2.1.1 Fourier´s law of stationary heat conduction and heat conductivity

The general law of diffusive fluxes of properties

can be written in case of transport of energy (heat conduction):

Equation (2.1.1-2) is Fourier‘s law of stationary (one-dimensional) heat conduction. The heat flux is the product of heat conductivity, area and temperature gradient. The heat flux vector is anti-parallel to the temperature gradient (also vector). This is noted by the negative sign in equation (2.1.1-2). Heat, therefore, always is transported in the direction of lower temperatures (this is also a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics).

The heat conductivity [W/m K] according to Fourier‘s law is the heat flux density jQ [W/m2] by heat conduction per unit of negative temperature gradient dT/dx [K/m]. The heat conductivity is a material property.

2.1.2 Mechanisms of heat conduction in gases, liquids and solids

Gases. We consider a gas with a temperature gradient in one direction, see figure 2.1.2-1. The gas molecules move by thermal motion from an isotherm with a certain temperature to an other isotherm with higher (lower) temperature. Hopping between the isotherms the gas mole-cules carry their internal energy and transfer the energy by collisions to other molecules. Thereby, „hotter“ regions are cooled and „cooler“ regions are heated. If the temperature gradient is kept at constant, a heat flux is established from high temperature to low temperature.

Gaseous molecules accumulate their internal energy in form of kinetic energy (translation), rotational energy and oscillation energy (the latter forms only in multi-atom molecules, e.g. H2O, N2, CO2….). Rotational energy and oscillation energy are quantized.

Heat conductivity of gases. According to the simple model of heat conduction, the heat conductivity of ideal gases can be desribed with the kinetic theory of gases:

In equation (2.1.2-1) is the mean free pass of the molecules and the mean molecular velocity of the molecules.

According to equation (2.1.2-3) the heat conductivity increases with increasing temperature (for atoms T0,5) and with increasing molar mass. According to the kinetic theory of gases, there is no pressure dependence of the heat conductivity for ideal gases.

Table 2.1.2-1 contains the heat conductivities of some gases. From the table a slight pressure dependence of the heat conductivity can be seen (in contrast to the simple kinetic gas theory).

Heat conductivity of liquids. The mechanism of heat conduction in liquids is similar to that of heat conduction in gases, however, the interactions of molecules play an important role (hydrogen bridge bonds, van der Waals interactions, other long range and short range interactions).

Table 2.1.2-2 gives an overview about the heat conductivities of some liquids. The heat conductivity of most liquids is one order of magnitude higher than the heat conductivity of gases.

Water and other inorganic fluids (ammonia) exhibit a much higher heat conductivity than organic fluids; molten salts show even higher heat conductivities.

The heat conductivity of liquids increases generally with increasing temperature.

2.1.2/3 – 01.2012

Simple model for heat conduction in solids. In solids molecules (lattice building blocks) cannot move freely. Tey are fixed at their lattice places, see figure 2.1.2-2.

Solids store thermal energy in form of oscillations of the atoms about their rest positions in the lattice. In solids the transport of energy occurs via the oscillations of neigh-boring molecules. All molecules in the solid form a system of coupled oscillators (same mechanism as the transport of sound in solids).

The energy quanta released or accepted from this system of coupled oscillators are called phonons. Therefore, heat conduction in solids is accomplished by transport of phonons. In addition, in metals and electrical conductors the transport of phonons is superimposed by the transport of electrons in the conductivity bond. Therefore, heat conductivity in solids is caused by the transport of phonons and the thermal movement of conductivity electrons. The latter effect increases the heat conductivity.

The heat conductivity of metals is two to three orders of magnitudes higher than that of gases. Metals show a much higher thermal conductivity compared with other solids.

Heat conductivities of metals correspond to electrical conductivities (Fe < Al < Cu< Ag); Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenz law. contribution of conductivity electrons to heat conduction.

For metals and other electrical conductors the heat conductivity is a complicated function of temperature.

Often the heat conductivity is non isotropic (graphite, wood).

2.1.3 Stationary heat conduction in planar and non-planar geometries, heat transfer coefficient

Stationary heat conduction through planar geometries. We consider a planar plate with homogeneous material properties, see figure 2.1.3-1. Boundary conditions at the left and right surface are kept at constant temperatures. Heat conductivity is 1 .

Using Fourier‘s law we obtain:

Assuming 1 being constant separation of variables leads to:

Integration within boundaries 0 and x results in:

For this problem we obtain a linear decrease of temperature within the plate.

Stationary heat conduction in spherical shells. We consider a spherical shell which is treated as one-dimensional problem (coordinate radius r). The temperatures at the inner and outer surface are constant in time and surface, see figure 2.1.3-2. The material has the heat conductivity 1.

