    Abstract-Conjugated Graetz problems arise where two (or more) phases, with at least one phase in fullydeveloped flow, exchange energy or mass across an intervening surface. In these problems the temperature orconcentration fields are coupled through the conjugating conditions which express the continuity of fluxes and therate of transfer. A general formalism is presented first for the analysis of these problems, employing a matrixdifferential operator with respect to the radial variable and following the decomposition technique of [l-3]. Theaforementioned operator is shown to be symmetric in its domain, possessing a denumerable set of eigenvalues anda complete set of eigenvectors. A class of solid-fluid problems, involving the removal of heat from a heated solidcylinder by a surrounding annular-flow fluid, is then discussed in detail; analytical solutions are obtained byexpansion in terms of the above eigenvectors. These solid-fluid problems may be viewed as extensions of theextended, one-phase, Graetz problem with prescribed wall flux[2].

    1 INTRODUCTION

    The Graetz problem for a single fluid stream involves thefluid in rectilinear, fuIly developed flow through a con-duit of constant cross-section exchanging heat (or mass)with the surround ings. The standard v ariations in thissituation consist of a specified wall tempera ture or wallflux or transfer rate across the wall to the exterior ofknown ambient temperature. The mathematical for-mulation leads to an energy differential equation togetherwith boun dary conditions at the conduit wall and axis. Itis usually app ropriate to neglect axial molec ular trans-port in the foregoing problems, which lead to analyticalsolutions. Low Peclet number flows impose the inclusionof the axial conduction term in the energy equationleading to problems whose solutions have required ap-proxim ate m ethods. Recen tly however, the presentauthors [l-3] have obtained analytical solutions to thelow Peclet number problems based on a new selfadjointformalism. The objective of the present work is toextend the methodology to conjugated Graetz problemsin which two (or more) fluids in co- or counter-currentflow exchange energy across an intervening heat transfersurface. In those problems the tempera ture fields arecoupled through interfacial conditions expressing thecontinuity of fluxes and the rate of heat transfer.

    Ou r efforts[l-31 on the single-stream extended Graetzproblems were motivated entirely by the difficulties aris-ing from the inclusion of the axial conduction in theanalysis. In dealing with conjuga ted problems, howeve r,there exist several aspects in the formu lation, analysis

    and com putational features of even the simplest of themwhich require some fresh perspectives. For examp le, thesolution of some parabolic-elliptic, liquid-solid problemsmay be readily obtained, without reso rting to the solutionof equivalent integral equations. In other problems, theeffect of a solid phase separating two fluid phases may beincorporated into the analysis very conveniently, as weshall see in the general formu lation and analysis thatfollow. Fer the counter-curre nt problems we provide aconvenient formalism, define a suitable Hilbert sp ace andderive the necessary expansion theorem.

    The difficulties in the treatment of the conjugatedGraetz problems are discussed in some detail in [4] andmay be briefly summarized as follows:

    (1) The integration of the eigenvalue problems inannu lar spaces and/or with non-parab olic velocityprofiles cannot be accomp lished in a straight-forwardmann er. In the past, this led to over-simplifications of theproblems or to the use of entirely num erical integrationtechniques (Rung e-Kutta), thus limiting the applicationsof the problems and the comp utational efficiency of theirsolutions.

    (2) For the parabolic counter-curren t problem theusua l inner produ ct with the velocity expression as theweight function is not available, since the velocitychanges sign over the radial interval.

    (3) Conjugated problems with a flow phase describedby an elliptic equation (i.e. when axial conduction isincluded in the analysis), inherit all the difficulties of thesingle stream problems which have been discussed in[l-31.(4) Conju gated problems involving at least one solidphase and one fluid phase, may be treated as elliptic

    1382 E. PAPOUTSAKIS nd D. RAMKRISHNAproblems deriving irom the solid phase, although axialconduction may be insignificant for the fluid phase. Thisfact has not been recogn ized before, so that these prob-lems were treated through their equivalent integral equa-tions.

    (5) Problems involving thin solid phases, the resis-tance of which is accounted for throug h a simple rela-tionship, introduce discontinuities in the radial interval,thus req uiring a modified inner p roduct to yield a self-adjoint formalism.

    The present analysis overcom es in principle all of theabove difficulties by employing a new operator for-malism. Thus it employs an inner product that does notcontain the velocity ex pression, so that the analysis ispossible whether the velocity is negative (c ounter-cur-rent problem s) or zero (for solid phases).

    Amo ng problems involving essentially fluid phasesonly, some have been treated through their differentialformulation[S-151 and others through the formulation ofequivalent integral equations[l6-181.

    The applications of conjuga ted problems arenumerous, covering many areas of chemical engineeringand of other disciplines. Thu s, we have, for example,conjuga ted problems involving liquid-solid-liquid orliquid-solid-gas interfaces, with applications in heatexchangers and mass separation processes with orwithout chemical reaction. Metallurgical systems involvemass transfer of different species a cross gas-liquid,liquid-liquid or solid-liquid interfaces. Wetted-w all ab-sorbers an d falling-film reactors inv olve gas-liquid inter-faces. R eferences for all the above and further ap-plications may be found in [16-IS ].

