Ruzicka ∗ Department of Multiphase Reactors, Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, Czech Academy of Sciences, Rozvojova 135, 16502 Prague, Czech Republic This contribution is dedicated to Kamil Admiral´ Wichterle, a professor of chemical engineering, who admitted to feel a bit lost in the jungle of the dimensionless numbers, in our seminar at “Za Plıhalovic´ ohradou” abstract The goal is to provide a little review on dimensionless numbers, commonly encountered in chemical engineering. Both their sources are considered: dimensional analysis and scaling of governing equations with boundary con- ditions. The numbers produced by scaling of equation are presented for transport of momentum, heat and mass. Momentum transport is considered in both single-phase and multi-phase flows. The numbers obtained are assigned the physical meaning, and their mutual relations are highlighted. Certain drawbacks of building correlations based on dimensionless numbers are pointed out. © 2008 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Module 6 : Lecture 1 DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (Part – I) Overview
    NPTEL – Mechanical – Principle of Fluid Dynamics Module 6 : Lecture 1 DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (Part – I) Overview Many practical flow problems of different nature can be solved by using equations and analytical procedures, as discussed in the previous modules. However, solutions of some real flow problems depend heavily on experimental data and the refinements in the analysis are made, based on the measurements. Sometimes, the experimental work in the laboratory is not only time-consuming, but also expensive. So, the dimensional analysis is an important tool that helps in correlating analytical results with experimental data for such unknown flow problems. Also, some dimensionless parameters and scaling laws can be framed in order to predict the prototype behavior from the measurements on the model. The important terms used in this module may be defined as below; Dimensional Analysis: The systematic procedure of identifying the variables in a physical phenomena and correlating them to form a set of dimensionless group is known as dimensional analysis. Dimensional Homogeneity: If an equation truly expresses a proper relationship among variables in a physical process, then it will be dimensionally homogeneous. The equations are correct for any system of units and consequently each group of terms in the equation must have the same dimensional representation. This is also known as the law of dimensional homogeneity. Dimensional variables: These are the quantities, which actually vary during a given case and can be plotted against each other. Dimensional constants: These are normally held constant during a given run. But, they may vary from case to case. Pure constants: They have no dimensions, but, while performing the mathematical manipulation, they can arise.

  • The Dimnum Package
    The dimnum package Miguel R. Clemente [email protected] v1.0.1 from 2021/04/05 Note: Prandtl number is redefined from the amsmath package. 1 Introduction This package simplifies the calling of Dimensionless Numbers in math or text mode. In Table 1 you can find all available Dimensionless Numbers. 2 Usage A Dimensionless number is composed of four items: the command, the symbol, the name, its identifier. You can call a Dimensionless Number in three distinct ways: by its symbol { using the command (i.e. \Ar { Ar). by its name (short version) { appending [s] to the command (i.e. \Bi[s] { Biot). by its name and identifier (long version) { appending [l] to the command (i.e. \Kn[l] { Knudsen number). Symbol, short and long versions, all work in math or text mode without the need of further commands. 1 Besides the comprehensive list of included Dimensionless Numbers, this pack- age also introduces a command to create new Dimensionless Numbers. Creating a Dimensionless Number is achieved by using \newdimnum{\command}{symbol}{name}{identifier} for example, to add the Morton number we write \newdimnum{\Mo}{Mo}{Morton}{number} The identifier can be left empty, such as in the case of Drag Coefficient \newdimnum{Cd}{\ensuremath{C_d}}{Drag Coefficient}{} in this example we also introduce an important command. When the Dimension- less Number symbol is always expressed in math mode { either by definition or the use of subscripts or superscripts { we add \ensuremath{} to encompass the symbol, ensuring a proper representation of the Dimensionless Number. You can add your own Dimensionless Numbers to your projects.

