Motion is driven by mechanical means. (ii) Free (natural) convection. Motion is driven by natural forces. 2.3 Laminar vs. Turbulent Flow Laminar flow: no fluctuations in velocity, pressure, temperature, … Turbulent flow: random fluctuations in velocity, pressure, temperature, … Transition from laminar to turbulent flow: Determined by the Reynolds number: Flow over a flat plate: Ret V xt /ν 500,000 Flow through tubes: Ret = u D v 2300 u u turbulent laminar t t Fig. 2.1 2.4 Conservation of Mass: The Continuity Equation 2.4.1 Cartesian Coordinates 2 The principle of conservation of mass is applied to an element dxdydz Rate of mass added to element - Rate of mass removed from element = Rate of mass change within element m y y dy dx m x x (m y ) y m x dy (m x ) dy y m y (a ) (b ) Fig. 2.2 (2.1) Expressing each term in terms of velocity components gives continuity equation u v w 0 t x y z (2.2a) This equation can be expressed in different forms: u v w u v w 0 t x y z x y z (2.2b) or or D V 0 Dt (2.2c) V 0 t (2.2d) For constant density (incompressible fluid): V 0 2.4.2 Cylindrical Coordinates (2.3) 3 1 r v r 1 v v z 0 t r r r z (2.4) 2.4.3 Spherical Coordinates 1 1 v sin 1 v 0 2 r 2 vr t r r r sin r sin (2 .5) 2.5 Conservation of Momentum: The Navier-Stokes Equations of Motion 2.6 2.5.1 Cartesian Coordinates Application of Newton’s law of motion to the element shown in Fig. 2.5, gives dy (a) dx Application of (a) in the x-direction, gives F x F ( m)a dz y x ( m)a x (b) z Fig. 2.5 Each term in (b) is expressed in terms of flow field variables: density, pressure, and velocity components: Mass of the element: m dxdydz (c) Acceleration of the element a x : ax du Du u u u u u v w dt Dt x y z t Substituting (c) and (d) into (b) F DuDt dxdydz x (e) Forces: (i) Body force Fx body g x dxdydz (ii) Surface force (g) (d) 4 Summing up all the x-component forces shown in Fig. 2.6 gives xx yx zx δF x surface x y z dxdydz (h) Combining the above equations xx yx zx Du gx Dt x y z (2.6a) y-direction: xy yy zy Dv gy Dt x y z (2.6b) z-direction: yz zz Dw g z xz Dt x y z (2.6c) x-direction: By analogy: IMPORTANT THE NORMAL AND SHEARING STRESSES ARE EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF VELOSICTY AND PRESSURE. THIS IS VALID FOR NEWTOINAN FLUIDS. (See equations 2.7a-2.7f).

Assumptions: (1) continuum, (2) Newtonian fluid, and (3) negligible nuclear, electromagnetic and radiation energy transfer. Detailed formulation of the terms A, B, C and D is given in Appendix A The following is the resulting equation cp DT Dp kT T Dt Dt (2.15) is referred to as the energy equation is the coefficient of thermal expansion, defined as (2.15) 6 1 T p (2.16) The dissipation function is associated with energy dissipation due to friction.

The corresponding energy equation in cylindrical coordinate is given in (2.26) 7 2.7 Solutions to the Temperature Distribution The flow field (velocity distribution) is needed for the determination of the temperature distribution. IMPORTANT: Table 2.1 shows that for constant density and viscosity, continuity and momentum (four equations) give the solution to u, v, w, and p. Thus for this condition the flow field and temperature fields are uncoupled (smallest rectangle). For compressible fluid the density is an added variable. Energy equation and the equation of state provide the fifth and sixth required equations. For this case the velocity and temperature fields are coupled and thus must be solved simultaneously (largest rectangle in Table 2.1).

Gravity and density change due to temperature change give rise to buoyancy. According to Table 2.1, continuity, momentum, energy and equation of state must be solved simultaneously for the 6 unknowns: u. v, w, p, T and Starting with the definition of coefficient of thermal expansion , defined as 1 T p (2.16) 8 or This result gives 1 T T (f) (T T ) (2.28) Based on the above approximation, the momentum equation becomes DV 1 g T T p p v 2V Dt (2.29) 2.9 Boundary Conditions (1) No-slip condition.
