Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain concepts of classical mechanics are utilized to derive the variational formulation for a field partial differential equation. By introducing suitable parameters, it is demonstrated that the concepts of virtual work and generalized coordinates can be extended to the general transport equation and this equation can be translated into Lagrange's equations of mechanics. The system of equations may represent a large number of physical processes and it is not restricted by any means to a particular problem. The Lagrangian system of equations is most suitable for deriving approximate solutions and this is demonstrated by assuming a linear series expansion in terms of the generalized coordinates. Furthermore, it is shown that approximate methods, such as the finite element method, can be directly derived as a special application of the generalized approach. Examples of approximate solutions are given for some typical problems encountered in transport processes. (Author).

Download or read book Advanced Transport Phenomena written by P. A. Ramachandran and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated, modern approach to transport phenomena for graduate students, featuring traditional and contemporary examples to demonstrate the diverse practical applications of the theory. Written in an easy to follow style, the basic principles of transport phenomena, and model building are recapped in Chapters 1 and 2 before progressing logically through more advanced topics including physicochemical principles behind transport models. Treatments of numerical, analytical, and computational solutions are presented side by side, often with sample code in MATLAB, to aid students' understanding and develop their confidence in using computational skills to solve real-world problems. Learning objectives and mathematical prerequisites at the beginning of chapters orient students to what is required in the chapter, and summaries and over 400 end-of-chapter problems help them retain the key points and check their understanding. Online supplementary material including solutions to problems for instructors, supplementary reading material, sample computer codes, and case studies complete the package.
Download or read book Transport Phenomena written by Estéban Saatdjian and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-11-08 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable text, provides a much-needed overview of both the theoretical development, as well as appropriate numerical solutions, for all aspects of transport phenomena. It contains a basic introduction to many aspects of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and mass transfer, and the conservation equations for mass, energy and momentum are discussed with reference to engineering applications. Heat transfer by conduction, radiation, natural and forced convection is studied, as well as mass transfer and incompressible fluid mechanics. The second part of the book deals with numerical methods used to solve the problems encountered earlier. The basic concepts of finite difference and finite volume methods are presented. Other subjects usually covered in mathematical textbooks such as vector and tensor analysis, Laplace transforms, and Runge-Kutta methods are discussed in the Appendices. * Offers comprehensive coverage of both transport phenomena and numerical and analytical solutions to the problems. * Includes comprehensive coverage of numerical techniques. * Provides real-life problems and solutions, which are vital to the understanding and implementation of applications. This work will be welcomed not only by senior and graduate students in mechanical, aeronautical and chemical engineering, but also for engineers practising in these fields.
Download or read book The Method of Weighted Residuals and Variational Principles written by Bruce A. Finlayson and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic book covers the solution of differential equations in science and engineering in such as way as to provide an introduction for novices before progressing toward increasingly more difficult problems. The Method of Weighted Residuals and Variational Principles describes variational principles, including how to find them and how to use them to construct error bounds and create stationary principles. The book also illustrates how to use simple methods to find approximate solutions, shows how to use the finite element method for more complex problems, and provides detailed information on error bounds. Problem sets make this book ideal for self-study or as a course text.
Download or read book Introduction to Numerical Methods for Variational Problems written by Hans Petter Langtangen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook teaches finite element methods from a computational point of view. It focuses on how to develop flexible computer programs with Python, a programming language in which a combination of symbolic and numerical tools is used to achieve an explicit and practical derivation of finite element algorithms. The finite element library FEniCS is used throughout the book, but the content is provided in sufficient detail to ensure that students with less mathematical background or mixed programming-language experience will equally benefit. All program examples are available on the Internet.

Download or read book Transport Analysis written by Daniel Hershey and published by Springer. This book was released on 1974-04-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been my experience in teaching graduate and undergraduate courses that if the students are conversant with the pertinent mathematical proce dures, and can "think mathematically," there is almost no limit to their comprehension. Most courses that are considered difficult by students are either poorly taught or require a degree of mathematical sophistication that the students do not possess. In Transport Analysis, J have culled some basic momentum transport (fluid flow) and mass transport phenomena and explicitly revealed the derivation of the governing equations. There is no mystery, no omitted steps or "it can be shown" phrases that are usually the bane of the student. There are chapters that review basic calculus, vector and matrix concepts, Laplace transform operations, and finite difference calculus. Ordinary dif ferential and partial differential equations are derived and solved. This book is intended for undergraduates and graduate students in engineering, chemistry, physics, and even biology and medicine. It is also intended for my non-engineering colleagues with whom I have collaborated during our cooperative research in the life sciences. If they knew what is contained in Transport Analysis, they probably wouldn't need me. v Acknowledgments To Barbara and Michael, who helped keep me alert, happy, and ful filled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings contain the papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Finite Elements in Water Resources, held in June, 1982, at the University of Hannover, Federal Re public of Germany. This Conference continued the successful series of previous conferences held at Princeton University in 1976, at Imperial College in 1978, and at the University of Mississippi in 1980. Since Finite Elements have proved to be a powerful means for analysing water resource problems, the principal objective of the Conference was to provide an exchange of experiences in practical applications of the finite element method and to establish a forum for discussion regarding accuracy, economy, limitations and improvements. Related discretization methods were included within the scope of the Conference. New develop ments in numerical and computational techniques, basic mathe matical formulations, and soft- and hardware aspects were considered to be equally important topics for an exchange of ideas between both theoretically and practically oriented re searchers. The Conference Organizing Committee is very grateful to the many distinguished scientists who attended the Conference, and for their contributions towards the proceedings. This collection of papers in being made available to a wider audience of en gineers and scientists by CML Publications in Southampton, U.K.
