Temperature at the wall

At this point the computer takes over. Gases with several values of jacket temperature and several values of heat-transfer coefficient, or hU/kg, are examined, and also several assumptions about the temperature at the wall at the inlet. Eq. (U) with n = 0 could be used. The number of axial increments are found for several cases of 50% conversion. Two of the profiles of temperature or conversion are shown in Fig. 23-6. 

Djj. The Grashof number Nq, = Dj pgpAto/p" were is equivalent diameter, g is acceleration due to gravity, p is coefficient of volumetric expansion, p is viscosity, p is density, and Atg is the difference between the temperature at the wall and that in the bulk fluid. Nq, must be calculated from fluid properties at the bulk temperature.

The problem solved is to find the number of steps along the axis required to make the average conversion x - 0.5. Several values of jacket temperature and heat transfer coefficient are employed. Also investigated is the effect of taking the inlet temperature at the wall either the same as elsewhere at the entrance or the average with the flue gas temperature, that is. 

This equation is known as Newton s law of cooling, and Tw is the surface temperature and Tf is a characteristic fluid temperature. At the wall, the fluid velocity is zero, and the heat-transfer takes place by conduction. Therefore, applying Fourier s law to the fluid at y = 0 (where y is the axis normal to the solid surface) and combining it with Newton s law, we have ... 

We assume that these conditions are met so that the boundary conditions for all the substances and the temperature at the walls are the same. 

Here, we are using a second order approximation for the second derivative using the correct info-travel concept for the conduction term. This equation comes from the energy balance within the domain, thus it will be used for the internal nodes n = 2,3 and 4. The boundary condition for the first node is the temperature at the wall to which the fin is attached to... 

The boundary conditions on temperature at the wall depend on the thermal conditions specified at the wall. If the distribution of the temperature of the wall is specified then, since the fluid in contact with the wall must be at the same temperature as the wall, the boundary condition on temperature is ... 

Using Fourier s law, thq boundary condition on temperature at the wall in the specified heat flux case is ... 

Two possible boundary conditions on temperature at the wall will be considered in the present section, i.e., it will be assumed that either ... 

Therefore, since qw = 0 if the wall is adiabatic, the gradient of temperature at the wall must be zero if the wall is adiabatic. 

Derive equations that describe the temperature profiles for a plane wall, long hollow cylinder, and hollow sphere. Assume constant thermal conductivity, and temperature at the walls as Tt and 7 2. 

In case of rarefied gas flow, there is a finite temperature difference between the wall temperature and the fluid temperature at the wall. A temperature jump coefficient has been proposed as ... 

Hydrodynamically fully-developed laminar gaseous flow in a cylindrical microchannel with constant heat flux boundary condition was considered by Ameel et al. [2[. In this work, two simplifications were adopted reducing the applicability of the results. First, the temperature jump boundary condition was actually not directly implemented in these solutions. Second, both the thermal accommodation coefficient and the momentum accommodation coefficient were assumed to be unity. This second assumption, while reasonable for most fluid-solid combinations, produces a solution limited to a specified set of fluid-solid conditions. The fluid was assumed to be incompressible with constant thermophysical properties, the flow was steady and two-dimensional, and viscous heating was not included in the analysis. They used the results from a previous study of the same problem with uniform temperature at the boundary by Barron et al. [6[. Discontinuities in both velocity and temperature at the wall were considered. The fully developed Nusselt number relation was given by... 

Prandtl number is important, since it directly influences the magnitude of the temperature jump. As Pr increases, the difference between the wall and the fluid temperatures at the wall decreases, resulting in greater Nu values. 

After the temperature distribution was obtained, following definitions were used to calculate the Nusselt number. Non-dimensionalizing the temperature by the fluid temperature at the wall instead of the wall temperature makes the boundary eondition for the eigenvalue problem easier to handle for the uniform temperature boundary condition. Then they derived the Nusselt number equations from the energy balanee at the wall so that temperature jump could be implemented. The details of this derivation ean be found in the references. 

Another characteristie of rarefied gas flow is that there is a finite difference between the fluid temperature at the wall and the wall temperature. Temperature jump is first proposed to be... 

In figure 3, we show the Nusselt number values in the thermally developing range in a cylindrical channel with a prescribed temperature at the wall. For both cases, as Kn increases, the Nusselt number decreases due to the increasing temperature jump. We note here that the decrease is greater when we consider viscous dissipation. While the fully developed Nusselt number for the noslip condition is 6.4231 when Br = 0.01, it is 3.0729 for Kn = 0.12 (52.2 % decrease as opposed to a 35.6 % decrease for the no-viscous heating case). 

In any case, the fluid temperature at the wall is different from that at the centerline of the flow. When the fluid is being heated, the wall temperature is higher than the centerline temperature, and vice versa for cooling the fluid. The bulk or mixing cup temperature of the fluid, T, is the temperature that would be measured if the total flow through a cross section were collected over a given period and perfectly mixed. The bulk temperature is intermediate between the wall temperature and the centerline temperature (but usually close to the latter) and is the temperature that... 

The constructed algorithm for the inverse analysis was then also validated for this same benchmark problem with Bi = co, from a theoretical perspective, assuming the fluid temperature at the wall to be measurable. Simulated experimental results were produced with 50 terms in the eigenfunction expansion provided in Ref. [6], and the direct problem solution in the inverse analysis was implemented with just 10 terms in the expansion here proposed to avoid the so called inverse crime [28]. A total of 1,000 measurements are provided, with white noise considered normally distributed... 

Specified electron energy distribution function The EEDF is specified, normally assumed Maxwellian (Eq. 9). The electron energy balance (Eq. 31) is solved assuming an adiabatic condition for electron temperature at the wall. The Maxwellian assumption is very common in the literature [100, 125, 126, 130, 133, 135-137]. Measured EEDFs in ICPs, however, have a Maxwellian bulk (due to electron-electron collisions), and a depleted tail due to inelastic losses and escape of fast electrons to the walls. Thus a bi-Maxwellian distribution may be more appropriate [154]. A Maxwellian distribution is not expected to have a great effect on ion densities since the ionization rate is self-adjusted to balance the loss rate of ions to the walls and the latter depends only very weakly on the EEDF. The good agreement with experimental data [101, 130, 148, 152] is an indirect evidence that the Maxwellian EEDF is reasonable for obtaining species densities and their distributions. Other forms of...
