Analogies of transport properties
• Transport phenomena is the integrated study of
these three physical properties—they intertwine under many
circumstances.
• Generally, since concentration and temperature are scalar
quantities, analogies between mass and heat transport are more
valid than those with momentum.
• Nevertheless, with proper definitions, the transports of these
quantities all depend on transport coefficients with
the units of [length2/time]—kinematic viscosity, diffusivity, and
thermal diffusivity. This is why kinematic
viscosity is also called momentum diffusivity
• The flux laws of these quantities—Newton's law of viscosity, Fick's
law, and Fourier's law—all share the same linear constitutive
equation.

, the two are equal
• Equation 4.34 is known as Reynolds’s analogy.
The above relation may also be written in terms
of the Darcy’s friction factor (fD) instead of
fanning friction factor (fD = 4f) Where Stanton
number (St) is defined as

• The advantage of the analogy lies in that


the h may not be available for certain
geometries/situations however, for which f value
may be available as it is easier to perform
momentum transport experiments and then to
calculate the f. Thus by using the eq.4.34
the h may be found out without involving into
the exhaustive and difficult heat transfer
experiments.
The Chilton-Colburn analogy

• The Reynolds analogy does not always give satisfactory results.


Thus, Chilton and Colburn experimentally modified the Reynolds’
analogy. The empirically modified Reynolds’ analogy is known as
Chilton-Colburn analogy and is given by

• It can be noted that for unit Prandtl number the Chilton-Colburn


analogy becomes Reynolds analogy.
The Pradntl analogy
• In the turbulent core the transport is mainly by eddies and near
the wall, that is laminar sub-layer, the transport is by molecular
diffusion. Therefore, Prandtl modified the above two analogies
using universal velocity profile while driving the analogy (eq.
4.36).
The Van Karman analogy

• Though Prandtl considered the laminar and turbulent laminar


sublayers but did not consider the buffer zone. Thus, Van Karman
included the buffer zone into the Prandtl analogy to further
improve the analogy.
