Chapter 1 Introduction to Tensors


Most of the discussion in the notes will assume a cartesian co-ordinate system unless otherwise mentioned.

1.1

Subscript notation

Introduced by G. Ricci and popularised by Einstein. Each subscript (or index) runs from 1 to the dimension of the space in consideration. Since most of the time a 3D space is referred to, the subscripts run from 1 to 3. Following rules apply to the notation: 1. Cartesian Summation Convention: Subscripts that are repeated are called dummy subscripts and should be summed over the range that the subscript can take. 2. Subscripts that are not repeated are called free subscripts. 3. Subscripts can come anywhere in an expression. 4. Subscripts after a comma indicate dierentiation. 5. Free subscripts on either sides of the = sign should match. Subscript notation is useful to represent three and higher dimensional entities. It simplies expressions. Examples Vector Matrices and Tensors

u ui = (u1 u2 u3 ) = = u1 x1 + u2 x2 + u3 x3 a11 a12 a13 aij = a21 a22 a23 a31 a32 a33 x2 + x3 = i = x1 + x1 x2 x3 7

x2 + x3 = = i = ,i = x1 + x1 x2 x3 xi u u1 + u2 + u3 = x1 x2 x3 ui Div(u) = = ui,i xi

Inner product is an operation where there is a contraction of the number of subscripts. For two vectors, it is also called as dot product. ai bi = a1 b1 + a2 b2 + a3 b3
2 2 2 ai ai = a1 + a2 + a3

cj = aij bi c1 = a11 b1 + a21 b2 + a31 b3 . . . Outer product is an operation where there is a an expansion of the number of subscripts. a1 b1 a1 b2 a1 b3 ai bj = a2 b1 a2 b2 a2 b3 a3 b1 a3 b2 a3 b3

Trace of a matrix a

Trace of ij is ii = 3. ij is used to simplify expressions involving dummy indices. Consider bik = aij jk Expand the expression for a given i, k and convince yourself that aik ij = ajk pi ij = pj G. Phanikumar 8 Transport Phenomena Notes

Levi-Civita Symbol

Also called as permutation matrix. Denition: ijk 123 132 111 222 333 1 if i, j, k appear cyclic = 1 if i, j, k donot appear cyclic 0 if i = j or j = k or k = i = 312 = 321 = 211 = 122 = 133 =1 = 1 = 121 = 113 = 311 = 131 = 0 = 212 = 223 = 322 = 232 = 0 = 313 = 332 = 233 = 323 = 0

= 231 = 213 = 112 = 221 = 331

Permutation matrix will help in writing expressions in a simplied manner. One can write ijk also in terms of a triple product as follows: ijk = [xi , xj , xk ]

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO TENSORS For the rst case, it turns out that ijk = lmk = klm and the indices are non-repeating. Thus, whether they are cyclic or not, LHS is 2 and is +1. For the second case, klm ijk = mlk = klm and the indices are non-repeating. Thus, LHS is 2 and is 1. klm ijk ijm = 2km ijk ijk = 6 Based on the relations given above, the following vector identities can be derived using subscript notation. () = 2 2 () = = = 2 x2 xi xi i () = 0 2 = ijk pi = () = ijk xj xk xj xk For each term with the index i, there are two non zero terms on the RHS to be summed up. While the order of dierentiation is immaterial, ijk is asymmetric about the indices j, k. Hence the RHS will vanish. Take for example, p1 = 1jk 2 2 2 2 = 123 + 132 = (123 + 132 ) =0 x2 x3 x3 x2 x2 x3 xj xk (1.3) (1.2)

Similarly the other terms will also vanish.

Co-ordinate transformations

Cartesian co-ordinate system xi is used. Consider the following co-ordinate transformation where the xy plane is rotated about z-axis clockwise by an angle .

The new axes (starred) are given in terms of the old axes (unstarred) by the following relations: x = x1 cos + x2 sin 1 x = x1 sin + x2 cos 2 x3 = x3 or x = T11 x1 + T12 x2 + T13 x3 1 x2 = T21 x1 + T22 x2 + T23 x3 x = T31 x1 + T32 x2 + T33 x3 3 or cos sin 0 x1 x 1 x = sin cos 0 x2 2 x3 0 0 1 x3 x = Tpi xi p Transport Phenomena Notes 11

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO TENSORS

Figure 1.1: Co-ordinate Transformation

The transformation matrix Tpi used in the above expression is by the convention that rst index represents the row and the second index, the column. In one of the reference texts, viz., Aris book [Ari62], equation (2.11.1) shows that this convention is reversed. As a result the indices appear swapped in the denitions. This use of dierent convention is clear also from equation (A.6.4) in the same book. When we express x in terms of xi , the transformation matrix can be written as: i

x p Tpi = = xi

x 1 x1 x 2 x1 x 3 x1

x 1 x2 x 2 x2 x 3 x2

x 1 x3 x 2 x3 x 3 x3

We have chosen cartesian co-ordinate systems which have the following properties of orthogonality:

x x = 1 x x = 0 x x = 0 1 1 2 3 3 2 1 3 x2 x2 = 1 x3 x1 = 0 x x = 0 x x = 1 x x = 0 x x = 0 3 3 1 2 3 1 Expressing x in terms of x and using equations 1.17 and 1.21, we get: G. Phanikumar 12

Similarly, we can express x in terms of x . Inverse transformation relation is given using the transpose of the transformation matrix as follows. Transpose of a matrix is nothing but the same matrix with the indices swapped around. xi = Dip x p The co-ordinate transformation matrix D for new to old system is related to the matrix for old to new the following manner.

xi = Dip x = Tpi x p p

xi = Tpi x p

Tensors

Many entities, such as those that have a physical meaning, are independent of the co-ordinate system we choose to represent them. If n is the dimension of the space we are concerned, the entities can be classifed - according to the number of components (ni ) they would have - as tensors of order i. Transport Phenomena Notes 13 G. Phanikumar

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO TENSORS

1.6.1

Scalar

Scalar is a tensor of order zero. Only one value would suce to describe it at any location. Scalars are invariant under co-ordinate transformations. Denition: Scalar is an entity that remains invariant under all co-ordinate transformations. Eg: Temperature T , Composition of - say - A species CA , Pressure in a uid p, Density , etc.,

1.6.2

Vector

Vector is a tensor of order one. It requires as many values / components as the dimension of the space (which is three for most of us) ie., a set of three components in a 3D space. Denition: Vector is an entity that transforms the following way under a co-ordinate transformation: (1.27) a = Tpi ai p
T Eg: Velocity of uid = ui, Temperature gradient xi , Composition gradient u ui , Electric Potential dierence P , Electric Current Ji etc., CA , xi

Displacement

1.6.3

Bisor

Bisor is a tensor of order two. All tensors of order 2 or more are called as just tensors. Specic names for tensors of order 2 and above are often considered old fashioned. A tensor of order 2 requires 9 components to describe it in general in 3D. Denition: Tensor of order two is an entity that transforms the following way under a coordinate transformation: a = Tpi Tqj aij (1.28) pq Eg: Stress ij , Strain eij , Electrical Conductivity ij , Electrical Resistivity ij , Diusivity Dij , Thermal Conductivity kij , Magnetic Permeability ij , Dielectric Permittivity ij , Thermal Expansion Coecient ij , Gyration Tensor gij

1.6.4

Trisor

Trisor is a tensor of order three. 27 components! Denition: Tensor of order three is an entity that transforms the following way under a co-ordinate transformation: a = Tpi Tqj Trk aijk (1.29) pqr Eg: Piezoelectric coecient eijk ,

1.6.5

Tetror

Tetror is a tensor of order four. 81 components! a = TpiTqj Trk Tsl aijkl pqrs Eg: Elastic Modulus cijkl G. Phanikumar 14 Transport Phenomena Notes (1.30)

1.7. OPERATIONS ON TENSORS

1.6.6

Tensor

In general, a tensor is an entity that follows the following generalised rule for any co-ordinate transformation. The number of indices of a indicate the order of the tensor which is the same as the number of times T occurs in the expression. a pqrst... = Tpi Tqj Trk Tsl Ttm ...aijklm... (1.31)

1.7

Operations on tensors

Sum and dierence of two tensors (of same order) is also a tensor. In the following example, if bij and cij are tensors, then aij and dij are also tensors. aij = bij + cij dij = bij cij An outer product of a tensor of order m with a tensor of order n will give a tensor of order m + n. aijk = bij ck An inner product of a tensor of order m with a tensor of order n will give a tensor of order |m n|. ai = bijk cjk Contraction theorem : If aijkl.. is a tensor of order m, then the entity obtained by repeating any two subscripts is a tensor of order m 2. Eg., if dijkl is a tensor of order 4, then by repeating two of its indices (say, third and fourth), the entity obtained aij is a tensor of order 4 2 = 2. aij = dijkk A corollary to the above theorem is obtained when we take a tensor of order two and repeat the indices. i.e., Trace of a second order tensor aii is tensor of order zero or scalar or invariant across co-ordinate transformations. Quotient law of tensors: If there is an entity representable by (subscript notation as) aij relative to any cartesian co-ordinate system and if aij bi is a vector where bi is any arbitrary vector then aij is a tensor of order two. Proof is given in section A.1. Combining with the theorem on outer product, quotient law can be extended to tensors of higher order.

