On the basis of the software package "MathCad", by solving the Stefan-Maxwell diffusion equations, the evolution of the features of mass transfer in a three-component gas mixture, depending on pressure changes, has been numerically studied. In this analysis, the mixing process is studied in a vertical cylindrical channel of a finite size and at the isothermal conditions. The governing equations are solved at the boundary conditions assuming the absence of matter transfer through the walls of diffusion channel. Through the Rayleigh partial numbers, the influence of the pressure change on the behaviour of diffusion and convective flows is examined. The numerical results reveal that an increase in the pressure leads to a change of modes in ternary gas mixture. The present results are in good agreement with the existing experimental data.

The main objective of this article is to investigate the evolution of the mass transfer regimes in three-component gas mixture subject to the pressure and the diameter of diffusion channel. Two series of experiments on gaseous diffusion instabilities are reported. In one series the stability limits are investigated as a function of pressure and diameter for the system 0.4722 He + 0.5278 Ar - N2. In the other series the convection structures are made visible with the help of shadow method. The experimentalresults reveal that an increase in the pressure and the diameter of diffusion channel leads to a change of the type of mixing in ternary gas mixture.Numerical analysis of the mixing process is studied in a vertical cylindrical channel of a finite size and at the isothermal conditions.

This work aims to study heat and mass transfer in solids with parallelepiped shape with particular reference to drying process. A transient three-dimensional mathematical model based on the Fick ́s and Fourier ́s Laws was developed to predict heat and mass transport in solids considering constant physical properties and convective boundary conditions at the surface of the solid. The analytical solution of the governing equations was obtained using the method of separation of variables. The study was applied in the drying of common ceramic bricks. Predicted results of the heating and drying kinetics and the moisture and temperature distributions inside the material during the process, are compared with experimental data and good agreement was obtained. It has been found that the vertices of the solid dry and heat first. This provokes thermal and hydric stresses inside the material, which may compromise the quality of the product after drying.

In this work, a two-dimensional numerical model of heat and mass transfer for the convective drying process of ceramic material was developed. The governing equations of fully coupled non-linear partial differential was derived from the most comprehensive model with considering the heat, moisture and gas transport along with the influence of microscopic pore temperature gradient. Through validation the distribution of the measured variables and coefficients (diffusivity) show a good agreement with the drying stage in porous material.

An equation was derived which describes the pressure-time relationship that occurs at the end of a dead-ended or volume-terminated pneumatic transmission line following a sudden pressure change at its input. The two partial differential equations which are solved are basic for transient fluid flow in pipes and analogous to the equations for transient electric current in lines without leakage. The derivation was based on a one-dimensional uniformly distributed system, small, reversible, adiabatic-pressure changes, and laminar flow. Experimental results obtained from tests on 3/8-in. and 1/4-in. tubing showed good agreement with the theoretical results.

Non-Technical Summary Why cyclones deepen and fill up is one of the fundamental problems in meteorology that still largely resists theoretical treatment; but it is a matter of great practical importance because it does not seem that our daily forecasts will improve greatly until we find quantitative expressions for the factors leading to development as well as mere translation of pressure systems. Mr. Gringorten in this paper follows up a line of attack already laid down by several European investigators to see how well it may agree with reality. While he does not offer us a new principle the result is very interesting because he shows that the familiar conception of the isallobaric wind component, i.e. the small departure of the wind from the “gradient wind” which follows the isobars (except with surface friction), must play an important role in the pressure changes observed on the weather maps or the barograms every day. Qualitatively we have believed this for some time but Mr. Gringorten has computed the expected pressure change, from formulae proposed by Bjerknes and by Sutcliffe, for a particular time and place. This case was for the layers between 2000 and 8000 feet above Detroit between 7:30 p.m. Feb. 2 and 7:30 p.m. Feb. 3, 1940. The computed pressure change at 2000 feet was at the rate of 22.8 millibars in 12 hours but the observed change was only 5 mb. The practical meteorologist will not regard this as very good agreement but in view of the great difficulties in the theoretical treatment of such a problem the theoretician finds some consolation in that at least the computation gives results in the right direction. Of course, as Mr. Gringorten points out, it was obvious on Feb. 3 from the A. M. weather map that the pressure would fall at Detroit by that evening, and no one would suggest that the theory be used for forecasting.—R. G. S.

