Energy Balance and Heat Transport Analysis

The document discusses the derivation of energy balance equations using internal energy and enthalpy, applying principles from thermodynamics. It includes problems related to temperature profiles in thermal systems, heat transport, and the effects of convection and porous plates. Additionally, it introduces non-dimensional numbers relevant to heat and momentum transport, such as the Prandtl number and Reynolds number.

3. Let us now consider an example where some form of convection is also present.
An infinite wire of constant density pis moving in the downward direction at a
constant speed v into avery large liquid bath maintained at a constant temperature
To. Far upstream(as Z -’ o) the wire has a temperature T=To. Assuming that
the liquid bath is at the level z =0, and the wire in contact with the liquid bath has
the same temperature 1o, obtain the temperature profile in the wire. Neglect any
heat transport in the radial direction in the wire, which may be assumed to be
sufficiently thin.

units of diffusivity, namely, v =u/p- the momentum diffusivity. Often, in problems
involving competing momentum and heat transport mechanisms, one mayencounter

piates are porous. The iower plate is to be maintained at atemperature T=T,

lower plate, agas is blown at a constant velocity v through the pores in the
upwarddirection. Obtain an expression for the temperature distribution between
the two plates. Solve by non-dimensional analysis. You can non-dimensionalize
