Simon Bridge said:Can't tell what that is a picture of.
There seem to be three temperatures - T1 seems to be between some rectangles, T2 seems to be to one side (presumably there is a temperature gradient of some kind in there? There is an intermediate T3 which does not seem to appear anywhere.
There is a label "gas flow" apparently along a line.
You need a clearer diagram.
Simon Bridge said:What are the four blocks - cutaway of a system of pipes?
Does the interior also have gas in it or is it evacuated?
Is the system in equilibrium before the new gas is injected?
Gas already in the system will want to move away from the center (T1), but there will be some flow inwards. New gas injected at the place specified would tend to move with the ambient flow.
It "up" on the diagram is actually upwards, then the gas at T1 will prefer to exit through the top. Cool air comes in the bottom and the sides.
Not that simple.Could you just explain how the flow of gases work first? Cool moves to hot? Or is it not that simple.
Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, orderly movement of a fluid in a consistent direction. Turbulent flow, on the other hand, is characterized by chaotic movement of a fluid in different directions and velocities. Laminar flow is more common at lower velocities and in less viscous fluids, while turbulent flow is more common at higher velocities and in more viscous fluids.
Gas flow direction can greatly impact the behavior of a fluid. For example, in a closed system, gas flowing in one direction can create a pressure gradient that causes the fluid to flow in the opposite direction. Additionally, changes in gas flow direction can result in changes in the speed and turbulence of the fluid, which can impact its overall dynamics and efficiency.
The direction of gas flow is influenced by a variety of factors, including pressure differentials, temperature differentials, gravity, and external forces such as fans or pumps. Other factors, such as the shape and size of the fluid container, can also impact the direction of gas flow.
Understanding gas flow direction is important in a variety of industries and research fields. For example, in the automotive industry, studying gas flow direction is crucial for designing more efficient engines. In the medical field, it is important for understanding the flow of gases in the respiratory system. It is also relevant in fields such as meteorology, aerodynamics, and chemical engineering.
Gas flow direction can be controlled or manipulated through various methods, such as using valves or fans to change the pressure or direction of the gas. Changing the temperature or adding obstructions in the path of the gas can also alter its direction. In some cases, fluid dynamics simulations can also be used to predict and control gas flow direction in complex systems.
