Integral forms of Momentum and Energy Equations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the integral forms of momentum and energy equations, clarifying the terms involved. The momentum equation expresses force as the sum of mass flux and the time rate of change of momentum within a control volume. Confusion arises regarding how the term for the change in velocity is represented in the integral form. The energy equation incorporates heat transfer, work done by pressure forces, and body forces, with a query about the representation of enthalpy in the integral terms. Overall, the conversation seeks to understand the relationship between these integral forms and their physical interpretations.

Hi

I was reading a book that introduced momentum and energy in integral forms and I had some confusion regarding what the terms meant. All integrals below are closed integrals

For the momentum equation, the result was:

F = d(mV)/dt = ∫∫ρ(V[dot]dS)V + ∫∫∫∂(ρV)/∂tdV

From product rule, d(mV)/dt = dm/dt*V + mdV/dt. I can see how dm/dt*V is reflected in ∫∫ρ(V[dot]dS)V but I do not see how mdV/dt is reflected in ∫∫∫∂(ρV)\∂tdV?

For the energy equation, the result was:

∫∫∫qdotρdV - ∫∫pV[dot]dS + ∫∫∫ρ(f[dot]V)dV = ∫∫∫∂(ρ(e+V^2/2))/∂t + ∫∫ ρ(e+V^2/2)V[dot]dS. p is pressure, e is specific internal energy, f is body force per unit mass
, V is velocity, and qdot is heat transfer per unit mass

from another book, another form of this equation was:

Qdot - Wdot = dEcv/dt + mdotout (hout+V^2/2) - mdotin (hout+V^2/2)

I'm basically wondering, is the mdot*h (the enthalpy term) reflected in the terms ∫∫ ρ(e+V^2/2)V and ∫∫pV[dot]dS or in other words is mdot*(e + V^2/2)-> ∫∫ ρ(e+V^2/2)V and mdot*p*v -> ∫∫pV[dot]dS?

Thanks

In the momentum equation, the terms are as follows:
\iiint\rho\vec{v} (\vec{v}\cdot d\vec{s})
represents the mass flux across the surface of the control volume.
\iint\dfrac{\partial (\rho\vec{v})}{\partial t}dV
is the time rate of change of momentum in the control volume. Usually there is also a body force term and a surface force term (pressure and viscosity if you are doing viscous flows).

For your energy equation, the terms are as follows:
\iint\dot{q}\rho\;dV
is the rate of heat added to the control volume.
-\iint p \vec{v}\cdot d\vec{s}
is the rate of work done on the fluid in the control volume by pressure forces.
\iiint\rho(\vec{f}\cdot\vec{v})\;dV
is the rate of work done on the fluid in the control volume by body forces.
\iiint\dfrac{\partial}{\partial t}\left[ \rho\left( e + \dfrac{|\vec{v}|^2}{2} \right) \right]dV
is the the time rate of change of energy inside the control volume.
\iint\rho\left( e +\dfrac{|\vec{v}|^2}{2}\right)\vec{v}\cdot d\vec{s}
is the net energy flux across the surface of the control volume.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
