Velocity distribution, annular

Liquid core temperature and velocity distribution analysis. BankofT (1961) analyzed the convective heat transfer capability of a subcooled liquid core in local boiling by using the turbulent liquid flow equations. He found that boiling crisis occurs when the core is unable to remove the heat as fast as it can be transmitted by the wall. The temperature and velocity distributions were analyzed in the singlephase turbulent core of a boiling annular flow in a circular pipe of radius r. For fully developed steady flow, the momentum equation is given as...

One important aspect of wire-coating is the thickness distribution of the polymer on the surface of the wire as well as the velocity distribution within the die. A simplified wire coating process is presented in the Fig. 6.37, where the wire radius is defined by R and the annulus radius by kR. This type of flow is often referred to as an axial annular Couette flow. 

The SDF, like the RTD functions, can be calculated from the velocity distribution in the system that is, a certain flow pattern determines both functions. The reverse, however, does not necessarily apply. The calculation of the SDF requires a complete description of the flow pattern, whereas RTD functions often can be calculated from a less than complete flow pattern. For example, the RTD of axial annular flow between two rotating concentric cylinders (helical flow) of a Newtonian fluid depends only on the axial velocity, whereas the SDF depends on both the axial and the tangential velocity... 

The latter cases were selected because they exhibited the more approximately axisymmetric TARS outlet features. The simulations are capable of capturing the main features of the flow, including the initial shape of the recirculation zone, its lateral extent, and the development of the annular jet. More detailed comparisons between LES and LDV for Case I are shown in Fig. 11.96, in terms of radial profiles of the mean value and rms axial velocity at selected cross-stream locations. Disagreements between LDV and LES velocity data are more noticeable in terms of the rms axial velocity distributions, largely reflecting on the neglected inlet turbulent intensities in the simulations, as well as on the needed improved emulation of the laboratory inlet conditions with regards to azimuthal mean velocity variations, turbulence statistics, and spectral content. 

Fully Developed Flow. Velocity distribution, the friction factor, and heat transfer for fully developed laminar flow in concentric annular ducts are described sequentially. 

Velocity Distribution and the Friction Factor. For a concentric annular duct with inner radius r, and outer radius r , the velocity distribution and friction factor for fully developed flow in a concentric annular duct are as follows [1] ... 

Fully Developed Flow. Knudsen and Katz [110] obtained the following velocity distributions for fully developed turbulent flow in a smooth concentric annular duct in terms of wall coordinates u+ and y+ ...

In the annular area Rp < r < R, the velocity will gradually decrease from the constant plug velocity to zero at the pipe wall. The expression for this velocity distribution will now be derived. 

Plot the velocity distribution in the annular region and compare it with that for a Newtonian liquid having a viscosity of 20 mPa s under otherwise similar conditions.

Comment by J. M. Geist, Air Products, Inc. We would like to add that because of the laminar velocity distribution, back-diffusion may occur in an "annular ring," where the velocity is less than the critical, and that back-diffusion does not occur in the center core, where the critical velocity is exceeded. 

Figure 2 shows the analysis of the fluid element. The system consists of a circular tube through which a fluid flows in two phases. Heat is transferred from the annular space through the solid wall to the evaporating fluid. Figure 2 also represents the assumed velocity distribution for annular flow. 

HEAT TRANSFER. Values of heat transfer coefficients for annular flow were calculated using the McAdams equation. It is felt that this equation is applicaMe when the Reynolds number is based on the average fictitious liquid velocity, V l is defined as the average liquid velocity which would exist if full liquid flow occurred in a pipe with the same velocity distribution as that for the liquid in an-... 

Mathur and Maccallum [18] have reported results of their experimental work done on hubless and annular vane swirlers for pressure drop across swirler, axial static pressure, and axial and tangential velocity components distribution. It was concluded that the swirling jets experienced a sudden expansion downstream of the swirl generators. An internal recirculation zone (IRZ)... 

The analysis of flow pattern models occurring inside the radial distribution of the velocity vector components and the pressure at swirl generator exit are nonuniform the same burner equipped with an annular vane swirl generator in the same furnace can produce different velocity vector components, when the quarl geometry is changed (dQ/di, = 2-3.5) the shape and size of CRZ are primarily a function of quarl geometry and not of vane swirler diameter.
