2.11 Rayleigh flow

Inviscid compressible duct flow with heat transfer. Assume steady, 1D, inviscid, ideal gas, constant area duct, no work,
no potential change. Table lookup.
Salient points:
Heat transfer cannot be due to wall heat exchange because the mechanism of convection is friction (not inviscid).
Heat transfer changes the stagnation enthalpy of the flow.
Because heat transfer allows for S < 0, no restrictions on property changes.

For 1/ k < M < 1, heating causes a decrease in T . Due to conversion of heat into kinetic energy.

3 Dimensional Analysis and Similitude

3.1 Buckingham Pi Theorem
Method of reducing number of dimensional variables in a function. Objective is to develop a dimensionless term. Work
in {M LT } or {F LT }.
1. List all variables in problem, n
2. List all dimensions in problem, k
3. Number of terms, j = n k
4. Select k repeating variables. Cannot form a term on their own.
5. Form each of the j terms, each for one dependent variable
(a) Raise each repeating variable to unknown exponents and take the product.
(b) Multiply by dependent variable.
(c) Express each variable in dimensional form. Set equal to M 0 L0 T 0 0 = .
(d) Form system of equations with unknown exponents as independent variables, and solve.
(e) Re-write term with the solved exponents.
3.2 Similitude
Geometric similarity: Model scaled equally in length (L) dimensions. m = p if = f (L).
Kinematic similarity: Model scaled equally in length (L) and time (T ) dimensions. m = p if = f (L, T ).
Dynamic similarity: Model scaled equally in length (L), time (T ), and force (F ) dimensions. m = p if = f (L, T, F ).