Types of tensors
Symmetric Tensor

a is a symmetric tensor if aij = aji Transport Phenomena Notes 15 G. Phanikumar

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO TENSORS Theorem: For every second order symmetric tensor, there exists a co-ordinate system relative to which, the matrix of the components of the tensor is diagonal 1 . Proof is given in section A.2.

1.8.2

Anti-symmetric Tensor

a is a skew-symmetric or anti-symmetric tensor if aij = aji

The vector formed by the components of an anti-symmetric tensor: 1 k = 2 3 0 3 2 ij = 3 0 1 2 1 0 1 k = kij ij 2

Also, ij = ijk k The two tensors k and ij are called dual tensors. Theorem: Every second order tensor is expressible as a sum of a symmetric tensor and an anti-symmetric tensor. aij = 1 1 (aij + aji ) + (aij aji ) 2 2 (1.32)

1.8.3

Isotropic tensors

Denition: A tensor is isotropic if its elements donot change under any co-ordinate transformation2 . Kronecker delta is an isotropic tensor of order two. The general form of an isotropic tensor of order two is aij = aij Levi-Civita density is an isotropic tensor of order three. Proof is given in section A.3 It is also referred to as alternating tensor or permutation tensor. Relation between ijk and ij and the proof are given in equation 1.1. ij kl is an isotropic tensor of order four.

(1.33)

1.9

Tensors that represent physical properties

Constitutive relations are those that describe a physical phenomenon by connecting the cause with the eect through a material property. In a constitutive relation, the entity that connects a tensor of order m with a tensor of order n is of the order m + n by the quotient law of tensors. Neumanns principle : The symmetry group of any physical property of a crystal comprises the point symmetry group of the crystal. A tensor that represents a physical property of a material should have at least the symmetry of the material. Pierre Curie symmetry principle (1894): Eect is at least as symmetric as the cause. The symmetry of a crystal of known symmetry in the presence of external elds is given by the intersection of the symmetries of the crystal and the elds. Examples of common physical phenomena, adapted from [PT83].

Ji = ij Ej eij = ij T Pi = dijk jk ejk = lijk Ei ij = rijk Ek eij = cijkl kl

Using the Neumanns principle, the tensor representing a property of a material should have the same symmetry as that of the material itself. Transport Phenomena Notes 17 G. Phanikumar

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO TENSORS Liquids and glasses are isotropic ie., they have innite symmetry 3 . The stu remains the same in all the directions. So the physical property should also remain the same in all directions. So, the tensor representing the physical property of this stu should be isotropic. That is, any arbitrary transformation of the co-ordinate system should leave the matrix containing the values of physical property unchanged. It is possible only if the property is representable by an isotropic tensor of corresponding order. Thus, for second order tensors such as thermal conductivity, diusivity etc., of liquids only one value is necessary. aij = aij Polycrystalline materials have crystals in all possible directions and as a bulk they behave as if the material is isotropic. Most of the engineering materials of interest are polycrystalline. Exceptions are highly textured materials (eg. after rolling) and single crystals (for turbine blades or semiconductor industry). Take, for example, the second order tensor representing the thermal conductivity of a crystal. It should in general have 6 components (9 components become 6 thanks to the tensor being symmetric). Using the Curie principle, it can be shown as in section A.5 that for cubic crystals one needs to specify only one value for thermal conductivity.

Chapter 2 Navier-Stokes Equations


2.1 Types of specication

Consider a ow eld and trace a particle that moves with the ow. The ow eld can be specied in two ways. In the Eulerian type of specication, the velocities are specied in terms of position (xi ) and time (t). It gives the spacial distribution of velocity ui (xi , t) similar to density, temperature and pressure at any given instant. In Lagrangian type of specication, the dynamical history of a specic piece of material (uid element) is given. The ow eld of the element is given in terms of the position (of the center of mass) of the element and time as vi (ai , t). Eulerian specication gives spacial gradients of velocities directly. Lagrangian specication helps trace the path of an element directly. Unless otherwise specied, one usually uses to the Eulerian frame of reference. In the Lagrangian specication, since the velocity vi (ai , t) is specied at the centre of gravity of the uid element, acceleration of a uid element is given by vi dvi = dt t

(2.1)

In the Eulerian specication, since the velocity (ui (xi , t)) is specied in terms of the absolute position where as the location of the uid element changes as dictated by the ow (see section A.6), acceleration of the uid element is given as below: ui uj ui dui = + ui = + u j j u i t dt t xj or du u = + (u )u dt t Proof of the same is given in section A.7. We now dene the material derivative which is a time derivative following the motion of the uid as 20

2.2. CONTINUITY EQUATION

2.2

Continuity equation

Consider a uid element of surface area S and volume V though which a ow is taking place. u Conservation of mass requires that the increase in amount of uid in the element is equal to the amount brought in by the uid ow (in the absence of sources and sinks that are singular). By convention, the surface normal points outwards and hence the conservation can be written n as: dV = t u ndS (2.5)

Using the Gauss theorem1 to convert the surface integral to volume integral, dV = t (u)dV (2.6)

For this relation to be valid at all locations in the uid, + (u) = 0 t Use the identity 1.7 to expand the above equation as u + (u ) + = 0 t Identifying the denition of material derivative

and dividing by , (2.9)

1 D + = 0 u Dt u is called as rate of dilation or rate of expansion and is indicated by a symbol . u = = i ui = ui,i Equations 2.7 and 2.9 are two alternate forms of the continuity equation.

(2.10)

A uid is called as incompressible if the density does not change due to changes in pressure (or) if the rate of change of density following the ow is zero. For incompressible uids, the continuity equation reduces to: u = 0 Sections A.6 and A.7 state the same thing more rigorously.

2.3

Forces

Long range forces decrease slowly with increase in distance between the interacting elements. These are called body forces or volume forces. Examples such as gravity (due to density gradients), electromagnetic (in metals carrying electric currents) and ctitious (centrifugal or coriolis) act on the whole of the uid element and are usually proportional to the size of the volume element (V ). They can be represented as: Fi (xi , t)V Eg. gravity pointing vertically downwards : Fi = gx2 Short range forces decrease rapidly with increase in distance between the interacting elements and are of molecular origin. Examples such as forces applied on surfaces (normal and shear), Marangoni forces (due to surface tension gradients) act on a thin layer of the uid and are called surface forces. Local short range forces exerted by the uid on dierent surface elements (A) can be represented as: (xi , nj , t)A where, nj is the unit normal to the surface element A. is called the local stress.

2.4

Equation of motion

Consider a small uid element of volume dV and area dS on a surface with normal ni . Using D the material derivative Dt introduced earlier, the rate of change of momentum of a small uid element of volume dv is given by: D Dt ui dV

Using the Reynolds transport theorem [A.8] and the continuity equation, one can bring the material derivative inside the integral as illustrated in section [A.9]. D Dt ui dV =

(2.13)

Since the three integrands are being summed over the same volume element, it will be applicable at any location in the uid if the equation applies to the integrands themselves: ij Dui = Fi + Dt xj

(2.14)

We now need to express ij in a way that can minimise the number of unknown parameters in the above equation of motion.

