Velocity pressure distribution

Step 4 - it is initially assumed that the flow field in the entire domain is incompressible and using the initial and boundary conditions the corresponding flow equations are solved to obtain the velocity and pressure distributions. Values of the material parameters at different regions of the domain are found via Equation (3.70) using the pseudo-density method described in Chapter 3, Section 5.1. 

A thorough description of the internal flow stmcture inside a swid atomizer requires information on velocity and pressure distributions. Unfortunately, this information is still not completely available as of this writing (1996). Useful iasights on the boundary layer flow through the swid chamber are available (9—11). Because of the existence of an air core, the flow stmcture iaside a swid atomizer is difficult to analyze because it iavolves the solution of a free-surface problem. If the location and surface pressure of the Hquid boundary are known, however, the equations of motion of the Hquid phase can be appHed to reveal the detailed distributions of the pressure and velocity. 

Fluid-pressure distribution tends to close the valve. For this reason, the smaller manually operated valves have a latching device on the handle, and the larger manually operated valves use worm gearing on the stem. This hydraulic unb ance is proportional to the pressure drop and, with line velocities exceeding 7.6 m/s (25 ft/s), is the principal component in the torque required to operate the valves. Compared with other valves for low-pressure drops, these valves can be operated by smaller hydrauhc cylinders. In this service butterfly valves with insert bodies for bolting between existing flanges with bolts that...

Perforated sheets are, however, much more vulnerable to uneven pressure distributions and tilted inflow of air, as illustrated in Fig, 8,26. The supply air entering horizontally alxive the perforated sheet partly maintains its horizontal velocity component when being discharged through the holes in the perforated sheet. Thus, it leaves the perforated sheet at an angle less than 90°. The suction between the small outflowing jets also makes the airflow stick to the perforated sheet and flow along the sheet instead of perpendicular to (t. 

Equations (12.40) to (12.45) describe the velocities u, v, w, the temperature distribution T, the concentration distribution c (mass of gas per unit ma.ss of mixture, particles per volume, droplet number density, etc.) and pressure distribution p. These variables can also be used for the calculation of air volume flow, convective air movement, and contaminant transport. 

Due to the nonuniforra velocity and pressure distribution along the y-axis, the particles remain separate and floating in the gas stream. In a vertical transportation the force /) , is obviously zero, because then the particles do not tend to fall and gather on the bottom of the tube. The force cannot be included in the drag force because the drag force pushes the particles forward in the direction of the j -axis, whereas does not affect the particles but the gas itself.

The present model takes into account how capillary, friction and gravity forces affect the flow development. The parameters which influence the flow mechanism are evaluated. In the frame of the quasi-one-dimensional model the theoretical description of the phenomena is based on the assumption of uniform parameter distribution over the cross-section of the liquid and vapor flows. With this approximation, the mass, thermal and momentum equations for the average parameters are used. These equations allow one to determine the velocity, pressure and temperature distributions along the capillary axis, the shape of the interface surface for various geometrical and regime parameters, as well as the influence of physical properties of the liquid and vapor, micro-channel size, initial temperature of the cooling liquid, wall heat flux and gravity on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. 

Significant simplification of the governing equations may be achieved by using a quasi-one-dimensional model for the flow. Assume that (1) the ratio of meniscus depth to its radius is sufficiently small, (2) the velocity, temperature and pressure distributions in the cross-section are close to uniform, and (3) all parameters depend on the longitudinal coordinate. Differentiating Eqs. (8.32-8.35) and (8.37) we reduce the problem to the following dimensionless equations ... 

The systems of Eqs. (8.56-8.58), (8.64-8.66), and (8.77-8.79) allow us to find the density, velocity, temperature and pressure distributions along the capillary axis, as well as the interface surface shape.

Below the system of quasi-one-dimensional equations considered in the previous chapter used to determine the position of meniscus in a heated micro-channel and estimate the effect of capillary, inertia and gravity forces on the velocity, temperature and pressure distributions within domains are filled with pure liquid or vapor. The possible regimes of flow corresponding to steady or unsteady motion of the liquid determine the physical properties of fluid and intensity of heat transfer.

