The Energy Equation

The MM energy equation is a sum of sums that began in a simple form, for example. 

The general CCSD(F12) energy expression has the following form 

In an energy balance over a volume element of a chemical reactor, kinetic, potential, and work terms may usually be neglected relative to the heat of reaction and other heat transfer terms so that the balance reduces to

The themiodynamic properties calculated by different routes are different, since the MS solution is an approximation. The osmotic coefficient from the virial pressure, compressibility and energy equations are not the same. Of these, the energy equation is the most accurate by comparison with computer simulations of Card and Valleau [ ]. The osmotic coefficients from the virial and compressibility equations are... 

The osmotic coefficients from the HNC approximation were calculated from the virial and compressibility equations the discrepancy between ([ly and ((ij is a measure of the accuracy of the approximation. The osmotic coefficients calculated via the energy equation in the MS approximation are comparable in accuracy to the HNC approximation for low valence electrolytes. Figure A2.3.15 shows deviations from the Debye-Htickel limiting law for the energy and osmotic coefficient of a 2-2 RPM electrolyte according to several theories.

Analogy between Momentum and Heat Transfer The interrelationship of momentum transfer and heat transfer is obvious from examining the equations of motion and energy. For constant flmd properties, the equations of motion must be solved before the energy equation is solved. If flmd properties are not constant, the equations are coupled, and their solutions must proceed simultaneously. Con-... 

Laminar Flow Normally, laminar flow occurs in closed ducts when Nrc < 2100 (based on equivalent diameter = 4 X free area -i-perimeter). Laminar-flow heat transfer has been subjected to extensive theoretical study. The energy equation has been solved for a variety of boundaiy conditions and geometrical configurations. However, true laminar-flow heat transfer veiy rarely occurs. Natural-convecdion effects are almost always present, so that the assumption that molecular conduction alone occurs is not vahd. Therefore, empirically derived equations are most rehable. 

At this point in the inside-out method, the revised column profiles of temperature and phase compositions are used in the outer loop with the complex SRK thermodynamic models to compute updates of the approximate K and H constants. Then only one inner-loop iteration is required to obtain satisfactory convergence of the energy equations. The K and H constants are again updated in the outer loop. After one inner-loop iteration, the approximate K and H constants are found to be sufficiently close to the SRK values that overall convergence is achieved. Thus, a total of only 3 outer-loop iterations and 4 inner-loop iterations are required. 

This derivation indicates a strong coupling between the momentum equation and the energy equation, which implies that the momentum and energy balance equations should be solved as a coupled system. In particular, the dis-...