2.5

Stress tensor

Section A.10 stating the Cauchys stress principle and section A.11 prove that stress is a tensor. We can also use conservation of angular momentum to show that the stress tensor is symmetric as described in section A.12. Hence it can be expressed as 11 12 13 ij = 12 22 23 13 23 33

(2.15)

Since it is always possible to nd a co-ordinate system such that the matrix containing the elements of a symmetric tensor is diagonal, we can write ij as the follows. 11 0 0 22 0 ij = 0 0 0 33

We dene static pressure of the uid with the convention that positive pressure is that which acts to compress a uid element, Transport Phenomena Notes 23 G. Phanikumar

CHAPTER 2. NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

1 p = kk 3 so that ij = pij + dij

(2.20)

(2.21)

dij is called the deviatoric part of the tensor and leads only to volume conserving deformation of the uid elements ie., ow of the uid. Static pressure, on the other hand, leads to a shape-conserving change in the volume element. It is easy to note that dkk = 0 We have separated the stress into two terms: pressure term (pij ) that tends to change the volume of a uid element deviatoric stress term (dij ) that tends to change the shape of a uid element while keeping the volume constant By analysing all modes of change of shape of a uid element, we can relate the deviatoric stress with the terms that quantify the shape changes of a uid element. For non-zero velocity eld, because the uid element translates as time progresses, we will notice that rate of change of shape is more appropriate to analyse a uid element. (2.22)

2.6

Strain rate tensor

ui The meaning of velocity gradient or a strain rate term xj is given in section A.13. Proof that velocity gradient is a tensor of order two is given in section A.14. Strain rate or velocity gradient is represented as below and can be shown to be a second order tensor and thus expressible as a sum of symmetric and anti-symmetric tensors.

2.7. RELATION BETWEEN STRESS AND STRAIN-RATE so that, 1 ij = ijk k 2 (2.28)

2.7

Relation between stress and strain-rate

A relation between the deviatoric stress and strain-rate (velocity gradient) is necessary to proceed further to be able to use the equation of motion to solve for the velocity ui . We have to adopt a phenomenological approach. By denition, dij is the deviatoric stress which implies that it is zero for a stationary uid. The velocities and thus the velocity gradients
ui xj

are zero for a stationary uid.

The deviatoric stress represents the frictional interaction between dierent layers of the uid and is assumed to be dependent only on the instantaneous and local distribution of the velocities. From the above observations, we may assume that the deviatoric stress and the strain-rate are directly and linearly related to each other. Since both the quantities are tensors of order two, the entity that connects them both must be a tensor of order four. dij = Aijkl uk xl (2.29)

Since the above equation connects an eect with a cause, it is a constitutive relation and the entity Aijkl is a physical parameter. The material in concern is a uid in which a directionality can safely be assumed to be absent ie., uids are isotropic Hence, Aijkl must possess the same properties as that of an isotropic tensor of order four. From the properties of tensors, we know that the general form of an isotropic tensor of order four [A.4] is Aijkl = 1 ij kl + 2 il kj + 3 ik jl (2.30)

Since deviatoric stress dij is symmetric, interchanging the subscripts i and j should keep the quantity identical. In the above equation, this applies also to the R.H.S. ie., Aijkl = Ajikl 2 = 3 Aijkl = 1 ij kl + 2 (il kj + ik jl ) Aijkl is now symmetrical in k and l also. Transport Phenomena Notes 25 G. Phanikumar (2.31)

(2.32)

CHAPTER 2. NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS Expanding the above equation, dij = Aijkl (ekl + kl ) (2.33)

Since Aijkl is now symmetrical in k and l, when it is multiplied by an entity that is antisymmetric about k and l and the terms are summed over k and l they vanish. Thus, the kl term drops out. dij = (1 ij kl + 2 (il kj + ik jl )) ekl dij = 1 ij kl ekl + 2 (il kj ekl + ik jl ekl ) We have already (2.10) dened compressibility or rate of dilation or rate of expansion as ekk = u1 u2 u3 + + = x1 x2 x3 (2.36) (2.34) (2.35)

For the rst term, we use the contraction theorem [section 1.7] to get dij = 1 ij + 22 eij Recalling that dii = 0, dii = 1 3 + 22 = (31 + 22 ) = 0 (2.38) (2.37)

We would like the above equation to be true also for incompressible uids ie., also when = 0. It can be true only when the term in parantheses vanishes. Stokes Assumption: For monoatomic uids since there is no conversion of translational energy into vibrationary / rotationary energies, bulk viscosity can be assumed to be zero: (31 + 22 ) = 0 or 2 1 = 2 3 Watch out for uids for which Stokes assumption is not valid. Calling the one constant parameter as , the equation becomes 2 dij = ij + 2eij 3 1 dij = 2 eij ij 3 (2.40) (2.39)

(2.41)

Now that we have an expression for dij in terms of velocity gradients, we can substitute the same in the equation of motion. G. Phanikumar 26 Transport Phenomena Notes

2.8. NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

2.8

Navier-Stokes equations

Combining equation of motion (2.14) and the expressions for stress tensor (2.21 and 2.41), we get, Dui 1 = Fi + pij + 2 eij ij 3 Dt xj Expanding the term eij and using the kronecker delta to contract subscripts, we get: Dui p + = Fi Dt xi xj ui xj + xj uj 2 + xi xi 3 (2.43) (2.42)

Since the order of dierentiation should not matter and if is not a function of location, Dui p ui uj 2 + + + (2.44) = Fi xj xi xj xi 3 Dt xi xj Dui p + = Fi Dt xi xj 2 ui + () + xj xi xi 3 ui xj + 1 () 3 xi (2.45)

Dui p + = Fi Dt xi xj

(2.46)

The above set of three equations (for i = 1, 2, 3) corresponding to the three components of the velocity of the uid (u1 , u2 and u3 ) is called Navier-Stokes equations. If the uid being considered is incompressible, we can set the last term to zero and obtain the N-S equation with variable property. A further simplication can be done starting from equation 2.46 as follows. Most of the uids under normal ow conditions are incompressible ie., = 0. The Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible uid ow with constant viscosity are obtained by taking out of the derivative and setting = 0 in the equation 2.46. 2 Dui p 2 ui uj = Fi + 2 + xj xj xi Dt xi p 2 ui Dui + 2 + = Fi Dt xi xj xi uj xj

Dui p 2 ui + 2 + () = Fi Dt xi xj xi Dui p 2 ui = Fi + 2 xj Dt xi

(2.48)

These can be expanded to give the N-S equations for incompressible uids of constant property using the denition of kinematic viscosity as follows: = 2 u1 2 u1 2 u1 + + x2 x2 x2 1 2 3 2 u2 2 u2 2 u2 + + x2 x2 x2 1 2 3 2 u3 2 u3 2 u3 + + x2 x2 x2 1 2 3

(2.51)

The continuity equation 2.9 and the three N-S equations 2.46 are solved together to obtain uid ow. In these four equations, we have four variables (p, u1, u2 , u3) - thus the problem is well dened.

2.9

Signicance of the linear relation and Viscosity

The linear relation between the deviatoric stress tensor and the strain rate tensor (velocity gradient) is physically meaningful for a large number of uids. Consider the two dimensional case of pure shear stress applied on a layer of liquid. Newton has observed that the shear stress is directly proportional to the velocity gradient. d12 = d21 = u1 x2 (2.52)

The proportionality constant is dened as the viscosity of the liquid. Fluids that obey this linear relation are called Newtonian uids. Examples are water, air and most gases (in most of the situations except under shock wave) and liquid metals. Based on their viscosity and the way they ow, materials can be classied as follows: Newtonian uid : Strain rate or velocity gradient is linearly dependent on the shear stress as 12 = u1,2 . Eg: air and most of the gases, water, oils of low molecular weight and liquid metals. Often 12 is referred to as xy . G. Phanikumar 28 Transport Phenomena Notes

2.10. N-S EQUATIONS IN CYLINDRICAL CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM Bingham Plastic : Flow starts above a critical shear stress which is then linear with the strain rate. 12 = 0 + u1,2 . Eg: drilling muds, peat slurries, margarine, chocolate mixtures, greases, soap, grain-water suspensions, toothpaste, paper pulp, and sewage sludge. Pseudoplastic : Shear thinning material - viscosity decreases at higher strain rate. Dilatant : Shear thickening material - viscosity increases at higher strain rate. Thixotropic : Viscosity decrease with time. Rheopectic : Viscosity increases with time. Viscoelastic : The material returns back to its original shape after the stress is removed. Viscosity is a strong function of temperature. In liquid metals viscosity follows an Arrhenius relation. In situations where the temperature is roughly constant through out the ow, viscosity can be taken as constant. For uids such as air and water, viscosity is negligible for most of the situations. Such uids are called inviscid.

