REYNOLD’S TRANSPORT THEOREM
This relation, known as Reynolds’s transport theorem.
The rate of change of N for a given mass as it is moving around
is equal to the rate of change of N inside the control volume plus
the net efflux (flow out minus flow in) of N from the control
volume.
It can be interpreted in words as:

CONSERVATION OF MASS
If we observe a given quantity of mass as it moves around, we
can say by definition that the mass will remain fixed. Another
way of stating this is that the material derivative of the mass is
zero:
d(mass)
=0
dt
This is the continuity equation for a control mass.
What corresponding expression can we write for a control volume?
If N represents the total mass, η is the mass per unit mass, or 1.
Substitution into equation (1) yields

For steady flow, any partial derivative with respect to time is
zero and the equation becomes

Let us now evaluate the remaining integral for the case of one-
dimensional flow. Figure below shows fluid crossing a portion
of the control surface. Recall that for one dimensional flow any
fluid property will be constant over an entire cross section.
Thus both the density and the velocity can be brought out from
under the integral sign. If the surface is always chosen
perpendicular to V , the integral is very simple to evaluate:
cs cs

ρ(V. n)dA = ρ(V. n) dA = ρVA

This integral must be evaluated over the entire control surface, which yields

This summation is taken over all sections where fluid crosses the control surface
and is positive where fluid leaves the control volume (since is positive

MOMENTUM EQUATION
If we observe the motion of a given quantity of mass, Newton’s second law tells us
that its linear momentum will be changed in direct proportion to the applied forces.
This is expressed by the following equation:
c

F =
g dt

Again, the question is: What corresponding expression can we write for a control
volume?
If we let N be the linear momentum of the system, η represents the momentum per
unit mass, which is V. Substitution into equation (1) yields

This equation is usually called the momentum or momentum flux
equation. The ∑ F represents the summation of all forces on the
fluid within the control volume
In the event that one-dimensional flow exists, the last integral in
equation (14) is easy to evaluate, as ρ and V are constant over any
given cross section. If we choose the surface A perpendicular to the
velocity, then

The summation is taken over all sections where fluid crosses
the control surface and is positive where fluid leaves the control
volume and negative where fluid enters the control volume.
If we now consider steady flow, the term involving the partial
derivative with respect to time is zero. Thus for steady one-
dimensional flow, the momentum equation for a control volume
becomes •

This is the form of the equation for a finite control volume.
What assumptions have been fed into this equation? In using this
relation one must be sure to:
1. Identify the control volume.
2. Include all forces acting on the fluid inside the control volume.
3. Be extremely careful with the signs of all quantities.

VELOCITY OF SOUND & MACH NUMBER
A pressure disturbance propagates through a compressible fluid with a
velocity dependent upon the state of the fluid. The velocity with which this
pressure wave moves through the fluid is called the velocity of sound, or
the sonic velocity.
SPEED OF SOUND
If M <1 flow is subsonic , M =1 flow is sonic and for M >1 flow
is supersonic

 To accelerate subsonic flow, the nozzle flow area must first decrease in the flow
direction. The flow area reaches a minimum at the point where the Mach number
is unity. To continue to accelerate the flow to supersonic conditions, the flow
area must increase.
 The minimum flow area is called the throat of the nozzle.
 We are most familiar with the shape of a subsonic nozzle. That is, the flow area
in a subsonic nozzle decreases in the flow direction.
 A diffuser is a device that decreases fluid velocity while causing its pressure to
rise; thus, d < 0, dP > 0.

To diffuse supersonic flow, the diffuser flow area must first decrease in the flow

increase.
We are most familiar with the shape of a subsonic diffuser. That is the flow area in a
subsonic diffuser increases in the flow direction.

 Consider a fluid flowing into a diffuser at a velocity , temperature T, pressure P,
and enthalpy h, etc. Here the ordinary properties T, P, h, etc. are called the static
properties; that is, they are measured relative to the flow at the flow velocity.
 The diffuser is sufficiently long and the exit area is sufficiently large that the
fluid is brought to rest (zero velocity) at the diffuser exit while no work or heat
transfer is done. The resulting state is called the stagnation state.
We apply the first law per unit mass for one entrance, one exit, and neglect the
potential energies.

