Dispersion and diffusion in coated tubes of arbitrary cross-section
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine a numerical technique developed to simulate unsteady dispersion and diffusion in coated tubes of arbitrary but axially-constant cross-section. The method is validated against analytical asymptotic solutions produced for tubes of circular section, then applied to the study of dispersion in equivalent tubes of square section, coated on one, two, three or four walls, and in a family of tubes of rectangular section, again with stationary phase coating on one wall. The results show that both the sectional geometry and coating regime have a profound influence on the axial dispersion, and hence on the efficiency of associated chromatography. For rectangular-sectioned columns with single-wall coating, the greatest separation efficiency results when the coating is applied to one of the longer segments of the cross-sectional perimeter.

Taylor-Aris dispersion in high aspect ratio columns of nearly rectangular cross section
We consider Taylor-Aris dispersion in columns of nearly rectangular cross section of large aspect ratio. We generalize the results of [1] and [2] who showed that the effective diffusion rate for perfectly rectangular cross sections is remarkably different than the diffusion rate between two parallel plates – as the aspect ratio goes to infinity, the effective diffusion rate does not approach th...
متن کاملAn approximate model for slug flow heat transfer in channels of arbitrary cross section
In this paper, a novel approximate solution to determine the Nusselt number for thermally developed, slug (low-prandtl), laminar, single phase flow in channels of arbitrary cross section is presented. Using the Saint-Venant principle in torsion of beams, it is shown that the thermally developed Nusselt number for low-prandtl flow is only a function of the geometrical parameters of the channel c...

Material properties and geometry are two important design parameters which their effects should be considered in a crashworthiness analysis. In this paper, the axial impact of metallic and hybrid energy absorbing thin-walled tubes with poly-gonal cross-section is simulated using LS-DYNA software. The combined effects of changing the geometry and material properties on the mass specific energ...

Impact is one of very important subjects which always have been considered in mechanical science. Nature of impact is such that which makes its control a hard task. Therefore it is required to present the transfer of impact to other vulnerable part of a structure, when it is necessary, one of the best method of absorbing energy of impact, is by using Thin-walled tubes these tubes collapses unde...
