Tutorial/HW Week #8

WRF Chapter 23; WWWR Chapters 25-26


ID Chapter 14
• Tutorial #8
• WWWR #25.6, #25.11, #
25.13, #26.4.
• To be discussed on March
20, 2018 through IVLE
webcast.
• By either volunteer or
class list.
Special Forms
• Combining the flux equation with the
continuity equation,
n A   DAB A   A n A  n B 
 A
   DAB A     A v   rA  0

t
• Assuming constant  and DAB, we get
c A
v  c A   DAB c A  RA

• Additionally, if there are no reactions, then
c A
 v  c A  DAB 2 c A

or
Dc A
 D AB c A

Dt
• And if there is also no fluid motion, v = 0,
c A
 DAB c A

t
Which is Fick’s second law of diffusion

• For steady state process, constant  and


DAB,

v  c A  DAB c A  RA
2
With no chemical reaction and no fluid
flow, becomes

 cA  0
2

which is the Laplace equation for molar


concentration.
Initial and Boundary Conditions
• Initial condition: e.g. t = 0, CA=CA0.

• Boundary condition:
• (a) The concentration of the transferring
species A at a boundary is specified.
• (b) A reacting surface boundary is specified.
