  2. CONSERVATION OF SPECIES • Each specie that enters a flow system does not disappear. It may interact with others, may accumulate in the system or it comes out. A specie is a specific type of fluid in a flowing mixture – eg water, air, oil, glycerine mixture will have each of these as species System boundary e.g. pipe DIFFERENT SPECIES ENTERING SYSTEM SPECIES COMING OUT OF SYSTEM SPECIE IN = SPECIE OUT + RETAINED SPECIE SOME OF THE SPECIES MAY REMAIN IN SYSTEM TO MAKE IT GROW KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

  3. CONSERVATION OF SPECIES - examples 1 kg/min salt out • Steady flow – means no retention of species in system and all fluid properties at a given point remain constant with time. e.g. salty water flowing steadily in a pipe: • Interacting sub species make bigger species but the components still remain conserved: FIGURE 9.2: STEADY FLOW OF 10% SALT SOLUTION THROUGH PIPE: Species ‘water’ and ‘salt’ are conserved 10 kg/min Water in 1 kg/min salt in 10 kg/min Water out KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

The lines or curves formed are called PATH LINES STREAK LINE KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

  5. VELOCITY PROFILES • Fluid particles in contact with solid surface adhere; so NO relative motion w.r.t. surface • Velocity of others increases as distance from surface increases (Newton’s law of viscosity) • Velocity is maximum, ‘v’max at centre of circular pipe • Average fluid velocity ‘v’ is less than maximum value KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

  6. V Gentle flow: High viscosity, Vmax = 2V Fluid out Q = VA Fluid in Q = VA Vmax V Turbulent Flow: Vmax = 1.222V Fluid in Q = VA Fluid out Q = VA Vmax FIGURE 8.2: Particle Velocity distribution for Lamina (Gentle) and Turbulent flow: Note V = average velocity = Q/A KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

  7. LAMINA AND TURBULENT FLOW (I) • These describe nature of flow depending on whether it is gentle or turbulent • In gentle flow, stream, streak and path lines coincide. • In turbulent flow, path lines can cross stream and streak lines. • Nature depends on ratio of inertia to viscous forces within the fluid: Inertia forces – depend on: density (ρ); average velocity (V); and pipe diameter (d). Viscous forces – depend on: dynamic viscosity (µ) Big inertia leads to TURBULENCE because fluid particles hesitate to change their random motion Big viscosity leads to gentle or lamina flow because influence of other fluid particles is big Ratio of INERTIA to VISCOUS forces gives a dimensionless number called REYNOLD’s number (Re) – after the scientist who first documented his investigations on nature of flow. Re = INERTIA forces/VISCOUS forces : (8.1) KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

  8. LAMINA AND TURBULENT FLOW (II) When do we get Lamina and when do we get Turbulent flow? • Not a clear-cut point because there is always a TRANSITION. In the transition, lamina flow can change to turbulent flow abruptly • Transition generally is between Re of 2000 and 5000; But a recent paper reported lamina flow at Re = 100,000! • Older texts report a cut-off point of 2300 but a student in our lab reported turbulence at Re = 1900. • So, assume the following for now: Lamina : Re<< 2000 (the lower, the better) Transition: 2000 < Re < 5000 Turbulent: Re >> 5000 (the higher, the more definite) KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles

  9. LAMINA AND TURBULENT FLOW (III) Some applications – • Most flows in nature – especially of gases and vapours are TURBULENT (Question: Why?) • In some industrial applications especially on mixing of immiscible liquids with/without solids, it is desirable to create conditions for lamina flow after a turbulent dispersion of one in the other. Questions: • Air is blown in a 30 cm diameter pipe at a rate of 5 m3/s to airlift tobacco in a Green Leaf threshing plant. Using the air properties at 20oC provided in weeks 2 and 3, calculate the Reynolds's number and determine the nature of flow • Glycerine is used in manufacture of a number of cosmetic products. In one process, it is being fed continuously into a mixer at a rate of 5 litres every hour through a 10 mm diameter nozzle. Using the properties provided in weeks 2 and 3, determine the nature of this flow. What will happen if it is fed when hot, say at 70oC? KK's FLM 221: Week9: Conservation principles
