Area averaging is one of the techniques used to solve problems encountered in the transport of momentum, heat, and mass. The application of this technique simplifies the mathematical solution of the problem. However, it necessitates expressing the local value of the dependent variable and/or its derivative(s) on the system boundaries in terms of the averaged variable. In this study, these expressions are obtained by the two-point Hermite expansion and this approximate method is applied to some specific problems, such as, unsteady flow in a concentric annulus, unequal cooling of a long slab, unsteady conduction in a cylindrical rod with internal heat generation, diffusion of a solute into a slab from limited volume of a well-mixed solution, convective mass transport between two parallel plates with a wall reaction, convective mass transport in a cylindrical tube with a wall reaction, and unsteady conduction in a two -layer composite slab. Comparison of the analytical and approximate solutions is shown to be in good agreement for a wide range of dimensionless parameters characterizing each system.

MOTION OF A CIRCULATING POWER-LAW DROP TRANSLATING THROUGH NEWTONIAN FLUIDS AT INTERMEDIATE REYNOLDS NUMBERS
Gürkan, Türker (Informa UK Limited, 1989-6)
The equations of motion for the flow of a power-law fluid sphere in a Newtonian continuous phase have been approximately satisfied by Galerkin's method: External and internal stream functions have been obtained for the following ranges of variables: 10-50 for Re0, 0.1-1000 for the viscosity ratio parameters, X, and 0.6-1.0 for the dispersed phase power-law index, ni,. It is predicted that pseudoplasticity in the dispersed phase causes a reduction in the circulation within the drop and that it has a minor ef...
The method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for Nongray media experimental
Çayan, Fatma Nihan; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
A radiation code based on method of lines (MOL) solution of discrete ordinates method (DOM) for the prediction of radiative heat transfer in nongray absorbing-emitting media was developed by incorporation of two different gas spectral radiative property models, namely wide band correlated-k (WBCK) and spectral line-based weighted sum of gray gases (SLW) models. Predictive accuracy and computational efficiency of the developed code were assessed by applying it to the predictions of source term distributions ...
Mathematical modeling of fluidized bed combustors with radiation model
Alagöz, Düriye Ece; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
Simultaneous solution of the conservation equations for energy and chemical species in conjunction with radiative transfer equation was carried out by coupling a previously developed and tested system model of fluidized bed combustion (FBC) to an existing radiation model. The predictive accuracy of the coupled code was assessed by applying it to 0.3 MWt METU Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) Test Rig burning lignite in its own ash and comparing its predictions with the measured temperatur...
Numerical simulation of radiating flows
Karaismail, Ertan; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
Predictive accuracy of the previously developed coupled code for the solution of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the radiative transfer equation was first assessed by applying it to the prediction of thermally radiating, hydrodynamically developed laminar pipe flow for which the numerical solution had been reported in the literature. The effect of radiation on flow and temperature fields was demonstrated for different values of conduction to radiation ratio. It was found that ...
Detecting stability of conical spouted beds based on information entropy theory
Savari, Chiya; Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Rahmat; Külah, Görkem; KÖKSAL, MURAT; Mostoufi, Navid (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01)
Effects of particle size, particle density, gas inlet diameter and static bed height on the stability of operation in conical spouted beds were investigated through analyses of information entropy of pressure fluctuations. In this respect, the maximum information entropy of pressure fluctuations was used as a stability criterion. The results showed that stability of the bed increases with an increase in the maximum entropy. The maximum information entropy of pressure fluctuations increases with increasing p...