EFFECT OF FRICTION
 The effects of nozzle friction are
• Reduction in enthalpy drop
• Reheating of steam i.e improving the quality of vapour at
the exit
• Reduction in exit velocity
• Increase in specific volume
• Decrease in mass flow rate
42
NOZZLE PERFORMANCE
Nozzle efficiency is defined as:
“ The ratio of the actual enthalpy drop to the isentropic enthalpy drop
between the same pressures.”
 Due to friction between
• the fluid and the walls of the nozzle
• within the fluid itself
the expansion process is irreversible although still approximately adiabatic.
 In nozzle design:
• all the calculations are based on isentropic flow.
• and then we make friction allowance by using a co efficient or an
efficiency.
For steam flowing through a nozzle, its final velocity for a given pressure
drop is reduces due to:

Choked Flow
 The pressure ratio that makes the mass flow rate a maximum is the
same pressure ratio at which the Mach number is unity at the flow
cross-sectional area.
 This value of the pressure ratio is called the critical pressure ratio
for nozzle flow. (For air it is 0.528)
 For pressure ratios less than the critical value, the nozzle is said to
be choked.
 When the nozzle is choked, the mass flow rate is the maximum
possible for the flow area, stagnation pressure, and stagnation
temperature.
 Reducing the pressure ratio below the critical value will not
increase the mass flow rate.
Assuming ideal gas behaviour, steady-state choked
flow occurs when the downstream pressure falls
below a critical value. That critical value can be
calculated from the dimensionless critical pressure
ratio equation

DIFFUSER PERFORMANCE
 Although the common use of nozzle efficiency makes this parameter well
understood by all engineers, there is no single parameter that is
universally employed for diffusers.
 For a definition of diffuser efficiency analogous to that of a nozzle, we
recall that the function of a diffuser is to convert kinetic energy into
pressure energy; thus it is logical to compare the ideal and actual
processes between the same two enthalpy levels that represent the
same kinetic energy change. Therefore, a suitable definition of diffuser

SUPERSATURATED FLOW
 When steam flows/expands through a nozzle, it would be normally
expected that the discharge of steam through the nozzle would be
slightly less than the theoretical value.
 But experiments on flow of wet steam show that discharge is slightly
greater than calculated by the formulae. This can be explained as
follows:
 The converging part of nozzle is so short and the steam velocity is so
high that the molecules of steam have insufficient time to collect and form
droplets.
 So, normal combustion does not take place.
 There is a rapid expansion phase, which is said to be metastable and it
produces supersaturated state.
 In supersaturated state, steam is undercooled to a temperature less
than that corresponding to its pressure.
 So, density of the steam increases and hence the weight of
discharge.

WILSON LINE
Prof. Wilson showed it experimentally that:
“When dry saturated steam is suddenly expanded in absence of dust it
does not condense until its about Eight times that of the saturated vapour
at the same pressure.”
The limiting condition of under-cooling at which condensation commences
and is assumed to restore conditions of normal thermal equilibrium is called
WILSON LINE.