2.10

N-S equations in cylindrical co-ordinate system

We should choose a co-ordinate system with an orientation that best captures the symmetry of the problem and simplies the nal form of the solution. Equations 2.48 are written for constant properties ( and ) and using the operators and 2 . These operators convey a meaning independent of co-ordinate system and enable us to assign a meaning to each term in the equation. One can (with some endurance) derive the equations by expressing x1 , x2 , x3 in terms of r, , z for cylindrical co-ordinate system or r, , for spherical co-ordinate system and derive the necessary relations. The expansion of these operators and the N-S equations for cylindrical coordinate system can be borrowed from Appendix A of [BSL02]. Following are the expressions that will be of use to us later. u = ur r + u + u z z 1 + z = r+ r r z u = ur + + uz u r r z 1 = r r

Chapter 3 Specic cases of uid ow


3.1 Boundary Conditions and Problem Denitions

Fluid-Solid: Due to van der Waals attractions, wetting and any other atomistic phenomena, liquid tends to stick to solid and a relative motion is not possible1 . In most of the situation this phenomena of a solid preventing a liquid in contact with it from having a motion relative to it is called no slip condition. Often the solid wall is stationary making the velocity of liquid at the wall zero. u|liquid, interface = u|solid Fluid-Liquid: Using the arguments similar to above, there is no relative motion between two layers of liquids in contact with each other2 . Additionally, since most liquids wet each other, the shear stress at the interface of two liquids has a unique value. |liquid1, interface = |liquid2, interface For Newtonian uids, if we take the interface to be at zero, ui ui 1 = 2 xj xj 0 xj xj +0

Fluid-Gas: Because the density of gas is usually much smaller than that of liquid, it cannot sustain any shear stress at the top of the liquid layer and will lead to surface deformation. Thus, the shear stress at a free surface is zero. |liquid, free surface = 0 For Newtonian uids, if we take the interface to be at zero, ui =0 xj xj 0 ui =0 t
except under situations where surface tension plays a major role except in situations where the two liquids in contact with each other are immiscible and interfacial tension plays a major role

Steady state: Time derivative of the velocity is to be taken zero.

CHAPTER 3. SPECIFIC CASES OF FLUID FLOW Unidirectional ow: Velocity has only one component and the other components are to be taken zero. u2 = u3 = 0 = u1 Fully developed ow: The velocity has no variation along the direction of the ow. ui =0 xi Validity of solution: The analytical solutions given in this chapter are applicable for laminar regime of uid ow where the ow can be visualised as layers of liquid moving with respect to each other and the eects of wall penetrate far into the liquid. When the intertial forces acting on the uid are far greater than the viscous forces, such an assumption is not valid and the ow is said to be turbulent. A transition from laminar to turbulent regimes is governed by the non-dimensional number indicating the ratio of intertial to viscous forces and is named after Reynolds. Du0 Du0 Re = = D is the characteristic length scale (diameter for a tube ow, width of channel for ow between two parallel plates etc.,), u0 is the characteristic velocity (typically the average velocity or far eld velocity) and is the kinematic viscosity. Range of Re for validity of a laminar solution for a problem of certain geometry is obtained from careful experiments. Equivalent diameter: For tubes of non-circular cross sections or for other geometries, the equivalent diameter can be dened as 4 cross sectional area De = wetted perimeter Thus, for the case of ow between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 2 that is much smaller than the width of the plates W , De = 4.

CHAPTER 3. SPECIFIC CASES OF FLUID FLOW Convention: 12 or 12 is on plane 1 and in the direction 2. As for the sign, there are two dierent convections adapted in the literature. Convention +: In the above case, we have used the convention that the shear stress is positive and it is exerted 1 by the top layer on the uid beneath it so that Newtons law is written as 21 = u2 . x Shear stress yx is stress exerted on plane y in the positive direction x by the layer at greater y on the layer at lesser y. This is the convention adapted in this handout. Convention -: This is favoured by [BSL02] for the reasons quoted below. Shear stress xy is stress exerted on plane x in direction y by the layer at lesser y on the layer at greater y. Quoting from [BSL02] section 1.2, page 19: Note on the Sign Convention for the Stress Tensor We have emphasised in connection with Eq. 1.1-2 (and in the generalization in this section) that yx is the force in the positive x direction on a unit area perpendicular to the y direction, this being the force per unit area exerted by the uid in the region of the lesser y on the uid of greater y. In most uid dynamics and elasticity books, the words lesser and greater are interchanged and Eq 1.1-2 is written as yx = +(dvx /dy). The advantages of the sign convention used in this book are: (a) the sign convention used in Newtons law of viscosity is consistent with that used in Fouriers law of heat conduction and Ficks law of diusion; (b) the sign convention used for ij is the same as that for convective momentum ux vv (see section 1.7 and Table 19.2-2); (c) in Eq 1.2-2, the terms pij and ij have the same sign axed, and the terms p and ii are both positive in compression (in accordance with common usage in thermodynamics); (d) all terms in the entropy production in Eq. 24.1-5 have the same sign. Clearly the sign convention in Eqs. 1.1-2 and 1.2-6 is arbitrary, and either sign convention can be used, provided the physical meaning of the sign convention is clearly understood. Note: Figure 2.8 of [Gas92] shows a symmetric plot of velocity prole as well as shear stress prole for a channel ow. There is an error in the shear stress prole. Watch out!

Creeping ow through a porous medium

A porous medium is characterised by the fraction of voids or porosity . = volume of voids volume of porous body

For a given porosity, the distribution of porosity could be such that the surface area is a second variable. Thus a porous medium is also characterised by surface area per unit volume of solid S0 . S0 = wettable surface area volume of solid

If a porous medium can be imagined to act like a bundle of thin tubes, then the equivalent diameter could be dened as hydraulic radius: Rh = volume of voids wettable surface area

Using the denition of , volume of voids is V . Using the denition of S0 , the wettable surface area is S0 V (1 ). Rh = S0 (1 ) (3.10)

If A is the cross sectional area of the porous body, then A is the cross sectional area of the voids through which the liquid can ow.

Considering that the nature of ow through a porous medium is a lot tortuous than through a tube, the constant K1 in equation 3.12 is taken not as 8 but 4.2 as has also been validated through experiments.

Chapter 4 Correlations for turbulent regime


At large Reynolds numbers, the ow distribution cannot be obtained through a simple analytical expression as it could be time dependent. In such cases, we are interested in the force associated with the ow and its eectiveness in imparting kinetic energy to the uid. For this, we dene a quantity called friction factor and express it as a function of non-dimensional quantities such as Re and relative roughness . For laminar ow, the expression for friction factor must result back to the analytical expressions derived for the situation.

Friction factor

Friction factor f is dened in the following expression: 1 Fk = f A u2 2

is the kinetic energy per unit volume of the uid with average velocity u.

For internal ow, A is the wetted area. For external ow or ow over submerged objects, A is the area projected on a plane perpendicular to the velocity u. Fk is the force associated with the uid ow. For ow through a tube, it would be the pressure times the cross-sectional area over which it acts. For a sphere falling through a liquid, it would be the buoyancy force.

