Differential formulation of governing equations

Jump to: navigation, search

The microscopic (differential) formulations to be presented here include conservation equations and jump conditions. The former apply within a particular phase, and the latter are valid at the interface that separates two phases. The phase equations for a particular phase should be the same as those for a single-phase system. Most textbooks (e.g., White, 1991; Incropera and DeWitt, 2001; Bejan, 2004; Kays et al., 2004) obtain the governing equations for a single-phase system by performing mass, momentum, and energy balances for a microscopic control volume. We will obtain the conservation equations by using the integral equations for a finite control volume that includes only one phase. Jump conditions at the interface will be obtained by applying the conservation laws at the interfaces.

Entropy Equation

For a multicomponent system without internal heat generation (q''' = 0), the entropy flux vector and the entropy generation are

{\mathbf{s''}} = \frac{1}{T}\left( {{\mathbf{q''}} - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {{h_i}{{\mathbf{J}}_i}} } \right)
T{\dot s'''_{gen}} =  - \left( {{\mathbf{q''}} - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {{h_i}{{\mathbf{J}}_i}} } \right) \cdot \nabla \ln T - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {\left( {{{\mathbf{J}}_i} \cdot \frac{{c{R_u}T}}{{{\rho _i}}}{{\mathbf{d}}_i}} \right)}  - {\mathbf{\tau }}:\nabla {\mathbf{V}} - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {\frac{{{{\bar g}_i}}}{{{M_i}}}{{\dot m'''}_i}}
