Energy Transport: Course: Transport Phenomena CE-506

This document provides an overview of key concepts in transport phenomena including: 1) It references the textbook "Transport Phenomena" by R. Byron Bird as a key resource. 2) It defines the substantial derivative and provides a video link for further explanation. 3) It explains gradient and divergence, defining gradient as a vector that expresses change with respect to position and divergence as the dot product of gradient and a vector, used to indicate net rate of increase at a point.

Gradient and Divergence


Vector Fields:

Gradient
Gradient is a vector that expresses the change in
any property (whether scalar or vector) with
respect to position
For example
Gradient of speed (v) = velocity (vector)= v
Gradient of velocity=acceleration (tensor)
Gradient of temperature=heat flux (vector)
where,
v v v
v i
j k v (velocity vector )
x
y
z

Divergence
Divergence of a vector field is the dot product of gradient

and the vector


For example: the divergence of vector v is

Divergence indicate the net rate of increase of the quantity

at any point in the space (net increase in velocity in the


case above)

Divergence decreases the order of tensor


Gradient increases the order of tensor