Chapter 5 Energy Transport


5.1 Introduction

Energy transport or heat transfer is basically through two means: conduction and radiation. The third mode of heat transfer by convection could be imagined as a combination of conduction and advection. Conduction is a mode of energy transport by vibrational, rotational and translational degrees of freedom of atoms. The rst two are predominant modes of energy exchange between atoms in solid and liquid states while the third is predominant in gaseous state. Energy transport by radiation involves emission and absorption of electromagnetic radiation as photons typically in the infrared wavelength range. Taking cue from Lamberts law that the attenuation of electromagnetic radiation in a medium is exponential (qz = q0 exp (mz)), the absorption coecient m being higher for medium of higher density, one can consider that radiative heat transfer is mostly a surface phenomena for solids and liquids. Thus, it is often taken in to account in the boundary conditions. The governing equation for heat transfer by conduction can be derived similar to the way the governing equations for momentum transfer (Navier-Stokes equations) were derived. In that process we had followed the following sequence of steps: Balance equation or conservation principle Gauss theorem to convert surface integral to volume integral Linear constitutive relation Curie principle to simplify property tensor We will follow the same steps to derive the governing equation for energy transport. The balance equation for heat transfer is the rst law of thermodynamics or the conservation of energy. If dU is the change in the internal energy, dq is the heat ow into the system, pdV is the work done by the system and dWother is the work done by the system other than reduction in volume, dU = dq pdV + dWother dWother is usually zero for the kind of situations we are interested in. Using denition of enthalpy H as H = U + P V , 55

CHAPTER 5. ENERGY TRANSPORT

dH = dU + pdV + V dp = dq pdV + pdV + V dp = dq + V dp Writing H as a function of T and p, H= H T dT +


p

dp

Since pressure is usually left constant at atmospheric pressure, H is usally Hp . Thus, Hp = dq = Cp dT = Cp (T Tref ) (5.1)

If the volumetric heat generation term is g and Ji is the surface heat ux through a surface of area dS and surface normal ni , then we can write the energy balance for a control volume of volume dV as d dt HdV = gdV Ji ni dS

Using equation 5.1 and making use of Reynolds transport theorem (section A.8) to take the material derivative inside the integral: d Cp (T Tref )dV = dt gdV Ji ni dS (5.2)

Using the Gauss theorem to convert the surface integral to volume integral, d Cp (T Tref )dV = dt gdV Ji dV xi (5.3)

Since the integration is over the same control volume dV , we can equate the integrands. d Ji Cp T = g dt xi (5.4)

To obtain a relation between the surface heat ux Ji and its eects, we seek a linear constitutive equation as given in the following section.

5.2

Fouriers rst law

Since surface heat ux Ji tends to increase temperatures locally leading to temperature dierences in the body, it can be related to temperature gradients. The most general way of such a relation could be as given below: Jj = kij T xi

The thermal conductivity (kij ) is a tensor of order 2. Usually, the materials of interest are polycrystalline metallic materials and liquids, both of which can be considered as isotropic in G. Phanikumar 56 Transport Phenomena Notes

5.2. FOURIERS FIRST LAW most of the situations1 . Using Curie principle, thermal conductivity being a material property, it must exhibit at least as much symmetry as the material itself. Thermal conductivity for an isotropic material will be an isotropic tensor and can be written as kij = kij . For single crystalline materials that are anisotropic, one can use symmetry arguments to reduce the number of independent values necessary to write the thermal conductivity tensor. Lars Onsagers reciprocal relations come of great use here in stating that for crystals of rotational symmetry such as 3, 4 and 6 fold, the property tensor can be represented by a symmetric matrix. Using the theorem that all symmetric tensors can be diagonalised (section A.2), and applying the four fold symmetry on the tensor to reduce the number of independent values to one as shown in section A.5, we can write the thermal conductivity tensor as following for polycrystalline materials, liquids and single crystalline materials with four fold symmetry: kij = kij However, for single crystalline materials that donot possess cubic symmetry such as graphite, thermal conductivity should be written as a tensor (with two or more components). Thus, for the kind of materials that we interested in (i.e., isotropic), the ux can be expressed in terms of temperature gradient as : Jj = kij or First law of Fourier heat conduction: Ji = k T xi (5.5) T xi

The Fouriers equation can be written in a co-ordinate system independent general form as: q = kT such that it can be written for dierent co-ordinate systems as follows: Cartesian (x1 , x2 , x3 ): = k q Cylindrical (r, , z): = k q Spherical (r, , ): q = k

5.4. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

5.4

Boundary conditions

Neumann boundary condition: Heat ux is specied at the boundary. Dirichlet boundary condition: Temperature is specied at the boundaries. Newtons Law of cooling: Heat ux as a function of boundary temperature is specied at the boundary. The rate of heat transfer from a surface of a solid to the uid it is in contact with is proportional to the dierence in temperatures of the uid and the solid. q = h (Ts T ) The heat transfer coecient (h) is a property dependent on several factors including velocity of the uid, geometry of the surface and thermophysical properties of the two materials. A heat ux balance at the surface will connect the Fouriers equation with the Newtons law of cooling as follows: T |x=0 x Since h is always dened as a positive quantity irrespective of the direction of heat ow, q|x=0 = h (Ts T ) = k k T | x x=0 h= Ts T

Interface resistance: When smooth surfaces of two solids are in perfect contact, the interface can be said to be at one temperature. However, if the surfaces are not smooth and the contact is not perfect, there could be a jump in the interface temperatures2 and the resistance to heat ow across the interface is characterized by a parameter h, interfacial heat transfer coecient. The heat ux across the two interfaces can then be written similar to Newtons law as q|interface = h (Ts1 Ts2 ) Radiative heat ux: For gases at high temperatures or surfaces of solids or liquids at high temperatures, radiation can be a signicant mode of energy transport. When expressed as a boundary heat ux, it can written as: q = eSB T 4 SB is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and e is the emissivity. Radiative heat ux from surface 1 to surface 2 (of areas A1 and A2 ) that have view factors F12 and F21 is

Point eect of diusion

When the temperature dierences and the properties are kept constant, heat ux (heat per unit time per unit area) depends on the geometry - with the following geometries in the decreasing order of eectiveness: point, line, plane, edge, corner. Such a sequence of eectiveness of thermal diusion arises from the amount of space available for exchange of energy. Point eect of diusion comes of use when interpreting defects in casting. As can be seen from the equation for ux: G. Phanikumar 62 Transport Phenomena Notes

Transient 1D heat transfer


Introduction

Within the domain of unidirectional heat transfer where the transient evolution of temperatures is of interest, one can think of two extreme cases. The rst where the heat transfer from the solid is limited by thermal diusion through its bulk. This is when the removal of heat from the interface is not constrained. An example could be a hot ceramic piece kept in front of a fan. The second case is when bulk diusion of heat within the solid is not constrained at all but the heat transfer at the interface is limited by the surrounding medium. An example could be a hot copper block kept in still air. In the second case, one can assume that no thermal gradients would be present within the solid and use what is known as lumped heat capacitance method to obtain the variation of average temperature of the solid with time. This forms the interface dominated heat transfer. In the rst case, one needs to solve the equation of thermal diusion in solid to determine the thermal gradients that drive the heat ux across the interface of the solid with the ambient medium. This forms the conduction dominated heat transfer.

6.3.2

Interface dominated

The change in the temperature of an object immersed in a uid at dierent temperature can be estimated easily if the thermal conductivity of the object is high enough that no thermal gradients develop within the object. If the characteristic length scale of the object is L, we require that the inner temperature of the object Ti is as close to the surface temperature Ts as possible. A balance of ux at the surface gives: k or Ti Ts = h (Ts T ) L Ti Ts hL = Ts T k Bi = hL k

We dene Biot Number as

If Bi 0.1, Ti is close enough to Ts that thermal gradients within the object can be neglected so that Newtonian cooling is applicable. In such as case, we can write, hA (T T ) = Cp V Transport Phenomena Notes 65 dT dt G. Phanikumar

6.3.3

Conduction dominated

In problems where heat transfer is dominated by conduction, temperature as a function of time and spatial coordinates can be obtained by solving the Fourier heat conduction equation. For the problem of semi-innite domain where temperature at one end is xed and we are interested in its evolution as a function of distance and time, the governing equation can be written for a one dimensional case as follows. T 2T = 2 t x While variable separation is one way of solving this equation, it leads to summation of a series. We use a co-ordinate transformation to make the equation simpler. Put leading to x = 2 t 1 = x 2 t = t 2t T T 1 = x x 2 t 2T 1 2 T = x2 4t x2 G. Phanikumar 66 Transport Phenomena Notes

6.4. EXERCISES Equation 6.3.3 becomes 2T T = 2 2 or T = 2 T

Integrating once, log T = 2 + constant or


2 T = C1 e

Integrating once more, T =

The integral cannot be simplied and is often given as a tabulated function with the following denition and properties 2 erf() =

2 2 erf() = e erf(0) = 0

erf() = 1

erf() = erf() Thus, the solution of 6.3.3 in a semi-innite domain can be written as : x T = Aerf( ) + B 2 t The constants A and B can be determined using the boundary conditions.

