Velocity, mean water

Some quantitative studies1498115011 on droplet size distribution in water atomization of melts showed that the mean droplet size increases with metal flow rate and reduces with water flow rate, water velocity, or water pressure. From detailed experimental studies on the water atomization of steel, Grandzol and Tallmadge15011 observed that water velocity is a fundamental variable influencing the mean droplet size, and further, it is the velocity component normal to the molten metal stream Uw sin , rather than parallel to the metal stream, that governs the mean droplet size. This may be attributed to the hypothesis that water atomization is an impact and shattering process, while gas atomization is predominantly an aerodynamic shear process.

Water is heated by passing it through an array of parallel, wide heated plates. The plates thus form a series of parallel plane channels. The distance between the plates is 1 mm and the mean velocity in the channels is 1 m/s. The plates are electrically heated, the two sides of each plate together transferring heat to the water flow at a rate of 1600 W/m2. The water properties can be assumed to be constant and they can be evaluated at a temperature of 50°C. If the flow is assumed to be fully developed, find the rate of increase of mean water temperature with distance along the channels. 

Consider the flow of water through a 65-mm diameter smooth pipe at a mean velocity of 4 m/s. The walls of the pipe are kept at a uniform temperature of 40°C and at a certain section of the pipe the mean water temperature is 30°C. Find the heat transfer coefficient for this situation using both the Reynolds analogy and the three-layer analogy solution. 

Water flows at a mean velocity of 1 m/s through a 1-cm diameter pipe, the mean water temperature being 20°C. The flow can be assumed to be fully developed and turbulent. If the thickness of the sublayer is given by y = 12, find the actual thickness of the sublayer in mm. 

Water flows through a long smooth 2.7-cm diameter pipe. A uniform heat flux of 10 kW/m2 is applied at the pipe walls and the difference between the wall and the mean water temperature is 5°C. If the mean water temperature is 40°C, find the mean water velocity in the pipe. 

Applying the test of reasonableness means verifying that the solution makes sense. If, for example, a calculated velocity of water flowing in a pipe is faster than the speed of light or the calculated temperature in a chemical reactor is higher than the interior temperature of the sun, you should suspect that a mistake has been made somewhere.

Even if we computed the microscopic velocity field in the x, y and z directions, we only considered the macroscopic averages in the y and z directions, as no heterogeneity is considered in the x-direction. The macroscopic fluxes were calculated by averaging the microscopic velocities over 50 time steps, over five sites in the z-direction, and over half-cross sections of the micropore matrix and of the crack, multiplied by the respective mean water contents. 

The decrease in the mean advection velocity is due, at least in part, to a decrease in the mean water velocity. The change could also be a manifestation of a decrease in the maximum tidal velocity and/or an increase in the critical erosion velocity due to decreasing mean grain size. [The maximum tidal velocity does decrease by about 12% (4 cm/sec) along the section.] Both of these phenomena would help to reduce the time that sand grains actually spend in motion and to lower the mean velocity of transport with a consequent decrease in the width of the transition zone. The width of the zone will also be decreased by an increase in the sedimentation rate or a decrease in the diffusion coefficient. 

Typical heat transfer results to monodisperse sprays impacting on a heated surface are shown in Fig. 18.24. The liquid flow rate is varied over a wide range, while the droplet diameter is kept almost constant [136]. The heat flux versus surface temperature trends are similar to those of conventional boiling curves (see Chap. 15 of this handbook), and the heat fluxes are very high. The available experimental data [133, 134,137-140] show that the volumetric spray flux V (m3/m2 s) is a dominant parameter affecting heat transfer. However, mean drop diameter and mean drop velocity and water temperature have been found to have an effect on heat transfer and transitions between regimes. Urbanovich et al. [141], for example, showed that heat transfer is not only a function of the volumetric spray flux but also of the pressure difference at the nozzle and the location within the spray field (Fig. 18.25). 

An air-water bubbling jet which is not subjected to the Coanda effect is known to rise straight upward while entraining the surrounding water into it [21]. As a result, the horizontal region in which water moves vertically upward spreads as z increases. The extent of this horizontal region can be represented, for example, by the half-value radius, of the horizontal distribution of the axial mean velocity of water flow, u (see Fig. 3.42). Based on existing experimental study, [21] can be approximated by...
