Internal forced flow

Heat and mass transfer apparatus normally consist of channels, frequently tubes, in which a fluid is heated, cooled or changes its composition. While the boundary layers in flow over bodies, for example over a flat plate, can develop freely without influence from neighbouring restrictions, in channels it is completely enclosed and so the boundary layer cannot develop freely. In the following the flow, and then the heat and mass transfer in tubes will be discussed. After this we will study flow through packed and fluidised beds.

Bellows can vibrate, both from internal fluid flow and externally imposed mechanical vibrations. Internal flow liner sleeves prevent flow-induced resonance, which produces bellows fatigue failure in minutes at high flow velocities. Mechanically induced resonant vibration is avoided by a bellows with a natural frequency far away from the forcing frequency, if known. Multiple-ply bellows are less susceptible to vibration failure because of the damping effect of interply friction. 

The most reliable recycle reactors are those with a centrifugal pump, a fixed bed of catalyst, and a well-defined and forced flow path through the catalyst bed. Some of those shown on the two bottom rows in Jankowski s papers are of this type. From these, large diameter and/or high speed blowers are needed to generate high pressure increase and only small gaps can be tolerated between catalyst basket and blower, to minimize internal back flow. 

As a fluid is deformed because of flow and applied external forces, frictional effects are exhibited by the motion of molecules relative to each other. The effects are encountered in all fluids and are due to their viscosities. Considering a thin layer of fluid between two parallel planes, distance y apart as shown in Figure 3.4 with the lower plane fixed and a shearing force F applied to the other, since fluids deform continuously under shear, the upper plane moves at a steady velocity ux relative to the fixed lower plane. When conditions are steady, the force F is balanced by an internal force in the fluid due to its viscosity and the shear force per unit area is proportional to the velocity gradient in the fluid, or ...

There are many types of internal forced convection. This chapter examines selected examples. Flows with heat transfer between parallel plates and flows in pipes, tubes and ducts are considered. 

Viscosity is an internal force of friction which acts oppositely to the flowing fluid. Walden s rule is also applicable to molten salts. Shabanov [54] applied that rule for the limiting equivalent electrical conductivities (see Figure 7) ... 

Forced convection heat transfer is probably the most common mode in the process industries. Forced flows may be internal or external. This subsection briefly introduces correlations for estimating heat-transfer coefficients for flows in tubes and ducts flows across plates, cylinders, and spheres flows through tube banks and packed beds heat transfer to nonevaporating falling films and rotating surfaces. Section 11 introduces several types of heat exchangers, design procedures, overall heat-transfer coefficients, and mean temperature differences.

On the other hand, the heat fransfer literatiue of the last decade has demonstrated a vivid and growing interest in thermal analysis of flows in micro-channels, botii tiirough experimental and analytical approaches, in connection with cooling techniques of micro-electronics and witii tiie development of micro-electromechanical sensors and actuators (MEMS), as also pointed out in recent reviews [12-16]. Since tiie available analytical information on heat fransfer in ducts could not be directly extended to flows witiiin microch mels with wall slip, a number of contributions have been recentiy directed towards the analysis of internal forced convection in the micro-scale.

The collection of various structures in nature or in engineering subjected to a flow of water or air will be extended and discussed in more details in the consequent chapters. The flows associated with them, despite their diversity, can be nevertheless united by the fact that one needs to account both for the internal flow within the permeable structure and for the external free flow over it. Deceleration of the flow within the obstructed but penetrable layer was found to depend significantly upon the closeness of the obstructions characterized by the density n, l/m3 or s, m2/m3. This fact prompts a uniform mathematical treatment of all the above-discussed different flows. It can be suggested to represent obstructions in mathematical models by individual forces Pj7 whereas their collective action on the flow can be described by a smeared (distributed) force (1.6)—(1.7) that acts within the layer but equals zero outside it. The force is discontinuous on the interface between the structure and the flow z = h, so that the interaction between the internal retarded flow and the free external one takes place.
