Integrating this equation between y and 5 3uelds the velocity-defect law for the outer layer. This, of course, requires that the non-universal non-dimensional function, [Pg.128]

This relation establishes the form of the velocity-defect law for small y/6 and indicates that the log-law can give reasonable predictions also for relatively large values of y provided that the overlap region has a significant width. 

Universal Velocity-Defect Law. Figure 5.7 shows the velocity profile computed from Eq. 5.65 together with Nikuradse s [43] measurement data. It can be observed that the velocity profile becomes flatter over most of the duct section, and the exponent 1 In of the power law of the velocity distribution, Eq. 5.65, decreases as Re increases. This observation led to the derivation of another form for velocity distribution, the universal velocity-defect law. The for-... 

Von Karman [46] derived the following form for the universal velocity-defect law ... 

The Prandtl-Karman-Nikuradse (PKN) correlation is based on the universal velocity-defect law with the coefficients slightly modified to fit the highly accurate experimental data reported by Nikuradse [43], which is known to be the most accurate. This correlation is also referred to as the universal law of friction. However, since the PKN formula gives/values... 

FIGURE 5.8 Universal velocity-defect law distribution for fully developed turbulent flow in a smooth circular duct [45]. 

Effects of Eccentricity. Jonsson and Sparrow [119] have conducted a careful experimental investigation of fully developed turbulent flow in smooth, eccentric annular ducts. The researchers have provided the velocity measurements graphically in terms of the wall coordinate h+ as well as the velocity-defect representation. From their results, the circumferentially averaged fully developed friction factor is correlated by a power-law relationship of the following type ...

Second Derivation of the Boltzmann Equation.—The derivation of the Boltzmann equation given in the first sections of this chapter suffers from the obvious defect that it is in no way connected with the fundamental law of statistical mechanics, i.e., LiouviUe s equation. As discussed in Section 12.6of The Mathematics of Physics and Chemistry, 2nd Ed.,22 the behavior of all systems of particles should be compatible with this equation, and, thus, one should be able to derive the Boltzmann equation from it. This has been avoided in the previous derivation by implicitly making statistical assumptions about the behavior of colliding particles that the number of collisions between particles of velocities v1 and v2 is taken proportional to /(v.i)/(v2) implies that there has been no previous relation between the particles (statistical independence) before collision. As noted previously, in a... 

The reaction scheme at and near the phase boundary during the phase transformation is depicted in Figure 10-14. The width of the defect relaxation zone around the moving boundary is AifR, it designates the region in which the relaxation processes take place. The boundary moves with velocity ub(f) and establishes the boundary conditions for diffusion in the adjacent phases a and p. The conservation of mass couples the various processes. This is shown schematically in Figure 10-14b where the thermodynamic conditions illustrated in Figure 10-12 are also taken into account. The transport equations (Fick s second laws) have to be solved in both the a and p... 

The oxidation of iron at high temperatures, where several iron oxide phases form, obeys the parabolic rate law whereas in CO-CO2mixtures above 900°C, it obeys a linear rate law with the exclusive formation of an FeO layer (18). This result is understandable if one considers the high defect concentration in FeO of approximately 10%, which ensures high diffusion velocity. The linear rate constant - exhibits the following de-... 

Deviation from the ideal crystal, lattice vibrations, point defects and impurities are examples of what modifies the electron s trajectory. The interaction with such an imperfection is local, intense and of very short duration. We speak of collision and we call T the mean time between two collisions. In the absence of an appUed electric or magnetic field, to any electron of velocity v corresponds an electron of velocity -V and overall, the charge flow generated by all the electrons of an energy band is nil. In the presence of an applied electric field E pp, any electron is accelerated, according to Newton s laws ...
