Problem 32P

Consider a cross-sectional slice through an array of  exchanger tubes (Fig. P4-33C). For each desired piece information, choose which kind of  flow visualization plot (vector plot or contour plot) would be most appropriate, and explain why.

(a) The location of  maximum fluid speed is to be visualized.

(b) Flow separation at the rear of the tubes is to be visualized.

(c) The temperature field throughout  the plane is to be visualized.

(d) The distribution of the vorticity component normal to the plane is to be visualized.

ANSWER:

Solution

Step 1 of 3

In the given problem, we need to decide in each case, which kind of visualization plot will be most appropriate. That is, whether a vector or contour plot has to be used, along with the explanation for our choice.

Commonly, the vector plots are most appropriate to be visualized  for vectors whereas the contour plots are necessary for scalars.
