Chapter 15, Problem 1CP

A CFD code is used to solve a two-dimensional (x and y), incompressible, laminar flow without free surfaces. The fluid is Newtonian. Appropriate boundary conditions e used. List the variables (unknowns) in the problem, and list the corresponding equations to be solved by the computer.

The list of variables and corresponding equation used to solve on the computer.

Explanation of Solution

According to the data given in question for an incompressible Newtonian laminar flow fluid with no free surface. The unknown quantity present in the Stokes flow equation are u, v and P.

The corresponding equation for the given flow condition is continuity of Navier-Stokes equation. The other equation is: -

  1. X- component of Navier-Stokes equation
  2. Y-component of Navier-Stokes equation

Navier-Stokes equation in Cartesian co-ordinate system is given as:

x-component:

  ρ(ut+uux+vuy+wuz)=Px+μ2u

y-component of Navier-Stokes equation:

  ρ(vt+uvx+vvy+wvz)=Py+μ2v

z-component:

  ρ(wt+uwx+vwy+wwz)=Pz+μ2w

Now,

During, non-dimensionalization a modified pressure is introduced. This helps in absorbing the hydrostatic pressure. It is defined as:

  P=P+ρgz

Here,

P is pressure,

  P′ is modified pressure

Z is the vertical direction vector

  ρ is the density of fluid

When these equations are combined with appropriate boundary condition the problem can be solved.

A very thin metallic sheet is placed between two wood plates of different thicknesses. Theplates are firmly pressed together and electricity is passed through the sheet. The exposed surfaces ofthe two plates lose heat to the ambient fluid by convection. Assume uniform heating at the interface.Neglect end effects and assume steady state.[a] Will the heat transfer through the two plates be the same? Explain.[b] Will the exposed surfaces be at the same temperature? Explain
Design consideration requires that the surface of a small electronic package be maintained at atemperature not to exceed 82 o C. Noise constraints rule out the use of fans. The power dissipated inthe package is 35 watts and the surface area is 520 cm2 . The ambient temperature and surroundingwalls are assumed to be at 24 o C. The heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 9.2 W/m2- oC andsurface emissivity is 0.7. Will the package dissipate the required power without violating designconstraints?
Consider radiation from a small surface at 100 oC which is enclosed by a much larger surface at24 o C. Determine the percent increase in the radiation heat transfer if the temperature of the smallsurface is doubled.
