MOLECULAR TRANSPORT

Convective Transport

Convective Transport
◎ Convective transport occurs due to the bulk motion of the fluid (macro
scale flow).
◎ Driven by external forces (e.g., pressure gradients, mechanical pumps) or
natural buoyancy forces in the fluid.
◎ Essential in processes like heat exchangers, mixing tanks, air
conditioning systems, and fluid flow in pipes.
◎ Described by the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid motion, coupled with
diffusion or conduction terms.

Solution to problem-1
Some Assumption:
1.The fluid behaves as a continuum
2. Steady state flow
3. The flow is laminar and rectilinear or moving in a straight line
4. The fluid is Newtonian
5. Density and viscosity are constant and no temperature variation
6. Entrance and exit effects are not considered
7. No slip at wall
8. There is uniform pressure over the fluid surface
9. There are no velocity component in x or y direction, vx =vy=0
10. vz is function of x only, vz =f(x)
11.The flow is incompressible
