TRANSPORT PHENOMENA Flashcards
the study of the movement of different physical
quantities in any chemical or biochemical process
Transport Phenomena
consists of the basic principles and laws of transport
Transport Phenomena
+ describes the relations and similarities among different
types of transport that may occur in any system
Transport Phenomena
encompasses the subjects of momentum transfer or fluid
mechanics, mass and energy, or heat transfer processes:
Transport phenomena
- Deals with the transport of momentum in fluids
Momentum transport/Fluid Dynamics
Deals with the transport of different forms of energy in a system
Energy or Heat Transport/Heat Transfer
- Deals with the transport of various chemical species themselves
Mass Transport/Mass Transfer
blood circulation in the body, mixing phenomena in bioreactors
MOMENTRA
sterilization of reactors, temperature control in bioreactors
HETRA
oxygen transport from bubbles to aerobic microorganisms
MATRA
Transport can be studied in 3 levels
Macroscopic
Microscopic
Molecular
The basic equations of transport phenomena
are derived based on the following axioms:/GOVERNING EQUATIONS
equation of continuity
equation of motion
equation of thermal energy
The equation of continuity is based on the
conservation
of mass
The equation of motion is based on the
conservation of
momentum (Newtonβs second law)
The equation of thermal energy is based on
conservation of energy
Rate of Transport process =
Driving force/Resistance
the factor that will make the transfer occur
Driving force
DF includes velocity gradient (microscopic or molecular)
or velocity difference (macroscopic)
MOMENTUM TRANSPORT
DF includes temperature gradient (microscopic or
molecular) or temperature difference (macroscopic)
ENERGY OR HEAT TRANSFER
, DF includes concentration gradient (microscopic or molecular)
or concentration difference (macroscopic)
MASS TRANSPORT
the factor that will slow down the transport process
rESISTANCE
When does the driving force become negligible?
The system reaches equilibrium
T/F: Transport phenomena may occur within a single
phase or between multiple phases
T
In the bioprocessing industry, the flow of fluid* occurs
mostly through the
PIPING
Fluid flow involves two (2) distinct regimes, which largely
depend on the physical properties of the fluids:
LAMINAR
TURBULENT
The two regimes of fluid flow largely depend on?
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE FLUID
viscous flow, streamline
LAMINAR FLOW
Involves the flow of the fluid particles only in a single
direction
LAMINAR FLOW
The components of velocity are either negligible or not
present in the other directions
LAMINAR FLOW
Mainly due to the motion of the fluid particle clusters
TURBULENT FLOW
T/F: Fluid flow is in one direction, generally
T
due to the associated _____, the layers of
fluid right under the top layer also ____ momentum and move
accordingly.
inertia, gain
At steady state, the bottommost layer of fluid adhering to
the bottom stationary plate will have ____ velocity
zero
suppose that topmost layer of fluid
(adhering to the plate) has a velocity π’0, how will the velocity
distribution/profile look like across the layers?
velocity distribution is linear