We investigate the steady boundary layer mixed convective flow over a horizontal impermeable wall embedded in a porous medium filled with a water-based nanofluid. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of the volume fraction parameter. The main objective of the present study is to investigate viscous dissipation and Soret effects on heat and mass transfer in a nanofluid containing Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles. The temperature and concentrations at the wall were kept constant. A similarity transformation was used to obtain a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting nonlinear governing equations with associated boundary conditions were solved numerically using the Matlab bvp4c solver. The effects of viscous dissipation and the Soret parameter on dimensionless temperature, concentration, heat and mass transfer are presented graphically. It was observed that the heat transfer rate decreased with an increase in nanoparticle volume fraction. Comparison of current and previously published results (Lai and Kulaki [10], Arfin et al. [12]) showed a good agreement.

Abstract:This paper proposes a method for decomposing heart rate fluctuations into background, respiratory and blood pressure oriented fluctuations. A signal cancellation scheme using the adaptive RLS algorithm has been introduced for canceling respiration and blood pressure oriented changes in the heart rate fluctuations. The computer simulation confirmed the validity of the proposed method. Then, heart rate fluctuations, instantaneous lung volume and blood pressure changes are simultaneously recorded from eight normal subjects aged 20-24 years. It was shown that after signal decomposition, the power spectrum of the heart rate showed a consistent monotonic 1/fa type pattern. The proposed method enables a clear interpretation of heart rate spectrum removing uncertain large individual variations due to the respiration and blood pressure change.

The objective of this research is to investigate mass transfer mechanism in biofilms under oscillatory flow conditions. Numerical simulation of turbulence near a biofilm was conducted using the low Reynold’s number k-ɛ turbulence model. Substrate transfer in biofilms under oscillatory flow conditions was assumed to be carried out by turbulent diffusion caused by fluid movement and substrate concentration profile in biofilm was calculated. An experiment was carried out to measure velocity profile near a biofilm under oscillatory flow conditions and the influence of the turbulence on substrate uptake rate by the biofilm was also measured. Measured turbulence was in good agreement with the calculated one and the influence of the turbulence on the substrate uptake rate was well explained by the simulation.

The effect of two-phase flow regime on decisive hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics of horizontal-tube gas-liquid reactors (pressure drop, liquid holdup, kLaL) was determined in a cocurrent-flow experimental unit of the length 4.15 m and diameter 0.05 m with air-water system. An adjustable-height weir was installed in the separation chamber at the reactor outlet to simulate the effect of internal baffles on reactor hydrodynamics. Flow regime maps were developed in the whole range of experimental gas and liquid flow rates both for the weirless arrangement and for the weir height 0.05 m, the former being in good agreement with flow-pattern boundaries presented by Mandhane. In the whole range of experi-mental conditions pressure drop data could be well correlated as a function of gas and liquid flow rates by an empirical exponential-type relation with specific sets of coefficients obtained for individual flow regimes from experimental data. Good agreement was observed between values of pressure drop obtained for weirless arrangement and data calculated from the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation while the contribution of weir to the overall pressure drop was well described by a relation proposed for the pressure loss in closed-end tubes. In the region of negligible weir influence values of liquid holdup were again succesfully correlated by the Lockhart-Martinelli relation while the dependence of liquid holdup data on gas and liquid flow rates obtained under conditions of significant weir effect (i.e. at low flow rates of both phases) could be well described by an empirical exponential-type relation. Results of preliminary kLaL measurements confirmed the decisive effect of the rate of energy dissipation on the intensity of interfacial mass transfer in gas-liquid dispersions.