The quasi-one-dimensional model described in the previous chapter is applied to the study of steady and unsteady flow regimes in heated micro-channels, as well as the boundary of steady flow domains. The effect of a number of dimensionless parameters on the velocity, temperature and pressure distributions within the domains of liquid vapor has been studied. The experimental investigation of the flow in a heated micro-channel is carried out. 

Two-phase flows in micro-channels with an evaporating meniscus, which separates the liquid and vapor regions, have been considered by Khrustalev and Faghri (1996) and Peles et al. (1998, 2000). In the latter a quasi-one-dimensional model was used to analyze the thermohydrodynamic characteristics of the flow in a heated capillary, with a distinct interface. This model takes into account the multi-stage character of the process, as well as the effect of capillary, friction and gravity forces on the flow development. The theoretical and experimental studies of the steady forced flow in a micro-channel with evaporating meniscus were carried out by Peles et al. (2001). These studies revealed the effect of a number of dimensionless parameters such as the Peclet and Jacob numbers, dimensionless heat transfer flux, etc., on the velocity, temperature and pressure distributions in the liquid and vapor regions. The structure of flow in heated micro-channels is determined by a number of factors the physical properties of fluid, its velocity, heat flux on... 

The velocity analysis is of great important for a lubrication theory, which will lay the foundation for further processes, to obtain the flux, the pressure distribution, the load and the friction, etc. As shown before, however, the present model requires a complex procedure to achieve the results. Thus, it can be regarded as a more purely scientihc one," i.e., there is a long way to the success of predictive ability. For a practical purpose, from an engineering point of view, some simplifications should be conducted in an attempt to get the parameters of interest. 

The pressure profile and film shape with or without micropolarity are shown in Figs. 10-17. The polarity does not alter the positions of the second pressure spike and the minimum thickness, and it has a minor influence on the pressure profile and the film shape. In the case of the pressure profile, the micro-polarity affects the pressure distribution in the vicinity of the second pressure spike. It should be noted that, in Figs. 10 and 12, the second pressure spikes are not clear enough due to low velocities. With an increase in character-... 

The flow velocity, pressure and dynamic viscosity are denoted u, p and fj and the symbol (...) represents an average over the fluid phase. Kim et al. used an extended Darcy equation to model the flow distribution in a micro channel cooling device [118]. In general, the permeability K has to be regarded as a tensor quantity accounting for the anisotropy of the medium. Furthermore, the description can be generalized to include heat transfer effects in porous media. More details on transport processes in porous media will be presented in Section 2.9. 

In solving open channel flow equations, the THINC I code (Zernick et al., 1962) was the first calculational technique capable of satisfactorily assigning inlet flows to the assemblies within a semiopen core. In the THINC I approach, it was recognized that the total pressure distribution at the top of the core region is a function of inlet pressure, density, and velocity distributions. This functional dependence can be expressed as,... 

If the relative velocity is sufficiently low, the fluid streamlines can follow the contour of the body almost completely all the way around (this is called creeping flow). For this case, the microscopic momentum balance equations in spherical coordinates for the two-dimensional flow [vr(r, 0), v0(r, 0)] of a Newtonian fluid were solved by Stokes for the distribution of pressure and the local stress components. These equations can then be integrated over the surface of the sphere to determine the total drag acting on the sphere, two-thirds of which results from viscous drag and one-third from the non-uniform pressure distribution (refered to as form drag). The result can be expressed in dimensionless form as a theoretical expression for the drag coefficient ... 

The averaged velocity of the vapor is expressed by Eq. (54). The pressure distribution in the vapor layer can be obtained by solving Eqs. (54) and (73)-(75) by a piecewise integration method. Details of the solving procedure and how to use the vapor pressure in flow field calculation are given in Section IV.A.2.
