure loss, deviation, and endwall secondary flows should also be cmisidered. If the wall and flow temperatures differ, significant heat transfer can also occur and should be considered, especially for compressible flows. Extensive literature and a solid design basis on the aerodynamics of microturbomachinery are not yet available since the range of Re encountered (100 < Re < 10, 000) is not common in past applications. Furthermore, experimental measurements are challenging at the microscale with traditional instrumentation. The use of computational fluid...
