Integral forms of Momentum and Energy Equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the integral forms of momentum and energy equations in fluid dynamics. The momentum equation is expressed as F = d(mV)/dt = ∫∫ρ(V[dot]dS)V + ∫∫∫∂(ρV)/∂tdV, highlighting the mass flux and time rate of change of momentum. The energy equation is detailed as ∫∫∫qdotρdV - ∫∫pV[dot]dS + ∫∫∫ρ(f[dot]V)dV = ∫∫∫∂(ρ(e+V^2/2))/∂t + ∫∫ρ(e+V^2/2)V[dot]dS, incorporating terms for heat transfer, work done by pressure, and body forces. The discussion clarifies the relationship between enthalpy terms and the integral forms of energy equations.

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:
[tex]\iiint\rho\vec{v} (\vec{v}\cdot d\vec{s})[/tex]
represents the mass flux across the surface of the control volume.
[tex]\iint\dfrac{\partial (\rho\vec{v})}{\partial t}dV[/tex]
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:
[tex]\iint\dot{q}\rho\;dV[/tex]
is the rate of heat added to the control volume.
[tex]-\iint p \vec{v}\cdot d\vec{s}[/tex]
is the rate of work done on the fluid in the control volume by pressure forces.
[tex]\iiint\rho(\vec{f}\cdot\vec{v})\;dV[/tex]
is the rate of work done on the fluid in the control volume by body forces.
[tex]\iiint\dfrac{\partial}{\partial t}\left[ \rho\left( e + \dfrac{|\vec{v}|^2}{2} \right) \right]dV[/tex]
is the the time rate of change of energy inside the control volume.
[tex]\iint\rho\left( e +\dfrac{|\vec{v}|^2}{2}\right)\vec{v}\cdot d\vec{s}[/tex]
is the net energy flux across the surface of the control volume.
