Title: Unsteady coupled high flux-mass, momentum transfer with a moving boundary

Abstract

The simultaneous transient developing mass and momentum boundary layers in a moving wall problem resulting from the flow of a fluid through a channel with dissolving walls is calculated. The numerical solution incorporates the vorticity-stream function procedure adapted to equations which are neither Lagrangian nor Eulerian. It is established that using conventional equations for high-flux problems results in error. The results give the channel shape as a function of time. A numerical procedure is used to determine the simultaneous development of the mass and momentum boundary layers from the flow of fluid through a channel having dissolving walls.

  • In all previous treatments of thermophoretically-modified aerosol particle transport, even those which attempt to allow for variable host-gas properties, it has been explicitly (or implicitly) assumed that the particle mass fraction is small enough to neglect the influence of the suspended particles on the host-gas momentum-density- and energy-density-fields. However, in high-intensity material-processing applications, particle mass loadings often exceed 1/3, and the thermophoretically enhanced particle mass-deposition flux itself modifies the local-mixture velocity and temperature fields in the vicinity of the deposition surface. A self-consistent pseudo- single-phase mixture (diffusion) approximation which exploits the fact that the volume fraction of suspended particles ismore » negligible even when the particle mass fraction is quite near unity is introduced to calculate the fully coupled problem of mass-, energy- and momentum diffusion for laminar boundary (LBL) flow of a combustion-gas mixture containing submicron particles of appreciable thermophoretic diffusivity but negligible Brownian diffusion. It is shown that thigh particles mass loading systematically increase the wall fluxes of momentum (shear stress), heat and particle mass, much like those effects associated with massive suction in single-phase LBL-theory.« less

  • Knowledge of the motion of the two-phase fuel bubble following a Hypothetical Core Disruptive Accident (HCDA) in a Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) is important from the standpoint of radiological risk assessment. The goal of this work is the analytical modeling of current two-phase expansion experiments in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat, mass, and momentum transfer mechanisms which influence bubble motion. Equations governing axial motion of the bubble are proposed. The axial forces which are considered are buoyancy, free and rigid surface effects, and drag. Heat and mass transfer from the two-phase fuel bubble ismore » modelled using the UVABUBL computer code. Radiation heat transfer is assumed to be the primary mechanism for heat loss from the bubble. Heating of the vapor-coolant interface and entrained droplets results in vaporization of the coolant once it has been heated to the saturation temperature. Thermodynamic equilibrium is assumed to exist in the two-phase, multicomponent mixture within the bubble.« less

  • In the present work, the high spin ..gamma..-decay properties of evaporation residues from the reaction /sup 28/Si + /sup 54/Fe are being studied as a function of the bombarding energy (75 less than or equal to E/sub L/(/sup 28/Si) less than or equal to 145 MeV). The evaporation residues at zero degrees are identified according to their mass with Rochester's Recoil Mass-Spectrometer (RMS). The RMS serves as a mass gate for a multidetector system consisting of an array of ten 3'' x 3'' and two 6'' x 6'' NaI detectors capable of determining the moments of the ..gamma..-multiplicity distribution andmore » continuum ..gamma..-energy spectra. Limits for the continuum ..gamma..-spectroscopy studies of masses 80 and 79 are found at bombarding energies above which the average ..gamma..-multiplicity saturates. The effect, for mass 80, is also corroborated from the observed continuum ..gamma.. spectra. The bombarding energy dependence of the first three multiplicity moments, for masses 80, 79, and 78, is shown to be independent of the entrance channel from similar measurements performed on the reaction /sup 24/Mg + /sup 58/Ni. The study of the first reaction is complemented with a measurement of the evaporation residue cross sections in a wide energy range (72.5 less than or equal to E/sub L/(/sup 28/Si) less than or equal to 130 MeV). The above experimental data are compared to the predictions of the statistical evaporation codes PACE2 and CASCADE.« less

  • The Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment E99-114 comprised a series of measurements to explore proton Compton scattering at high momentum transfer. For the first time, the polarisation transfer observables in the p (more » $$\vec{γ}$$, γ' \vec{p}$) reaction were measured in the GeV energy range, where it is believed that quark-gluon degrees of freedom begin to dominate. The experiment utilised a circularly polarised photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target, with the scattered photon and recoil proton detected in a lead-glass calorimeter and a magnetic spectrometer, respectively.« less
