EQE-718 Fenômenos de Transporte Avançados

Profa. Tania S. Klein


Lista 1
(entrega em 12/05/2023)

1) What is meant by the analogy between mass transfer, momentum transfer, and
heat transfer?

2) Write the three molecular transport equations and discuss the meaning of, and
units for, each term in the equations.

3) Mass transfer has a complication that does not exist in heat transfer. Discuss!

4) Momentum transfer has a complication that does not exist in either mass or
heat transfer. Discuss!

5) Three parallel flat plates are separated by two fluids. Plate 1 (on the bottom) is
at rest. Water, viscosity 0.8007cP at 30oC, lies between plates 1 and 2. Toluene,
viscosity 0.5179cP at 3OoC, lies between plates 2 and 3. The distance between each
pair of plates is 10 cm. Plate 3 moves at 3 m/s. Find:
(a) the velocity of plate 2 at steady-state;
(b) the force per unit area on plate 3 required to maintain the 3 m/s velocity;

6) Two cylinders of different materials are brought into contact as shown in Fig.
2.15. Cylinder 1 is 2m long with cross sectional area of 0.03 m2 and thermal
conductivity 0.7 W/mK. Cylinder 2 is 3 m long with cross sectional area of 0.04 m2 and
thermal conductivity 1.2 W/mK. The temperatures at each end of the apparatus are
280 (T1) and 310K (T3), as shown in Fig. 2.15. Find the temperature T2 at the point
where the two cylinders are joined.
7) A conditioning room has an atmosphere of air with a 30 mole percent CO2
concentration. Outside of the room, the concentration of CO2, is very small, however,
there is a hole in the wall. The pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 25°C. Under
these conditions, the diffusivity of CO2, in air is 0.164 x 10-4 m2/s. The hole is 10 cm in
diameter, and the wall is 30 cm thick. Determine:
(a) the amount of CO2 that exits the room (kmol/h)
(b) the amount of air that enters the room (kg/h)

8) Consider a rectangular piece of iron (k = 80.2 W/mK, ρ = 7870 kg/m3, cp=447


J/kgK), insulated in both y and z directions; the distance between face 1 and face 2 is
1.5 m; the other dimensions of the rectangle are 0.5 m and 0.02 m. An electric current
is passed through the iron, thus generating 4.0 J/s, while the fluxes at faces 1 and 2 are
held constant at -2941 J/m2s and -2643 J/m2s, respectively. At time zero, the
temperature of face 2 is 320 K.
(a) Find the rate of accumulation in J/s.
(b) Find the equation for the temperature profile and determine the temperature at
face 1 at time-zero and after 104 s.

9) Given two incompressible-flow components Ux and Uy, find the most general
form of the third component Uz (x, y, z) that satisfies the Equation of Continuity.

10) A fluid flows into a channel through an entrance in such a way that its velocity
distribution is uniform across the opening to the entrance. From this point the velocity
profile changes gradually downstream, to that for fully developed flow, such as a
parabolic profile for laminar flow. Using the Equation of Continuity:
(a) Show whether there is a y component of velocity in the entrance region.
(b) Show whether there is a y component of velocity in the fully-developed region
where the velocity Ux, is not a function of x, which is the direction of flow down the
channel.A
