Static force balance

For the gravity discharge case, the height of the fluid at maximum vacuum, which is the point at which air would begin to backflow into the tank, is determined by Eq. (26-54). Equation (26-55) calculates the corresponding vacuum in the tank s headspace at this hquid height. Since the drain nozzle is open to the atmosphere, this solution is a static force balance that is satisfied when the sum of the internal pressure and the remaining fluid head is equal to the atmospheric pressure. 

As shown in the free-body diagram of Figure 2-15b, all the motion of the block is parallel to the surface of the ramp thus there is a static force balance in the y direction. 

The modified Campbell-Dontula model provides an acceptable prediction of the rate at the section exit pressure. For many cases, the coefficients of friction are adjusted until an acceptable performance is obtained. This model and the other models should always be used with caution. As previously discussed, these models use a static force balance to approximate a dynamic process. 

Here, Fg plays a similar role to that of the unknown force, in Campbell s models. Fg is resolved into forces Fj and F, and acts at an angle W to F (the flight edge). These forces are in a plane parallel to the screw root surface. The new static force balance yields ...

This equation is equivalent to the static force balance where each of the y terms is considered as the force applied to the vertex. This condition of equilibrium is often called a Neumann triangle. Equation (233) is the basis of Young s equation, which is used in the contact angle determination of liquid drops on flat substrates (see Sections 5.5 and 9.1). 

Static force balance over cake yielding the compressive stress in the matrix of particles. The sum of the accumulative frictional drag and body (gravitational or centrifugal) forces per unit of cross-sectional area is called effective pressure, a term first used in soil mechanics. 

In Chapter 4, Section 2, we discussed a variation in flooded reboiler design for low-boiling materials. As shown by Figure 4.4, we throttle the steam instead of the condensate. The static force—balance relationship is given by equation (4.1) ... 

Bubble size at departure. At departure from a heated surface, the bubble size may theoretically be obtained from a dynamic force balance on the bubble. This should include allowance for surface forces, buoyancy, liquid inertia due to bubble growth, viscous forces, and forces due to the liquid convection around the bubble. For a horizontally heated surface, the maximum static bubble size can be determined analytically as a function of contact angle, surface tension, and... 

In the case of a flowing fluid the mechanical pressure is not necessarily the same as the thermodynamic pressure as is the case in a static fluid. The pressure in a flowing fluid is defined as the average of the normal stress components. In the case of inelastic fluids, the normal stress components are equal and therefore, with the negative sign convention, equal to the pressure. It is for this reason that the pressure can be used in place of the normal stress when writing force balances for inelastic liquids, as was done in Examples 1.7-1.9. 

Neglecting the static head component of the pressure drop, a force balance at the point of incipient fluidization can be written as... 

Force balances on a differential element for these four cases appear in Fig. 4.12. The moving plate exerts a force of C fw K F / A) in all cases, where C is the portion of the wetted perimeter of the moving plate and fw is the kinematic coefficient of friction. The stationary channel walls in Cases (a) and (b) exert a force C2fwK(F/A), where fw is the static coefficient of friction and C2 is the portion of the wetted perimeter of the lower plate and side walls that is stationary. This force points in the direction of increasing force. Thus it points to the left in Case (a) and to the right in Case (b). 

Surface tension. Assuming that a membrane stretches over each interface, the magnitudes of the interfacial tension between each pair of phases are the fluid-fluid interfacial tension Ogt, the wetting fluid-solid interfacial tension oft, and the nonwetting fluid-solid interfacial tension ogs. When in static equilibrium, the vectorial force balance at the line of contact (the law of Neumann triangle, Ref. 87) gives... 

As for many immobilised enz3nnes, the hydraulic behaviour Is not adequately described by classical fluid mechanics. It was, therefore, necessary to develop a detailed mathematical model of the column hydraulics which together with a laboratory test procedure, would provide data on the basic mechanical properties of the enzyme pellet. The model Is based on a force balance across a differential element of the enzyme bed. The primary forces involved are fluid friction, wall friction, solids cohesion, static weight and buoyancy. The force balance Is integrated to provide generating functions for fluid pressure drop and solid stress pressure down the length of the column under given conditions. 

Ceramics are susceptible to contact damage and, thus, it is important to understand the stress fields that arise around contacts between two bodies. Consider the simple problem of a body being contacted by a linear force per unit thickness F, as illustrated in Fig. 4.22. The stress function for this problem can be expressed as x= CrOsinO, where C is a constant. From Eq. (4.27), the stress components are <7- =2Ccos 6/r, agg=a g=0. The constant C can be determined using statics for a force balance in the vertical direction, i.e.. 

In order to guarantee a quasi-static state in the dynamic Brazilian test, pulse shaping technique is employed for all our dynamic tests. The dynamic force balance on the two loading ends of the sample is critically assessed. Figure 3 shows the forces on both ends of the specimen in a typical test. From Eq. 1 and 2, the dynamic force on one side of the specimen PI is proportional to the sum of the incident (In) and reflected (Re) stress waves, and the dynamic force on the other side P2 is proportional to the transmitted (Tr). It can be seen from Figure 3 that the dynamic forces on both sides of the specimens are almost identical during the whole dynamic loading period. The...

These parameters at their maximum static sitiration are reported in Table 3. ... 

A very long solid body having a square cross section floats at an interface with the configuration sketched. Determine h and a at equilibrium in terms of a, densities and pg, and interfadal tension Yab-(It is not necessary to solve explicitly for h and a from the final equations yon obtain.) Hint The differential equation of interfacial statics need not be solved if one is interested only in finding h and a (and not details of the interfacial profile). One can instead write a horizontal force balance for the entire fluid interface on one side of the solid. 

In LCE, the third concept, the shape-changes were transferred from the micro to the macroscopic level and led to mechanical stress or strain. In liquid crystals the induced stresses resulting from the phase transition of the LC phase were balanced by flow. When the LC moieties were incorporated in a polymer network representing an LCE, the free flow was prevented and led to static forces. This behavior had been predicted by de Gennes in 1975, but it took several years of research until the first LCEs were presented [131]. This effect is called two-way SME in [132], which is not a suitable term as this polymer does not enable two distinct and steady shapes.