Properties of glass are = 3000 kg m3 , Cp = 840 J kg1 K1 , k= 17 W m1 K1 . Verify if your answer is valid for lumped capacitance method to work. 3. A typical human body generates about 100 W due to metabolism. In order to keep the body temperature at 37 C, the heat must be dissipated through various mechanisms such as convective heat transfer, radiation, evaporation and conduction that are dynamically balanced depending on the outside temperature. If the heat loss is signicant and the core temperature drops below 21 C, death occurs. Assuming the surface area of a human body to be about 2 m2 , estimate how long a human can stay alive in (a) quiescent water at 10 C where h = 230 W m2 K1 and (b) in owing water at 10 C moving at 0.25 m s1 where h = 580 W m2 K1 .

7.1.1

Steady state heat transfer


Heat transfer normal to plug ow

Plug ow is dened as spatially constant uid ow. One usually approximates ow regimes in a chemical reactor to be plug ow. Also, ow across a porous medium under constant pressure drop leads to constant ow. The equation for heat transfer is given as: T T T T + u1 + u2 + u3 = x1 x1 t x1 2T 2T 2T + + 2 2 x2 x2 x3 1 + g Cp

Let us assume that the constant ow is along x1 and the steady state unidirectional heat transfer is along x2 . Setting these values, we can see that the governing equation reduces to: 2T k 2 +g =0 x2 Thus, plug ow normal to steady state unidirectional heat transfer has no eect on the temperature prole. Since there are no velocity gradients in a plug ow, viscous dissipiation is also not considered. Thus, often, g = 0. In the case of a velocity prole such as channel ow normal to steady state unidirectional heat transfer, the equation remains the same except that the source term g can be given by the viscous dissipation. Assuming that the uid is Newtonian and the ow to be channel ow, we can write: k 2T u2 0 + 2 =0 x2 2

We can solve the above equation subjec to the following boundary conditions: BC1: BC2: T |x2 =0 = T0 T =0 y x2 = 72

7.1.2

Heat transfer along plug ow

Let us assume that the constant ow and the steady state unidirectional heat transfer are both along x1 . We can write the governing equation as: u1 g T 2T = 2 + x1 Cp x1

If we ignore heat generation term due to viscous dissipation, then the solution can be written subject to the following boundary conditions. BC1: T |x1 =0 = T1 BC2: T |x1 = = T2 ( x ) exp u1 1 1 T T1 ( ) = 1 T2 T1 exp u 1

One can see that as u1 0, the solution approaches the linear prole as in steady state conduction for unidirectional heat transfer.

The properties of the lubricant are: = 900 kg m3 , k = 0.15 W m1 K1 , = 0.8 Pa s. Calculate the maximum temperature in the liquid lubricant layer. Assume the liquid to be owing with usual limitations as that of Couette ow.

In addition to the assumptions above, we make the following ones too. Assumptions: ( r )2 = umax 1 R u z

Surface heat ux is constant. q0 = k T = constant r Cylindrical symmetry. Nothing happens along direction. We can write the governing equation as follows: umax 1 ( r )2 T R 1 T = r z r r r

subject to the following boundary conditions: BC1: Finite temperature at the center of pipe T (r = 0, z) = nite BC2: Constant wall heat ux q0 = k BC3: Entry temperature T (r, z = 0) = T0 Before attempting to solve the above dierential equation, it is a good idea to non-dimensionalize the variables that could possibly simplify the derivation as well as the nal expressions. In this process, we recognise that q0 R has units of temperature, R is the characteristic length scale, k 2 0 = R is the characteristic time scale and that along z the uid moves a characteristic distance of umax 0 that can be used to scale z.

Chapter 8 Mass Transfer


8.1 Introduction

Mass transfer topics fall into the following four major categories. Solid state diusion: discussed mainly in the context of physical metallurgy. We can look at the governing equation and couple of sample solutions. Convective mass transfer: when ux is more important than the acutal composition distributions. Reaction with a generation term: when solute is generated or consumed at a location because of a reaction. The rate of formation of a certain product is of interest here. We can use balance of uxes taking into account the fact that more than one species are involved in the transport. Solute redistribution: as it occurs during solidication. We will look at a sample solution. Unlike the parameters used for Momentum transfer (Velocity) and heat transfer (Temperature), the parameters used for mass transfer are varied in their physical meaning as well as in their units. Composition (mass per unit volume): default variable for us Atom/Mole fraction or percentage or ppm: popular in physical metallurgy Weight fraction or percentage or ppm: a practicable quantity used in process metallurgy Partial pressure: useful unit when dealing with gases In our discussion, unless otherwise specied, we deal with the composition as our variable and convert the rest of the quantities to composition when necessary. In addition, we must also specify for which of the species are we writing down the balance equation. Meaning, instead of C as our variable, really we have Ci as our set of variables where i goes over the range of number of species participating in the mass transfer. Unless specied, we will be dealing with a situation where the balance is written down only for one species. 81

CHAPTER 8. MASS TRANSFER

Governing equation

First we write down the balance of mass for a control volume and then write the same in a geometry free form using integrals. Rate of increase in mass = inux of mass + rate of generation d dt CdV = ndS + j gdV
V

Take the material derivative into the integral using the Reynolds Transport Theorem. Convert the suface integral into volume integral using Divergence theorem. Recognize the balance of integrands as every integral is over the same arbitrary control volume. dC j = + g dt Expanding the material / complete derivative C ( ) j + C = + g u t

(8.1)

We now seek a linear constitutive relation to determine Refer to the section 43.14 of Feynman j. Lecture Series for more discussion at this point. Flux of a species is usually expressed as a product of composition of that species and the velocity of that species. j = vC If velocity of a species is the eect, then the cause is a gradient in chemical potential - meaning that atoms move to reduce the free energy of the system. The quantity that connects a cause and eect is a material property and one can use relevant theories to deduce the minimum number of entities necessary to represent that property. v = M x

M is called the mobility tensor. Using Onsagers reciprocal relations [Ons31a, Ons31b], one can say that M is a symemtric tensor. It is isotropic for isotropic media. For our discussion, we are usually limited to liquids, gases, polycrystalline materials that can be approximated to istotropic media. = MC j x Using an ideal solution approximation, = 0 + RT ln X = 0 + RT (ln X + ln ) Where, X is mole fraction and is proportional to C and is the activity of the species in the solution.

Where, D is the diusivity of the solute in the solution. Thus, the Ficks rst law of solute diusion goes as C j = D (8.2) x Substituting the same in the balance equation, C ( ) D C + g + C = u t x (8.3)

Assuming the D is constant over the range of variation of C, absence of any generation term and that the domain is solid, we get the Ficks second law of solute diusion C = D2 C t

Diusivity

Unlike the relevant properties for momentum and heat transfer, the kind of diusivity to be used depends on the situation of mass transfer problem. Following are some examples. Diusivity in gas: Using kinetic theory of gases, 1 DAA = u 3 Where, is mean free path and u is the average velocity of the atoms in the gas. = u= Thus, the diusivity in gas goes as T 3/2 .

CHAPTER 8. MASS TRANSFER Diusivity in gas entrapped in a pore: In case the gas is entrapped in a pore, instead of the mean free path from the kinetic theory of gases, we are supposed to use the pore diameter. This means the temperature dependence of Diusivity goes as T 1/2 . Liquid Diusivity: Using the Einstein equation, kB T = 6rA B DAB Solid Diusivity: Arrhenius variation D = D0 e RT
Q

The activation energy for Diusion in solid Q depends on the way diusion takes place and following are some situations where they are dierent: Diusion aided by non-equilibrium defect concentration eg., due to quenched-in vacancies Pipe diusion aided by dislocations Grain boundary aided diusion Surface diusion Stress induced diusion Bulk diusion

Solid state diusion

We consider two simple cases of solid state diusion.

8.3.1

Fixed boundary compositions

In the domain, composition is xed with the following boundary conditions: C = Cs at x = 0 and t > 0 C = C at x = C = Cs at t = and x > 0 The governing equation is C 2C =D 2 t x By using a variable substition = boundary conditions as:

In the domain, the total solute is xed with the following boundary condition: Cdx = M

The governing equation to be solved is same as Ficks second law of solute diusion. In order to gure out the form of C that will satisfy the governing equation as well as the boundary condition, we use the property of erf(x). 2 erf() = 1 = Using algebraic manipulations,

Flux and concentration

Most of the time, one is interested in determining ux of a species as a function of the concentration of that species. Transport Phenomena Notes 85 G. Phanikumar

CHAPTER 8. MASS TRANSFER Sieverts Law For absorption of gases in metals, one can use the following expression to obtain the concentration. 1 H2 [H] 2 Equilibrium constant is given by [H] K= p H2 If the concentration of hydrogen is given in ppm and the partial pressure in atm, then K would be in ppm/ atm. One must watch the units of K to know the convention followed. This is because pressure could be in units such as bar (atm), torr (mmHg), mbar or Pa. Conversion of partial pressure of a gas into concentration is done by approximating the gas to be an ideal gas. pA V = nA RT CA = pA nA = V RT

Here, CA is given in mol/vol and may need to be converted to mass/vol using molar weight and density.

