3005-G016 Transport Processes Problem Sheet 2012

The document provides two problems related to transport processes and properties. The first problem asks to estimate the viscosity and thermal conductivity of carbon tetrachloride vapour at 100 and 300°C using three prediction methods and compare them to experimental values. The second problem asks to derive the velocity profile equation for a Newtonian liquid in a pipe using the Navier-Stokes equations as a wire is drawn through it, and then calculate the force required given properties of the pipe, wire and liquid flow.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CENG3006/CENGG016: TRANSPORT PROCESSES PROBLEM SHEET Provide solutions to both questions by 12 noon on Friday 23 March 2012

PART (i) Estimation of transport properties


1.

Estimate the viscosity and thermal conductivity of carbon tetrachloride vapour at (i) 100 and (ii) 300C (both at atmospheric pressure). Compare the values obtained from three prediction methods that are available. Experimental values given by Reid et al. (1977):

125C 200C 300C

= = =

133P 156P 190P

k0C = 14.2cal/cm s K k100C = 20.5cal/cm s K k184C = 26.0cal/cm s K

PART (ii) Applications of the Navier-Stokes equations A horizontal pipe of circular cross-section and radius R is filled with a Newtonian liquid of viscosity . A continuous wire, radius kR (k<1) is drawn along the pipe axis at velocity V.
2.

Using the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations derive an equation for the velocity profile in the liquid. Neglect any end effects. If the pipe is 1m long, k = 10-1, = 10-1 Pa s and V = 1m/s, calculate the force required to draw the wire through the liquid.