SUPERSATURATED FLOW
Figure: Super Saturated Expansion of Steam in a Nozzle
 The process 1-2 is the isentropic expansion. The change of phase will begin to
occur at point 2
 Consider the h-s diagram as shown in figure.
 But, Vapour continues to expand in a dry state.
66
 Steam remains in this unnatural superheated state until its density is
about eight times that of the saturated vapour density at the same
pressure.
 When this limit is reached, the steam will suddenly condense.
 Point 3 is achieved by extension of the curvature of constant pressure
line p3 from the superheated region which strikes the vertical expansion
line at 3 and through which Wilson line also passes. The point 3
corresponds to a metastable equilibrium state of the vapour.
 The process 2-3 shows expansion under super-saturation condition
which is not in thermal equilibrium. It is also called under cooling
 At any pressure between p2 and p3 i.e., within the superheated zone, the
temperature of the vapour is lower than the saturation temperature
corresponding to that pressure.
67
 Since at 3, the limit of super saturation is reached, the steam will now
condense instantaneously to its normal state at the constant pressure,
and constant enthalpy which is shown by the horizontal line 3-3’ where is
on normal wet area pressure line of the same pressure p3.
 To be noted that 4 and 4’are on the same pressure line.
 3’-4’ is again isentropic, expansion in thermal equilibrium.
Thus the effect of super saturation is to reduce the enthalpy drop slightly
during the expansion and consequently a corresponding reduction in final
velocity. The final dryness fraction and entropy are also increased and the
measured discharge is greater than that theoretically calculated.

    5 REYNOLD’S TRANSPORT THEOREM Thisrelation, known as Reynolds’s transport theorem. The rate of change of N for a given mass as it is moving around is equal to the rate of change of N inside the control volume plus the net efflux (flow out minus flow in) of N from the control volume. It can be interpreted in words as: 1 derivative ˆ ( . ) material cv cs dN dv V n dA dt t               …………………………… (1)
  • 6.
    6 CONSERVATION OF MASS Ifwe observe a given quantity of mass as it moves around, we can say by definition that the mass will remain fixed. Another way of stating this is that the material derivative of the mass is zero: d(mass) =0 dt This is the continuity equation for a control mass. What corresponding expression can we write for a control volume? If N represents the total mass, η is the mass per unit mass, or 1. Substitution into equation (1) yields …………………………… (2)

  • 8.
    8 For steady flow,any partial derivative with respect to time is zero and the equation becomes cs ˆ 0 ρ(V. n)dA   …………………………… (5) Let us now evaluate the remaining integral for the case of one- dimensional flow. Figure below shows fluid crossing a portion of the control surface. Recall that for one dimensional flow any fluid property will be constant over an entire cross section. Thus both the density and the velocity can be brought out from under the integral sign. If the surface is always chosen perpendicular to V , the integral is very simple to evaluate: cs cs ˆ ˆ ρ(V. n)dA = ρ(V. n) dA = ρVA  
  • 9.
    9 This integral mustbe evaluated over the entire control surface, which yields ˆ (V. n) …………………………… (6) This summation is taken over all sections where fluid crosses the control surface and is positive where fluid leaves the control volume (since is positive here) and negative where fluid enters the control volume. For steady, one- dimensional flow, the continuity equation for a control volume becomes cs ˆ ρ(V. n)dA= ρVA  

    11 An alternative formof the continuity equation can be obtained by differentiating equation (9). For steady one-dimensional flow this means that d(ρVA) = AV dρ + ρV dA+Aρ dV = 0 …………………………(10) Dividing by ρAV yields dρ dA dV + + = 0 ρ A V …………………………(11)

    14 MOMENTUM EQUATION If weobserve the motion of a given quantity of mass, Newton’s second law tells us that its linear momentum will be changed in direct proportion to the applied forces. This is expressed by the following equation: c 1 d(momentum) F = g dt  Again, the question is: What corresponding expression can we write for a control volume? If we let N be the linear momentum of the system, η represents the momentum per unit mass, which is V. Substitution into equation (1) yields d(momentum) ˆ ( . ) dt cv cs V dv V V n dA t         …………………………(12) …………………………(13)

