Term
What is Transport Phenomena
Definition
Describes the exchange of momentum, energy or mass
Term
density
Definition
mass/volume
Term
viscosity
Definition
property which determines the ease with which a fluid will flow
Term
___ determines how much force needs to be applied
Definition
viscosity
Term
Tau yx
Definition
shear stress
Term
shear stress
Definition
force per unit area exerted on fluid as plate moves F/A=N/m^2=Pa
Term
shear rate
Definition
Vx/Y=1/s
Term
viscosity (equation)
Definition
shear stress/shear rate=N*s/m^2=Pa*s or 1 Pa*s=10 poise
Term
kinematic viscosity
Definition
viscosity/density=Pa*s/kg/m^3=m^2/s
Term
Newtonian fluid
Definition
because theyu follow Newton's law, proportionality factor between shear stress and shear rate is viscosity
Term
shear thickening
Definition
more shear applied-more it wants to resist
Term
shear thinning
Definition
pseudoplastic
Term
Bingham plastics
Definition
apply some amount of force to get them to flow
Term
Newtonian fluids include:
Definition
water, oils, air, all gases, most liquids that are low MW <5000
Term
Tau y x means
Definition
force in x-direction on an area normal to the y-plane (perpendicular to y-axis)
Term
For an incompressible fluid the relationship between viscosity and temperature is
Definition
as temperature increases, viscosity decreases (think liquids)
Term
For compressible fluids the relationship between viscosity and temperature i
Definition
as viscosity increases, temperature increases
Term
Momentum flux
Definition
tau y x= rate of transfer of fluid particles or energy across a given surface
Term
Newton's law in words
Definition
momentum flux normal to the flow of fluid proportional to velocity gradient and proportionality factor is viscosity
Term
For a stationary fluid what are the three forces
Definition
gravity, pressure on top, pressure on bottom
Term
the centrifugal force equation
Definition
dF=w^2 r dm
Term
dm=mass of liquid in element in cylindrical coordinates
Definition
dm=2 pi density r b dr
where b is the breadth or height of ring
Term
in cyclindrical coordinates dp=
Definition
dp=F/A where F=2 pi density b omega squared r squared dr A=2 pi r b
Term
What is the difference between laminar and turbulent flow?
Definition
Re=DVdensity/viscosity- In a pipe, flow is always laminar at Reynolds numbers below 2100 and turbulent above 4000
Term
"Shell" momentum balance represents
Definition
a small (differential) element of fluid flowing within a system
Term
momentum balance equation:
Definition
0={rate of momentum in}-{rate of momentum out}+{sum of forces acting on shell}
Term
momentum in/out considerations (4 things)
Definition
1. viscous flux (energy transferred through a surface) 2. Convection=motion of bulk fluid-transport of momentum by motion of bulk fluid 3. Forces acting on shell (gravity, pressure) 4. Typical boundary conditions for fluid systmes (no slip, at liq liq interfaces, liq gas interfaces)
Term
viscous flux
Definition
energy transferred through a surface
Term
convection
Definition
motion of bulk fluid-transport of momentum by motion of bulk fluid
Term
Forces acting on shell
Definition
gravity pressure
Term
Typical boundary conditons for fluid systems:
Definition
1) no slip: at solid-fluid interfaces fluid velocity=solid velocity 2) no slip at liq liq interfaces- tangential velocities of fluids are equal 3. liq-gas interface plane of constant x
Term
Reynold's number
Definition
ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces
