A basic starting point in the development of predictive absorption models is to review the mathematical descriptions of rate and extent of dmg absorption. A physical model for simultaneous fluid flow and intestinal absorption that applies broadly to idealised simulation experiments, animal studies, and in vivo studies in humans has been described by Ho et al. [30] and is depicted in Figure 2.4.

As we consider simultaneous fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media, the role of the macroscopic (Darcean) and microscopic (pore-level) velocity fields on the temperature field needs to be examined. Experiments have shown that the mere inclusion of u0 V(T) in the energy equation does not accurately account for all the hydrodynamic effects. The pore-level hydrodynamics also influence the temperature field. Inclusion of the effect of the pore-level velocity nonuniformity on the temperature distribution (called the dispersion effect and generally included as a diffusion transport) is the main focus in this section. 

Clearly, the maximum degree of simplification of the problem is achieved by using the greatest possible number of fundamentals since each yields a simultaneous equation of its own. In certain problems, force may be used as a fundamental in addition to mass, length, and time, provided that at no stage in the problem is force defined in terms of mass and acceleration. In heat transfer problems, temperature is usually an additional fundamental, and heat can also be used as a fundamental provided it is not defined in terms of mass and temperature and provided that the equivalence of mechanical and thermal energy is not utilised. Considerable experience is needed in the proper use of dimensional analysis, and its application in a number of areas of fluid flow and heat transfer is seen in the relevant chapters of this Volume. 

A physical model for simultaneous bulk fluid flow and absorption in the intestinal tract under steady-state conditions is presented in Figure 2.5. 

For a problem involving fluid flow and simultaneous heat and mass transfer, equations of continuity, momentum, energy, and chemical species (Eqs. 1.41, 1.44, 1.54, and 1.63) are a formidable set of partial differential equations. There are four independent variables three space coordinates (say, x, y, z) and a time coordinate t. 

Heat transfer associated with simultaneous fluid flow parallel to a cocurrently or counter -currently moving surface has been analyzed under the UWT boundary conditions when U > Us and when U , < Us (Fig. 18.11c). Laminar [63] and turbulent [72] flow situations have been studied.

The third chapter addresses linear second-order ordinary differential equations. A brief discourse, it reviews elementary differential equations, and the chapter serves as an important basis to the solution techniques of partial differential equations discussed in Chapter 6. An applications section is also included with ten worked-out examples covering heat transfer, fluid flow, and simultaneous diffusion and chemical reaction. In addition, the residue theorem as an alternative method for Laplace transform inversion is introduced. 

The result of the discretization process is a finite set of coupled algebraic equations that need to be solved simultaneously in every cell in the solution domain. Because of the nonlinearity of the equations that govern the fluid flow and related processes, an iterative solution procedure is required. Two methods are commonly used. A segregated solution approach is one where one variable at a time is solved throughout the entire domain. Thus, the x-component of the velocity is solved on the entire domain, then the y-component is solved, and so on. One iteration of the solution is complete only after each variable has been solved in this manner. A coupled solution approach, on the other hand, is one where all variables, or at a minimum, momentum and continuity, are solved simultaneously in a single... 

This mass transfer step has been extensively studied, primarily through the examination of simple physical transfer processes, such as vaporization or drying. Thus, the mass transfer component of the overall reaction sequence is perhaps the best understood. While it is possible to calculate the rate of mass transfer between a moving gas stream and a solid surface by the simultaneous solution of the appropriate fluid flow and diffusion equations [1, Chapter 17], here we shall adopt a more empirical approach through the use of mass transfer coefficients, although some comments will be made about the way these two approaches may be regarded as complementary.

Viscoelastic fluids are thus capable of exerting normal stresses. Because most materials, under appropriate circumstances, show simultaneously solid-like and fluid-like behaviours in varying proportions, the notion of an ideal elastic solid or of a purely viscous fluid represents the commonly encountered limiting condition. For instance, the viscosity of ice and the elasticity of water may both pass unnoticed The response of a material may also depend upon the type of deformation to which it is subjected. A material may behave like a highly elastic solid in one flow situation, and like a viscous fluid in another. 

Flow is generally classified as shear flow and extensional flow [2]. Simple shear flow is further divided into two categories Steady and unsteady shear flow. Extensional flow also could be steady and unsteady however, it is very difficult to measure steady extensional flow. Unsteady flow conditions are quite often measured. Extensional flow differs from both steady and unsteady simple shear flows in that it is a shear free flow. In extensional flow, the volume of a fluid element must remain constant. Extensional flow can be visualized as occurring when a material is longitudinally stretched as, for example, in fibre spinning. When extension occurs in a single direction, the related flow is termed uniaxial extensional flow. Extension of polymers or fibers can occur in two directions simultaneously, and hence the flow is referred as biaxial extensional or planar extensional flow. 

A pipeline (10 cm I.D., 19.1 m long) simultaneously transports gas and liquid from here to there. The volumetric flow rate of gas and liquid are 60 000 cm /s and 300 cm /s, respectively. Pulse tracer tests on the fluids flowing through the pipe give results as shown in Fig. PI 1.6. What fraction of the pipe is occupied by gas and what fraction by liquid ... 

Drag reduction decreases with flow time — which is in most application undesirable — and is obviously caused by a degradation of the polymer chain. Degradation of polymeric additives in turbulent flow cannot be easily understood on the basis of present knowledge, i.e., predictions towards the onset of chain scission cannot yet be made. These difficulties can be attributed, on the one hand, to the complex fluid structure and, on the other hand, to the fact that both shear and tensile stresses act simultaneously in turbulent flows.