The ∑ F represents the summation of all forces on the fluid within the control volume In the event that one-dimensional flow exists, the last integral in equation (14) is easy to evaluate, as ρ and V are constant over any given cross section. If we choose the surface A perpendicular to the velocity, then • cs ˆ Vρ(V. n)dA= VρV dA = VρVA = mV      …………………………(15)
  • 16.
    16 The summation istaken over all sections where fluid crosses the control surface and is positive where fluid leaves the control volume and negative where fluid enters the control volume. If we now consider steady flow, the term involving the partial derivative with respect to time is zero. Thus for steady one- dimensional flow, the momentum equation for a control volume becomes • c 1 F = mV g   …………………………(16) If there is only one section where fluid enters and one section where fluid leaves the control volume, we know (from continuity) that • • • in out m = m = m
  • 17.
    17 and the momentumequation becomes • out in c m F = (V - V ) g  …………………………(17) This is the form of the equation for a finite control volume. What assumptions have been fed into this equation? In using this relation one must be sure to: 1. Identify the control volume. 2. Include all forces acting on the fluid inside the control volume. 3. Be extremely careful with the signs of all quantities.

To continue to accelerate the flow to supersonic conditions, the flow area must increase.  The minimum flow area is called the throat of the nozzle.  We are most familiar with the shape of a subsonic nozzle. That is, the flow area in a subsonic nozzle decreases in the flow direction.  A diffuser is a device that decreases fluid velocity while causing its pressure to rise; thus, d < 0, dP > 0.  V  Diffuser Results 2 2 dA dP = (1-M ) A ρV 2 2 2 Subsonic: M<1 dP(1-M )>0 dA>0 Sonic: M=1 dP(1-M )=0 dA=0 Supersonic: M>1 dP(1-M )<0 dA<0

(For air it is 0.528)  For pressure ratios less than the critical value, the nozzle is said to be choked.  When the nozzle is choked, the mass flow rate is the maximum possible for the flow area, stagnation pressure, and stagnation temperature.  Reducing the pressure ratio below the critical value will not increase the mass flow rate.

    63 SUPERSATURATED FLOW  Whensteam flows/expands through a nozzle, it would be normally expected that the discharge of steam through the nozzle would be slightly less than the theoretical value.  But experiments on flow of wet steam show that discharge is slightly greater than calculated by the formulae. This can be explained as follows:  The converging part of nozzle is so short and the steam velocity is so high that the molecules of steam have insufficient time to collect and form droplets.  So, normal combustion does not take place.  There is a rapid expansion phase, which is said to be metastable and it produces supersaturated state.  In supersaturated state, steam is undercooled to a temperature less than that corresponding to its pressure.  So, density of the steam increases and hence the weight of discharge.

    64 WILSON LINE Prof. Wilsonshowed it experimentally that: “When dry saturated steam is suddenly expanded in absence of dust it does not condense until its about Eight times that of the saturated vapour at the same pressure.” The limiting condition of under-cooling at which condensation commences and is assumed to restore conditions of normal thermal equilibrium is called WILSON LINE.

    65 SUPERSATURATED FLOW Figure: SuperSaturated Expansion of Steam in a Nozzle  The process 1-2 is the isentropic expansion. The change of phase will begin to occur at point 2  Consider the h-s diagram as shown in figure.  But, Vapour continues to expand in a dry state.

    66  Steam remainsin this unnatural superheated state until its density is about eight times that of the saturated vapour density at the same pressure.  When this limit is reached, the steam will suddenly condense.  Point 3 is achieved by extension of the curvature of constant pressure line p3 from the superheated region which strikes the vertical expansion line at 3 and through which Wilson line also passes. The point 3 corresponds to a metastable equilibrium state of the vapour.  The process 2-3 shows expansion under super-saturation condition which is not in thermal equilibrium. It is also called under cooling  At any pressure between p2 and p3 i.e., within the superheated zone, the temperature of the vapour is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to that pressure.

    67  Since at3, the limit of super saturation is reached, the steam will now condense instantaneously to its normal state at the constant pressure, and constant enthalpy which is shown by the horizontal line 3-3’ where is on normal wet area pressure line of the same pressure p3.  To be noted that 4 and 4’are on the same pressure line.  3’-4’ is again isentropic, expansion in thermal equilibrium. Thus the effect of super saturation is to reduce the enthalpy drop slightly during the expansion and consequently a corresponding reduction in final velocity. The final dryness fraction and entropy are also increased and the measured discharge is greater than that theoretically calculated.
