An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics: Supplemental Web Appendices
An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics: Supplemental Web Appendices Faith A. Morrison Professor of Chemical Engineering Michigan Technological University November 5, 2013 2 c 2013 Faith A. Morrison, all rights reserved. Appendix C Supplemental Mathematics Appendix C.1 Multidimensional Derivatives In section 1.3.1.1 we reviewed the basics of the derivative of single-variable functions. The same concepts may be applied to multivariable functions, leading to the definition of the partial derivative. Consider the multivariable function f(x, y). An example of such a function would be elevations above sea level of a geographic region or the concentration of a chemical on a flat surface. To quantify how this function changes with position, we consider two nearby points, f(x, y) and f(x + ∆x, y + ∆y) (Figure C.1). We will also refer to these two points as f x,y (f evaluated at the point (x, y)) and f . | |x+∆x,y+∆y In a two-dimensional function, the “rate of change” is a more complex concept than in a one-dimensional function. For a one-dimensional function, the rate of change of the function f with respect to the variable x was identified with the change in f divided by the change in x, quantified in the derivative, df/dx (see Figure 1.26). For a two-dimensional function, when speaking of the rate of change, we must also specify the direction in which we are interested. For example, if the function we are considering is elevation and we are standing near the edge of a cliff, the rate of change of the elevation in the direction over the cliff is steep, while the rate of change of the elevation in the opposite direction is much more gradual. -

Geosc 548 Notes R. Dibiase 9/2/2016
Geosc 548 Notes R. DiBiase 9/2/2016 1. Fluid properties and concept of continuum • Fluid: a substance that deforms continuously under an applied shear stress (e.g., air, water, upper mantle...) • Not practical/possible to treat fluid mechanics at the molecular level! • Instead, need to define a representative elementary volume (REV) to average quantities like velocity, density, temperature, etc. within a continuum • Continuum: smoothly varying and continuously distributed body of matter – no holes or discontinuities 1.1 What sets the scale of analysis? • Too small: bad averaging • Too big: smooth over relevant scales of variability… An obvious length scale L for ideal gases is the mean free path (average distance traveled by before hitting another molecule): = ( 1 ) 2 2 where kb is the Boltzman constant, πr is the effective4√2 cross sectional area of a molecule, T is temperature, and P is pressure. Geosc 548 Notes R. DiBiase 9/2/2016 Mean free path of atmosphere Sea level L ~ 0.1 μm z = 50 km L ~ 0.1 mm z = 150 km L ~ 1 m For liquids, not as straightforward to estimate L, but typically much smaller than for gas. 1.2 Consequences of continuum approach Consider a fluid particle in a flow with a gradient in the velocity field : �⃑ For real fluids, some “slow” molecules get caught in faster flow, and some “fast” molecules get caught in slower flow. This cannot be reconciled in continuum approach, so must be modeled. This is the origin of fluid shear stress and molecular viscosity. For gases, we can estimate viscosity from first principles using ideal gas law, calculating rate of momentum exchange directly. -

General Navier-Stokes-Like Momentum and Mass-Energy Equations
General Navier-Stokes-like Momentum and Mass-Energy Equations Jorge Monreal Department of Physics, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, USA Abstract A new system of general Navier-Stokes-like equations is proposed to model electromagnetic flow utilizing analogues of hydrodynamic conservation equa- tions. Such equations are intended to provide a different perspective and, potentially, a better understanding of electromagnetic mass, energy and mo- mentum behavior. Under such a new framework additional insights into electromagnetism could be gained. To that end, we propose a system of momentum and mass-energy conservation equations coupled through both momentum density and velocity vectors. Keywords: Navier-Stokes; Electromagnetism; Euler equations; hydrodynamics PACS: 42.25.Dd, 47.10.ab, 47.10.ad 1. Introduction 1.1. System of Navier-Stokes Equations Several groups have applied the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations to Electro- magnetic (EM) fields through analogies of EM field flows to hydrodynamic fluid flow. Most recently, Boriskina and Reinhard made a hydrodynamic analogy utilizing Euler’s approximation to the Navier-Stokes equation in arXiv:1410.6794v2 [physics.class-ph] 29 Aug 2016 order to describe their concept of Vortex Nanogear Transmissions (VNT), which arise from complex electromagnetic interactions in plasmonic nanos- tructures [1]. In 1998, H. Marmanis published a paper that described hydro- dynamic turbulence and made direct analogies between components of the Email address: [email protected] (Jorge Monreal) Preprint submitted to Annals of Physics August 30, 2016 NS equation and Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism[2]. Kambe for- mulated equations of compressible fluids using analogous Maxwell’s relation and the Euler approximation to the NS equation[3]. -
Phenomena at the Border Between Quantum Physics and General Relativity
Phenomena at the border between quantum physics and general relativity by Valentina Baccetti A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research. Victoria University of Wellington 2014 Abstract In this thesis we shall present a collection of research results about phenomena that lie at the interface between quantum physics and general relativity. The motivation behind our research work is to find alternative ways to tackle the problem of a quantum theory of/for gravitation. In the general introduction, we shall briefly recall some of the characteristics of the well-established approaches to this problem that have been developed since the beginning of the middle of the last century. Afterward we shall illustrate why one would like to engage in alternative paths to better understand the problem of a quantum theory of/for gravitation, and the extent to which they will be able to shed some light into this problem. In the first part of the thesis, we shall focus on formulating physics without Lorentz invariance. In the introduction to this part we shall describe the motiva- tions that are behind such a possible choice, such as the possibility that the physics at energies near Planck regime may violate Lorentz symmetry. In the following part we shall first consider a minimalist way of breaking Lorentz invariance by renouncing the relativity principle, that corresponds to the introduction of a preferred frame, the aether frame. In this case we shall look at the transformations between a generic inertial frame and the aether frame still requiring the transformations to be linear. -

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering 150A Transport Processes Spring Semester 2019
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering 150A Transport Processes Spring Semester 2019 Objective: To introduce the basic concepts of fluid mechanics and heat transfer necessary for solution of engineering/science problems. Text: Required: Welty, Rorrer, and Foster, “Fundamentals of Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer,” 6th ed., John Wiley (2015). Recommended: 1. Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot, “Transport Phenomena,” 2nd ed. John Wiley, NY (2002). 2. Denn, “Process Fluid Mechanics,” Prentice-Hall, NJ (1980). 3. White, “Fluid Mechanics,” 2nd ed. McGraw-Hill, NY (1986). 4. Middleman, “An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics,” Wiley, NY (1998). Description: CBE 150A discusses fluid mechanics and introduces heat transfer: two processes which together with mass transfer (CBE 150B) comprise the field of transport phenomena. Since the transport or movement of momentum, heat and mass is indigenous to all chemical processing, this course is basic to what follows in the curriculum. In other words, this is really a base course of the curriculum. Text coverage is Chapters 1 – 22, excluding Chapter 10. However, lecture material will not necessarily follow the text. Students are expected to have a working knowledge of simple ordinary differential equations and calculus. COURSE SCHEDULE Total Lectures: 40 Week 1: January 23 Concept of Continuum Mechanics, Shell Balance for Statics January 25 Barometric Equation, Manometer Behavior, Archimedes Principle Week 2: January 28 Plane Couette Flow, Streamlines, Stress and Strain, Newtonian fluids, Viscosity Fluxes and driving -