According to Fourier‘s law we write:

In this case the area increases with radius. Therefore, according to Fourier‘s law we expect a steeper decrease of the temperature. Again the total heat flux is constant. Separation of variables in equation (2.1.3-4) gives:

Integration within the boundaries Ri and r gives:

The temperature in the sperical shell varies hyperbolicly with the radius r (at constant heat conductivity, compare planar problem: linear).

At otherwise constant conditions (T, s, ) the heat flux in spherical geometries is smaller compared to planar geometries.

For Ra >> Ri in equation (2.1.3-6) 1/Ra may be neglected against1/Ri. Using this we obtain:

Heat transfer coefficient. We consider the problem analogous to heat conduction in a spherical shell, figure 2.1.3-2. The cavity is now filled with material and the shell thickness is extended to infinity. The surface temperature of the sphere (filled cavity) is constant and the temperature far away from the surface is also kept at constant, see figure 2.1.3-3.

2.1.4 Stationary heat conduction in layered materials, over all heat transfer coefficient

Stationary heat conduction in layered materials. We consider a planar body consisting of layers of different materials. The over-all thickness is small compared with the lateral dimensions, so that the problem can be treated as a one-dimensional heat conduction problem. At the left and right wall constant temperatures are applied, seee figure 2.1.4-1. The different layers have the heat conductivities 1 ,2 and 2.

Applying Fourier‘s law we obtain:

Heat and Mass Transfer

Heat loss via the „cold bridge“ to the ambient as heat transfer problem: The total heat flux from the slab is supplied by heat conduction from the wall to the slab (see fig. 2.1.5-1). Therefore

The heat supplied by heat conduction into the slab is transferred to the ambient. Therefore, JQ = JQüb. Solution for the temperature distribution for the stationary problem at x 0:

With this we obtain from equation (2.1.5-17):

On the other hand, the heat transfer problem can be formulated based on the fundamental heat transfer equation (2.1.3-14):

Comparing equations (2.1.5-19) and (2.1.5-20) we obtain:

We learn from this example that heat transfer from the slab to the ambient and heat conduction into the slab are coupled processes that affect each other!

Exact temperature measurement. We mount a temperature sensor (thermo couple) into the slab to measure the temperature Ta. How close is the temperature at the front end to the ambient temperature Ta? In this case Ta > T0.

For the front end of the slab (= 1) we obtain:

2.2 Non stationary heat conduction

2.2.1 Fourier‘s law of non stationary heat conduction and thermal conductivity

Up to now only stationary heat conduction problems have been discussed. For this problems temperatures and heat fluxes are invariant against time. In process technology most problems are non stationary, so that non stationary heat conduction has to be discussed in the following.

Basics of non stationary heat conduction; Fourier‘s law of non stationary heat conduction. Again we consider a cylindrical slab with homogeneous material properties (, cp, ) which is mounted at a wall. (Simplification: temperature constant over the radius (1-d problem). The wall temperature is initially Ta and is increased at t = 0 to T0. The temperature distribution and heat fluxes are now dependent on distance and time!

For determinationof the temperature distribution in the slab we consider the heat balance for a differential volume of the slab. Within the slab we have heat conduction and accumulation, at the surface we have heat transfer to the ambient.

Heat balance:

accumulation of heat = heat flux in –

heat flux out (2.2.1-1)

The remaining task is the determination of the wall gradient in equation (2.2.2-16) (d/d)0. The error function erf() converges assymptoticly at large versus 1. Therefore 1/2/2.erf() converges against 0,8862, compare figure 2.2.2-2. From equation (2.2.2-16) we then obtain for large ( = (T-Ta)/(T0-Ta)=0):

2.3 Stationary diffusion

2.3.1 Fick´s law of stationary diffusion and diffusion coefficient

The general law of diffusive fluxes of properties

can be written in case of transport of chemical species (diffusion):

Equation (2.3.1-2) is Fick‘s law of stationary diffuison. The mole flux of species k is the product of diffusion coefficient, area and concentration gradient. The mole flux vector is anti-parallel to the concentration gradient, negative sign in equation (2.1.1-2). The species k, therefore, always is transported in the direction of lower concentrations.

The diffusion coefficient D [m2/s] according to Ficks‘s law is the mole flux density jnk [mole/m2.s] by diffusion per unit of negative concentration gradient dck/dx [mole/m4]. The diffusion coefficient D is a material property.

2.3.2 Mechanisms of diffusion

Simple model for diffusion in a fluid (gas, liquid). Fluid particles (molecules in a gas) move driven by thermal molecular motion with a temperature dependent velocity. During this motion the molecules strike each other. Every strike leads to a change of the direction of the motion, so that the molecules in the average at constant pressure and constant temperature move homogeneously in all directions.

If in a closed system a concentration gradient for the single molecules exists, compare figure 2.3.2-1, on the time average more molecules from the region of higher concentration will move into the region of lower concentration. By this a diffusion flux is established into the direction of lower concentrations.