Foreword The Saudi Standards ,Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO)has adopted the International standard No. ISO 80000-11:2019 “Quantities and units — Part 11: Characteristic numbers” issued by (ISO). The text of this international standard has been translated into Arabic so as to be approved as a Saudi standard. DRAFT DRAFT SAUDI STANDADR SASO ISO 80000-11: 2020 Introduction Characteristic numbers are physical quantities of unit one, although commonly and erroneously called “dimensionless” quantities. They are used in the studies of natural and technical processes, and (can) present information about the behaviour of the process, or reveal similarities between different processes. Characteristic numbers often are described as ratios of forces in equilibrium; in some cases, however, they are ratios of energy or work, although noted as forces in the literature; sometimes they are the ratio of characteristic times. Characteristic numbers can be defined by the same equation but carry different names if they are concerned with different kinds of processes. Characteristic numbers can be expressed as products or fractions of other characteristic numbers if these are valid for the same kind of process. So, the clauses in this document are arranged according to some groups of processes. As the amount of characteristic numbers is tremendous, and their use in technology and science is not uniform, only a small amount of them is given in this document, where their inclusion depends on their common use.

In fact, it is probably fair to say that very few problems involving real fluids can be Experimentation solved by analysis alone. The solution to many problems is achieved through the use of a and modeling are combination of analysis and experimental data. Thus, engineers working on fluid mechanics widely used tech- problems should be familiar with the experimental approach to these problems so that they niques in fluid can interpret and make use of data obtained by others, such as might appear in handbooks, mechanics. or be able to plan and execute the necessary experiments in their own laboratories. In this chapter we consider some techniques and ideas that are important in the planning and exe- cution of experiments, as well as in understanding and correlating data that may have been obtained by other experimenters.

  • 2002 05 Qualification of Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Custody Transfer of Natural Gas Hill GE Panametrics
    Paper 2.1 Qualification of Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Custody Transfer of Natural Gas Using Atmospheric Air Calibration Facilities Jim Hill, GE Panametrics Andreas Weber, RMG Messtechnik Joern Weber, RMG Messtechnik North Sea Flow Measurement Workshop 22nd – 25th October 2002 Qualification of Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Custody Transfer of Natural Gas Using Atmospheric Air Calibration Facilities Jim Hill, GE Panametrics Andreas Weber, RMG Messtechnik Joern Weber, RMG Messtechnik 1 INTRODUCTION The ability to operate in atmospheric air was a significant factor in the joint development by GE Panametrics and RMG Messtechnik of a custody transfer meter. Using air as a test medium yields major benefits. Two benefits are cost and availability. Natural gas calibration facilities cost thousands of dollars per day to use. This expense alone can accumulate into millions of dollars over the development of a meter, forming a barrier to entry to meter manufacturers. Also, the flow rate, if any, available at a natural gas test facility is dependent on seasonal, and even daily demand. The another factor is safety. Working at atmospheric pressure allows the developer to quickly make prototypes and design, without the safety concerns involved with high-pressure gas. Also, tests can be conducted with electronics exposed so that the performance of individual circuits and embedded software can be monitored, without the risk of encountering combustible gas. The final advantage is the flexibility that an open-loop calibration facility provides. Since the loop draws air from an open room, almost infinite combinations of installation conditions can be created. This is important, as actual field installations are a continuous distribution of configurations.

  • Mechanics of a Plant in Fluid Flow Highlight Keywords Abstract
    Posted online 05/16/2019 Mechanics of a Plant in Fluid Flow F.P. Gosselin Mechanics of a Plant in Fluid Flow Frédérick P. Gosselin Laboratory for Multiscale Mechanics, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] Highlight Plants reduce their drag by deforming in the flow, sway with the waves and make use of flow-induced vibrations to increase their exchange with the fluid they live in. Keywords Aerodynamics; Current; Drag; Elasticity; Flow-Induced Vibrations; Fluid-Structure Interactions; Hydrodynamics; Loads; Pollen Release and Capture; Reconfiguration; Waves; Wind Abstract Plants live in constantly moving fluid, whether air or water. In response to the loads associated with fluid motion, plants bend and twist, often with great amplitude. These large deformations are not found in traditional engineering application and thus necessitate new specialised scientific developments. Studying Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) in botany, forestry and agricultural science is crucial to the optimisation of biomass production for food, energy, and construction materials. FSI are also central in the study of the ecological adaptation of plants to their environment. This review paper surveys the mechanics of FSI on individual plants. We present a short refresher on fluids mechanics then dive in the statics and dynamics of plant-fluid interactions. For every phenomenon considered, we present the appropriate dimensionless numbers to characterise the problem, discuss the implications of these phenomena on biological processes, and propose future research avenues. We cover the concept of reconfiguration while considering poroelasticity, torsion, chirality, buoyancy, and skin friction.
