No need to solve all the problem which ever you know just solve that
Sampling losses in tubes (after Nazaroff 2008 and Friedlander 1977)
Outside air is delivered to the instruments of an air monitoring station through a D =2
cm (inside diameter) copper tube at volumetric flow rate of Q =20 L/min. The tube is
horizontally oriented and is L =5 m long. Answer the following questions to evaluate
the transmission efficiency of particles through this tube. Consider unit density particles
with a size range of 0.01\mu m dp 10\mu m. Deposition occurs by means of Brownian
diffusion and gravitational settling.
(a) If the Reynolds number (Re) based on tube diameter is less than 2100, then the
flow in the boundary layer along the pipe walls will remain laminar. What is the
Reynolds number for this system?
(b) For laminar flow, the air velocity profile evolves from uniform at the inlet to
parabolic over a distance of approximately 0.04 D Re. Over what fraction of the
length of this tube is the flow undeveloped (i.e., not yet fully parabolic)?
(c) Use the approach developed in lecture, based on magnitude analysis, to predict
the particle penetration efficiency as a function of diameter. (Equations are
reproduced below.)
(d) Repeat the analysis of part (c), using the results from the papers by D. B. Ingham
(Journal of Aerosol Science, 6,125,1975) and J. Pich (Aerosol Science, 3,351,
1972) to evaluate the penetration efficiency. (Equations are reproduced below.)
(e) Plot your results from (c) and (d). How well do the results of the magnitude
analysis (c) compare with the more detailed analysis results (d)?.Equations:
a. Results of magnitude analysis for particle penetration through a tube:
Pd=(1-2LDbQ2)2,(only valid if 2LDbQ1; otherwise set Pd=0)
L= tube length; D= tube diameter; vg= gravitational settling velocity; Q= volume flow rate
through tube; Db= Brownian diffusivity of particles
b. Results for gravitational penetration, from Pich (1972)
Ps=1-2{21-232-131-232+arcsin(13)} valid if1; otherwise Ps=0
=3LDvg16Q
c. Results for Brownian diffusion, from Ingham (1975)
Pd=0.819exp(-14.63)+0.0976exp(-89.22)+0.0325exp(-228)+0.0509exp(-125.923)