8.4

Mass transfer with advection

In a situation where the domain consists of species A and B and we are interested in the ux of species A, there are following possible situations. Species B is not present / species A is very dilute in B and thus B can be said to not take part in the diusion process. In this situation, the ux is given by Ficks rst law. Species B is present and takes part in the diusion process. Additionally, an assumption can be made that net ux of B is zero and species B moves only to replace species A. This approach is called stagnant layer approach. Species B is present and the domain is not stagnant. In such a situation, the inuence of bulk velocity on the ux of both species be determined separately. The rst case is simple as discussed in the previous section. For the second case, we can proceed by assuming that the ux is one dimensional and the velocity of the species A is v which is same (but opposite in direction) for species B. We can rst derive the expression of ux to accommodate eect of advection into Ficks rst law. Consider the mass balance equation in cartesian co-ordinate system: CA CA CA CA CA CA CA +u +v +w = DAB + DAB + DAB +g t x y z x x y y z z G. Phanikumar 86 Transport Phenomena Notes

8.4. MASS TRANSFER WITH ADVECTION Assuming the uid to be incompressible, the continuity equation can be written as: u v w + + =0 x y z Multiplying the above equation with CA and additing to the balance equation, CA CA u CA v CA w CA CA CA +u +CA +v +CA +w +CA = DAB + DAB + DAB t x x y y z z x x y y z z CA CA CA CA uCA vCA wCA + + + = DAB + DAB + DAB t x y z x x y y z z CA = t x CA CA CA DAB uCA + DAB vCA + DAB wCA x y y z z ( ) ( ) CA = DAB CA A = jA uC t

Thus, the modied Ficks rst law that takes advection into account can be given as: uC jA = DAB CA + A Where, jA is the net ux of species A taking the advection into account.

8.4.1

Stagnant layer approach

Consider a situation such as in the gure 8.2. At the bottom layer, species A is being generated and we are interested in the net ux of A and its distribution in the layer above. It can be taken that in the stagnant layer, there is no net ux of B. The net ux equations are: CA + uCA x CB jB = DAB + uCB = 0 x jA = DAB or u= If only species A and B are present, C A + CB = 1 such that CB CA = x x DAB CB CB x

Substituting in the equation of net ux of A, Transport Phenomena Notes 87 G. Phanikumar

At x = 0, CA = CA0 we obtain the solution for distribution of CA in the stagnant layer as: ln G. Phanikumar 1 CA x 1 CAL = ln L 1 CA0 1 CA0 88 Transport Phenomena Notes

8.4. MASS TRANSFER WITH ADVECTION Using the above expression, CA (1 CA ) 1 CAL = ln x L 1 CA0 Substiting the same to obtain jA , jA = DAB 1 CAL ln L 1 CA0

In the limit of CA0 = 0 and the value of CAL being small, the above equation reduces to AL jA = DAB CL , which is the same as Ficks rst law valid for the case of no advection. Thus, the stagnant layer approach with very dilute species can be approximated to the regime where Ficks law is applicable even though the other species is also taking part in the diusion process. It is easy to see that instead of concentrations, if one were to use partial pressures of the respective species, one would have the following equations valid: pA + pB = p pA = RT CA ln x p pAL p pA = ln L p pA0 p pA0 pDAB p pAL ln RT L p pA0

jA when expressed in rate of loss of mass can be accuarately measured and thus provides an excellent means to obtain DAB by weight loss method using a setup similar to that of gure 8.2.

8.4.2

Mass transfer coecient

In many situations, it may be favourable to dene a mass transfer coecient akin to heat transfer coecient such that one can experimentally or otherwise determine it. The denition is as given below: jA = kA (CA CA0 ) If the units of CA , as used commonly, are mass/vol then the units of kA are same as those of velocity. Once the mass transfer coecient is known, ux can be determined using the above equation. In situations such as solid state diusion, kA can be determined by evaluating the slope of the species distribution (say, error function) itself. Eg., for transient diusion in solid / quiescent liquid whose bulk composition is CA0 and is in contact with atmosphere with zero concentration of species A as illustrated in the gure, we can write the following ux balance. Writing the composition distribution for species A in the domain, Transport Phenomena Notes 89 G. Phanikumar

Chilton-Colburn Analogy

In case the transport properties are known for one quantity (say, heat) and we are interested in the transport of another quantity (say, solute), we can make use of the similarity expressions thanks to the fact that under laminar conditions and when fully developed proles are present, similarity relations are valid. The problem is to connect friction factor, heat transfer coecient and mass transfer coecient at an interface. If the velocity, temperature and solute proles are fully developed, then the following three expressions will all be the same functions (eg., parabolas for a tube): v T Ts CA CA0 = = v T Ts CA, CA0 Equating the slopes at the interface since the proles are the same: v T Ts CA CA0 = = x T Ts x0 x CA, CA0 x0 x v x0 Cp = =1 k DAB or Transport Phenomena Notes 91 G.

Reaction mass transfer

In a reaction, we are interested in the rate of formation of a particular product, usually a condensed one. It can usually be obtained by knowing the ux of that species by balacing with the ux of a diusing species and applying appropriate boundary conditions. The compositions of the participating species are related by the equilibrium constant of the reaction. Consider the following example. A(g) nB(g) + C(s) K= [B]n pn = B [A] pA p A + pB = p

One can solve for pB by solving the above two equations. One has to know the value of K at a given temperature and should watch out the units of K to know the convention for the units of [A] and [B]. Once the value of K is known, it is possible to obtain the ux of one of the species, say A, using either the Ficks law or the stagnant layer approach depending on how dilute the system is. The uxes of the diusing species A and B are related to as: jB = njA = njC If B is a dilute species in a stagnant layer of A of height L and a total pressure p, one can use the following expression for jB jB = pDAB p pBL ln RT L p pB0

The quantity jC can then be converted to appropriate rate of formation as mass or volume or moles or thickness as desired using the properties of C.

Appendix A Derivations
A.1 The quotient rule

Adapted from section 2.62 of [Ari62]. Let bi be any vector and aij be a matrix of nine numbers (i, j = 1, 2, 3). If a relation could be found such that aij bi = cj is vector, then aij is a tensor of order 2. Consider a co-ordinate transformation with the tranformation matrix Tij . Since b and c are vectors, b = Tpi bi or bi = Tpib (A.1) p p c = Tqj cj q In the new co-ordinate system:
a bp = c = Tqj cj = Tqj aij bi = Tqj aij Tpib pq q p

(a Tpi Tqj aij )b = 0 pq p Since b is only the arbitrary vector bi in new co-ordinate system which is independent of aij p the only way the above equation can hold is if a = Tpi Tqj aij pq which is the denition for the entity aij to be a tensor of order 2.s

A.2

Symmetric tensors are diagonalisable

Adapted from section 2.5 of [Ari62]. If aij is a tensor and bi is an arbitrary vector then by quotient rule, cj = aij bi is a vector. For some bi , the vector ci could be in the same orientation such that if is the ratio of their magnitudes, aij bi = bj = ij bi . (aij ij ) bi = 0 94

A.2. SYMMETRIC TENSORS ARE DIAGONALISABLE This is a set of three unknowns (a1 , a2 and a3 ) and for a solution to exist, must satisfy the following equation: det (aij ij ) = 0 3 X2 + Y Z = 0 X = aii = Trace(aij ) Y = a22 a33 a23 a32 + a11 a33 a13 a31 + a22 a11 a12 a21 Z = det(aij ) X, Y and Z are three invariants of aij under rotation of co-ordinate system. The above is called the characteristic equation of the tensor aij and the three values of its characteristic values / latent roots / eigen values. For the three eigen values (p) , p = 1 : 3, the corresponding characteristic vectors (bi(p) , p = 1 : 3 be denoted as Tj1, Tj2 and Tj3 .

