Conservation of Energy in Control Volume01:14

Conservation of Energy in Control Volume

1.1K
Consider a turbine operating under steady-flow conditions. The control volume is drawn around the turbine, with fluid entering at one point and exiting at another. The turbine extracts energy from the fluid, which performs mechanical work (shaft work).
For steady flow systems, the time derivative of the stored energy becomes zero since there is no energy accumulation within the control volume. This simplifies the energy equation to:

Conservation of Energy: Application01:12

Conservation of Energy: Application

7.9K
When solving problems using the energy conservation law, the object (system) to be studied should first be identified. Often, in applications of energy conservation, we study more than one body at the same time. Second, identify all forces acting on the object and determine whether each force doing work is conservative. If a non-conservative force (e.g., friction) is doing work, then mechanical energy is not conserved. The system must then be analyzed with non-conservative work. Third, for...

Energy Conservation and Bernoulli's Equation

10.4K
Applying the conservation of energy principle or the work-energy theorem to an incompressible, inviscid fluid in laminar, steady, irrotational flow leads to Bernoulli's equation. It states that the sum of the fluid pressure, potential, and kinetic energy per unit volume is constant along a streamline.
All the terms in the equation have the dimension of energy per unit volume. The kinetic energy per unit volume is called the kinetic energy density, and the potential energy per unit volume is...

Energy Associated With a Charge Distribution01:21

Energy Associated With a Charge Distribution

1.8K
The work done to bring a charge through a distance r is given by the potential difference between the initial and the final position. To assemble a collection of point charges, the total work done can be expressed in terms of the product of each pair of charges divided by their separation distance, defined with respect to a suitable origin. Solving this expression gives the energy stored in a point charge distribution.

Conservation of Mass in Finite Cotrol Volume

1.7K
The principle of conservation of mass is a fundamental law in fluid mechanics and is applied using the continuity equation. We apply the concept to a finite control volume to derive the continuity equation.
A system is defined as a collection of unchanging contents, and the conservation of mass states that a system's mass is constant.

Conservation of Linear Momentum for a System of Particles01:28

Conservation of Linear Momentum for a System of Particles

468
In the dynamic realm of billiards, a fascinating interplay of forces governs the motion of cue balls and stationary balls. When the cue ball collides with a stationary ball, linear momentum is exchanged. The cue ball imparts a fraction of its linear momentum to the stationary ball, causing the cue ball to decelerate while initiating the motion of the stationary ball.
The impulsive force at play during this interaction is of extremely short duration, rendering its impulse negligible. When...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Physics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Molecular Dynamics

Background:

  • Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations often suffer from secular energy drift, compromising accuracy.
  • Maintaining energy conservation is crucial for reliable simulation results in various physical systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel pairwise particle dynamics method to suppress secular energy drift in DPD simulations.
  • To achieve exact total linear momentum conservation while allowing microscopic energy fluctuations.

Main Methods:

  • An additional pairwise particle dynamics was introduced to DPD.
  • This method was tested in combination with reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) moves.
  • Equilibrium and transport properties were computed to assess the method's impact.

Main Results:

  • The new dynamics successfully suppressed secular energy drift.
  • Total linear momentum was conserved exactly.
  • The method allows for non-uniform temperature fields in steady states.
  • Computed equilibrium and transport properties remained unaffected.

Conclusions:

  • The introduced pairwise dynamics is an effective strategy for energy drift suppression in DPD.
  • It offers a microcanonical ensemble at equilibrium, distinct from the canonical ensemble of standard thermostats.
  • The method is compatible with NEMD techniques and preserves system properties.