According to that simple model, the diffusion coefficient should be dependent on the mean molcular velocity and the mean free path of the molecules and from that on temperature and pressure.

Diffusion coefficients of gases. According to the above simple model for the diffusion of gases the diffusion coefficient of ideal gases can be calculated with the help of the kinetic gas theory:

In equation (2.3.2-1) is the mean free path of the molecules and v the mean molecular velocity (compare heat conductivity).

According to equation (2.3.2-4), kinetic gas theory, the diffusion coefficients increase with decreasing molar mass of the molecules. Increasing temperatures lead to a strong increase of the diffusion coefficients (T1,5). According to the kinetic gas theory we have a pressure dependence according to p-1.

Diffusion coefficients of liquids. The diffusion coefficients of most liquids are about five orders of magnitude lower than those of gases.

The mechanism of diffusion in liquids is similar to the mechnism of diffusion in gases. However, the interactions of the molecules in the fluid (van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bridge bonds, long distance interactions) play an important role. Thereby, the diffusion coefficients of most species in liquids are dependent on concentration, compare table 2.3.2-2.

2.4 Non-stationary diffusion

2.4.1 Fick‘s law for non-stationary diffusion

Analogously to non stationary heat conduction we can derive the differential equation for non stationary diffusion with the help of a mass balance for the scenario given in figure 2.4.1-1. We focus again on a planar diffusion problem (e.g. solution of a solid in water), which can be treated 1-dimensionally. In the fluid initially a constant concentration cA0 prevails, compare figure 2.4.1-1. At time t = 0 the concentration is sudddenly increased to cAS (immersion of the solid into water). An equation of the evolution of the concentration cA with time is obtained from a mass balance for species A in a differential balance volume:

Accumulation of moles of A =

inflow of moles of A –

outflow of moles of A (2.4.1-1)

In the same way as for non stationary heat conduction we obtain finally

As can be seen from equations (2.1.1.-2), (2.2.2-1), (2.3.1-2) and (2.4.1-2) heat transport by (stationary and non stationary) conduction and mass transport by (stationary and non stationary) diffusion are closely related with vast analogies:

Also, the transport coefficients (heat conductivity, diffusion coefficients) are closely related, e.g. from kinetic theory of gases we obtain for ideal gases:

This gives then:

Due to this similarity, heat transfer problems and mass transfer problems can be often treated similarly!

Question: concentration profile in the pore of the catalyst, molar flux into the catalyst.

We perform a mass balance for the species A over a differential balance volume. Within the pore we have diffusion of the species A and the species A reacts at the wall of the pore into products according to a chemical reaction of first order. (Simplification: concentration only dependent on x, 1-dimensional problem.) Mass balance:

Diffusion flux of A into the volume:

Diffusion flux of A out of the volume:

2.6 Examples for stationary diffusion problems from process engineering

Diffusion into a porous catalyst with simultaneous chemical reaction. In a pellet of a catalysts we have round pores of the length L, into which from the surface of the pellet a chemical component diffuses and reacts at the inner surface of the pore. The pores can be treated for simplicity as cylinders. At the outer surface the concentration is c0, compare figure 2.6-1. The diffusion coefficient of the species is DA.

Differentiating with respect to gives:

Equation (2.6-9) is therefore only a solution of equation (2.6-8) if:

Mass balance for stationary conditions:

The molar flux at the position x+x is replaced by a Taylor series of the molar flux at the position x:

With this we have for the mass balance:

Transformation using = c/c0 and = x/L gives:

In equation (2.6-8) m2 = (k.U.L2)/(DA.A) = L2(2k/DA

.R) = 2. is called the Thiele-Modulus. The Thiele modulus can be interpreted as ratio of reatcion rate to diffusion rate.

General solution: linear combination of the particular solutions:

The integration constants A and B are calculated from the boundary conditions.

Boundary condition 1: For = 0 is c =c0, therefore = 1. This gives:

Boundary condition 2: The end of the pore is not permeable for material. Then d/d = 0, for = 1. Then it follows:

With equation (2.6-13) we obtain:

With increasing Thiele modulus, that is with increasing reaction rate compared to the diffusion rate, the concentration decreases steeper and the concentration gradient at the outer surface increases.

Diffusion into the pores as mass transfer problem: The mass of the component A which is consumed by chemical reaction within the pore of the catalyst has to be transportet through the pore entrance by diffusion. Therefore

Concentration profile for the stationary problem:

This gives:

On the other hand, every mass transfer problem – in this case the mass transfer from the outer surface of the catalyst into the inner of the pore – can be written as (compare equation 2.5-3):

Comparing equation (2.6-19) and (2.6-20) we obtain (with coo = 0 for m>5):

The mass transfer through the pore entrance of the catalyst and the chemical reaction at the inner surface are coupled ! The faster the chemical reaction (the larger the Thiele modulus) the larger is the mass transfer coeffcient ! (compare stationary heat conduction in a slab ?)