Levi-Civita tensor is isotropic

(A.8)

In the above determinant, if p = q or p = r or q = r, two columns being same will make the R.H.S. go to 0. If p, q and r are cyclic (e.g., 1, 2, 3) then the R.H.S. is the determinant of the transformation matrix itself which is 1. If p, q and r are anti-cyclic (e.g., 1, 3, 2), then the R.H.S. is the determinant of the transformation matrix (with two rows interchanged) which is -1. These are the values dened for pqr . Hence the R.H.S. can be equated to . Thus, pqr = Tip Tjq Tkr ijk pqr Since the above result is applicable for any Tij , ijk is isotropic.

Since there is no obvious relation between the components of classes I, III(i), III(ii) and III(iii), we can represent aijkl by a linear combination of each class: aijkl = 1 (ij kl Xijkl ) + 2 (ik jl Xijkl ) + 3 (il jk Xijkl ) + 4 Xijkl or aijkl = 1 ij kl + 2 ik jl + 3 il jk + (4 1 2 3 )Xijkl Choose an operation D : arbitrary rotation by some angle.

A.5. SIMPLIFICATION OF TENSOR PROPERTIES FOR CRYSTALS

A.5

Simplication of tensor properties for crystals

Lars Onsager has proved ([Ons31a],[Ons31b]) using microscopic reversibility that for crystals with symmetries of order 3,4,6 etc., the thermal conductivity tensor is symmetric. k11 k12 k13 kij = k12 k22 k23 k13 k23 k33

(A.10)

For cubic crystals, the form of the tensors simplies even further. Take co-ordinate system rotations about x3 by 900 for which the transformation matrix is: 0 1 0 T = 1 0 0 0 0 1 By denition, if T is the transformation matrix of a co-ordinate axes rotation,
kij = Tpi Tqj kpq

(A.11)

Since the tensor in discussion is a property that should not change upon co-ordinate rotations that leave the crystal identical, k = k Take k11 and expand the above denition of tensor: k11 = Ti1 Tj2 kij = T21 T21 k22 = k22 or k11 = k22 Similarly, k21 = Ti2 Tj1 kij = T12 T21 k12 = k12 = k21 or k21 = k12 = 0 Similarly rotating the co-ordinate system about the other two axes will show that all o diagonal terms of kij vanish and all diagonal terms are same. 0 k11 0 k11 0 = kij kij = 0 0 0 k11

Thus, only one value of k is needed to completely specify the second order symmetric tensor property such as thermal conductivity of a cubic crystal. Transport Phenomena Notes 99 G. Phanikumar

Change of variable with multiple integrals

Adapated from section 3.16 of [Ari62] In cartesian co-ordinates the element of volume dV is the volume of rectangular parallelepiped of sides dx1 , dx2 and dx3 : dV = dx1 dx2 dx3 It is sometimes convenient to describe position by some other co-ordinates, say, 1 , 2 and 3 . The change of co-ordinate system must be given by xing a point x such that xi = xi (1 , 2 , 3) Small dierences in the new co-ordinate system are given by dxi = xi dj j

If dx(j) are vectors with components ( xji dj ) for j = 1, 2, 3 then the volume of the element is dV = dx(1) (dx(2) dx(3) ) Using ijk to write the short form of determinant (triple product), dV = ijk xi xi xi d1 d2 d3 1 2 3

Cauchys stress principle

Adapted from section 5.11 of [Ari62]. Let n be the unit outward normal at a point of the surface S and ( ) the force per unit n area exerted there by the material outside S. Then Cauchys principle asserts that ( ) is a n function of the position x, the time t and the orientation n of the surface element. Thus the total internal force exerted on the volume V through its bounding surface S is ( )dS n

If f is the external force per unit mass (e.g., f = gx3 ), the total external force will be Transport Phenomena Notes f dV 103 G. Phanikumar

APPENDIX A. DERIVATIONS The principle of conservation of linear momentum asserts that the sum of these two forces equals the rate of change of linear momentum of the volume. d dt vdV = f dV + ( )dS n

If V is a volume of a given shape with a characteristic dimension d then V d3 and S d2 . As we let V shrink on a point but preserve the shape, the rst two integrals decrease as d3 where as the last will as d2 . So, 1 lim 2 d0 d ie., the stresses are locally in equilibrium. ( )dS = 0 n

A.11

Stress is a tensor

Adapted from section 5.12 of [Ari62] and section 1.3, pg.9 of [Bat67]. Stress is dened as force per unit area. Consider all the forces acting instantaneously on the uid within an element of volume V in the shape of a tetrahedron. The three orthogonal faces have areas A1 , A2 and A3 and unit outward normals as a, and c. The fourth inclined b face has area A and unit normal n. The resultant of surface forces is ( )A + (a)A1 + ( n b)A2 + ()A3 c In view of the orthogonality of three of the faces, A1 = a nA b A2 = nA A3 = c nA Thus the balance of forces along direction i can be written as j i (2 ) + cj i (3 ) nj n x x x A i ( ) aj i (1 ) + b

As we shrink the volume (V d3 ), since the area shrinks only as S d2 , the quantity in square brackets must go to zero for local equilibrium. ie., i ( ) = aj i (1 ) + j i (2 ) + cj i (3 ) nj n x b x x

If we represent the quantity in the ower brackets on R.H.S. as ij , n i ( ) = ij nj

Since the vectors i (surface force per unit area) and n (unit normal to the surface) donot depend on the choice of co-ordinate axes, the quantity connecting them ij must represent (i, j)-component of a axes-independent entity namely, a tensor of order 2. This is also true by the quotient rule of tensors. G. Phanikumar 104 Transport Phenomena Notes

A.12. STRESS TENSOR IS SYMMETRIC

A.12

Stress tensor is symmetric

Adapted from section 2.7 pg. 57 of [SAH89]. Consider stress at the center of a control volume of size x1 x2 x3 as shown in the gure. The torque produced by the forces about an axis along x3 and through the center of gravity of the CV is T = 12 x1 x3 x2 21 x2 x3 x1 or T = (12 21 )x1 x2 x3 The torque may be equated to the product of angular acceleration (3 ) and the moment of inertia taken about the previously mentioned axis (3 ): x (12 21 )x1 x2 x3 = or (12 21 ) = (x2 + x2 )3 2 12 1 x1 x2 x3 (x2 + x2 )3 1 2 12

As we shrink the CV to innitesimal size, since the term in the bracket on the right goes to zero, if the L.H.S. were to remain nite 3 must blow up. It can be prevented only if L.H.S. is zero. ie., 12 = 21 or The tensor ij is symmetric.

Meaning of terms in strain rate tensor

Figure A.1 shows how a uid element deforms during its motion. The deformation can be analysed into dierent modes and the respective strains and strain rates can be expressed in terms of the velocity gradients as shown below. Initial Positions: A B D x0 (x0 + x) x0 y0 y0 (y0 + y)

A.14. VELOCITY GRADIENT IS A TENSOR

A.14

Velocity gradient is a tensor

Adapted from section 4.41 of [Ari62] Consider two points P and Q at co-ordinates and + d. At time t they are to be found at x(, t) and x( + d, t). Using only the rst term of Taylors expansion, xi dj j

xi ( + d, t) = xi (, t) + So the displacement vector is

dx = x( + d, t) x(, t) where dxi = xi dj j


xi j

Since dx and d are vectors, by quotient rule, the nine quantities a tensor of order 2. Since we dene velocity v as v = is
dx , dt

form the components of

the relative velocity of two uid particles at and + d

dui =

ui d xi dk = dj k dt j

Using the inverse of the relation given above, ui k ui dxj = dxj k xj xj

dui =

ui Once again, by quotient rule, the components of xj form a tensor or order 2. This is called velocity gradient tensor. Like any tensor of order two, velocity gradient tensor can be split into two tensors, one symmetric and one anti-symmetric.

ui 1 = 2 xj

ui uj + xj xi

1 + 2

ui uj xj xi

We denote the symmetric part of the velocity gradient tensor as eij (strain rate tensor) and the anti-symmetric part as ij (vorticity tensor). ui = eij + ij xj Transport Phenomena Notes 107 G. Phanikumar

APPENDIX A. DERIVATIONS As shown in the section A.13, we can recognise that eij represents rate of strain (both dilational and shear) and ij represents rigid body rotation.
