1-D single-phase, compressible flow
• Consider a mass balance about the small box shown
in Fig.1A The box has length ∆x; the left face has area
A(x), the right face has area A(x+∆x). The rate at
which fluid mass enters the box at the left face is
given by:
• Dividing by ∆x gives:
1-D Single-phase, Compressible Flow…
• Taking the limit as ∆x → 0 (and noting that a
derivative is defined by a limit):
• Similarly, fluid mass leaves the box at the right face at the
rate:
2-D REV
2-D Single-phase, Compressible Flow…
• Fluid enters the front face at the rate:
• (1-29)
• which arises in the theory of diffusion, conduction of
heat, and in electrical conduction (in purely resistive
material). Here, k is the diffusivity or the thermal (or
electrical) conductivity.
TYPES OF SECOND-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS…
• Elliptic equations
• Laplace’s equation, 2u = 0, and
• Poisson’s equation, 2u = f (x, y, z),
• are the simplest of the elliptic equations. They arise in
electrostatic and magnetic field theory and in
hydrodynamics of incompressible fluids.
• Hyperbolic equations
• The prototype hyperbolic equation is the wave equation,
• (1-30)
• (1-31)
• (1-32)