    In this paper we shall present the formalism for themost general problem, involving any dual combination offluid and solid phases. Fluid phases are assumed to beseparated by a thin solid phase (offering interfacial resis-tance). Then , we shall solve a class of solid-fluid prob-lems which admit very simple analytical solutions. Thesolution of the problems is based o n the methodo logy ofour earlier papers [l-3], which (methodology) decomposesthe energy differential equation into a system of firstorder differential equations such that a selfadjoint for-malism is obtained.

    The present pap er also generalizes the papers ofRamkrishna and Amundson on the solution of transportproblems with oblique and mixed derivative boundaryconditions [19,20], in that it accounts for transversevariations in the tempera ture or concentration field andaxial transport in the fluid.

    2. GENERAL FORMALISMConsider two fluids with fully developed flows

    exchanging heat as in Fig. 1. One fluid is flowing in thetubular space of the doub le p ipe, while the other fluid isflowing in the surround ing annu lar space co-currently orcounter-curren tly. If one of the two velocities is zero,

    tThis assumption is made only for reasons of convenience.The herein presented formalism can accom modate viscous dis-sipation as long as the assum ption of constant phy sical propertiesis upheld.

    Fig 1 Sketch of the physical situation described by the generalconjugated Graetz problem.

    then we have the case of a solid-fluid conjugated prob-lem. The thickness of the walI that separates the twomedia, rO, is small bu t finite. Th e outer fluid is exchang-ing energy, through the outer wall, with a third fluid ofconstant tempera ture. The physical properties for eachfluid are assumed to be constant and we neglect anyviscous dissipati0n.t The specification of the axialdom ain and boun dary conditions is deferred to a laterstage. Assuming ax isymm etry, we may write the energyequations and the boun dary conditions for the two fluids,in compa ct form as follows,

    Z(L 0) = 0rI(L 6) = PC b - d).

    (31)(32)

    From (30) and (12), we have,

    q[ b-d)=2(b-d\ael b-d)x 87 = -2(b - d)B[@(& b d) - @(J,b)] (33)

    and also from (30) and (1 l),z({, 1) = 2$[, I) = -2B,@(& 1). (34)

    In view of (33) and (34), we may write eqns (29), (30),(11) and (12 ) in the following compact form of matrixnotation,

    - We)n = LF(& 7)) (35)where

    andFK, 4 = [WL s), 215, 9 X b - 4, t(R 01. (37)

    Now the problem may be recast as given by eqn (35)subject to boundary conditions (31), (32) and someboun dary conditions w.r.t. f that must be specified forthe particular problem.

    In view of (31) and (32 ), if we define the inner produc tbetween two vectors

    and

    as9 = [$1(11), @2(V), 3, @J (39)

    where

    then L is symmetric in the Hilbert space X=X1 @ Y&@ % @ % with domainD(L) = {$ E X: L4(exists and) E X, $3 = & (b - d),

    04 = 2(l ), MO) = 0, M b - 4 = y z(b)l (42)as shown in Appendix 1. Hilbert space X, and &r, areclearly defined also in Append ix I. Unlike all single-stream Graetz problems, the q dom ain is not a singlecontinuou s interval, but, rather the union of the twocontinuou s intervals [0, b- d] and [b, I]. Of course, allthe linear operato r theory is valid with this kind ofdom ains. Th us, we obtain the selfadjoint (or Sturm -Liouville) eigenvalue problem,

    L& = A&Jfrom which we may write, analytically,

    -2B(b - d)[+i (b d) - A (b)1 = Mz(b - d) (46)-2B+1(l) = n,+,*(l). (47)

    From (44)-(47) and (42) we may now obtain the problem,

    &(O)=O (49)4;l(b -d) = k&b) (50)

    -&b -d) = B[$jil(b - d)- +& )I (51)&(l)+B.$jic(l)=O. (52)

    The gap in the 7 d omain is a result of including in theanalysis the effect of the separating inner wall. Althoug hthe effect of the wall is approx imated with relation (1 2),we cannot ignore the effect of its thickness on thevelocity field and thus on the tempera ture field. Thisfinite thickness of the inner w all necessitates also theusage of the inner product (40).

    Opera tor L is neither positive definite nor negativedefinite. It has both positive eigenvalues (At) with cor-responding eigenvectors (4;} and negative eignevalues(A;} with eigenvector {by} . The two sets of eigenvec-tors, normalized according to inner product (40), togetherconstitute an orthono rmal basis in X For the co-currentor the solid-fluid pro blems the positive spectrum disap-pears for Pe+m as with the single stream prob lems, for,one may show that in this case the operator becomesasymp totically negative definite. For the counter-curren tproblems however the positive spectrum is retained evenfor Pe +a, which is becauce of the fact that the velocityexpression changes sign over the q dom ain.

    3. SOLID-FLUID PROBLEMSSolid-fluid conjuga ted Graetz problems involve heat or

    mass transfer between a stationary phase (a true solid, afluid or a gel) and a flowing phase. By virtue of thethermal or mass diffusion in the solid phase, they areelliptic-parabolic problems, if axial conduc tion ordiffusion may be neglected in the flowing phase, orelliptic-elliptic problems if not. For the currentlyemployed formalism however, they are elliptic problemsin either case.Solid-fluid co njugated Graetz pro blems find a widerange of applications both in heat transfer [18,22 ,23] andmas transfer[24,25]. These problems have been treatedin the past essentially through their equivalent integral-equation formulation. The present methodology avoidsthe solution of integral equation s and provides a strictlyanalytical solution.3.1. A problem with heat transfer through the outer wall

    Consider the physical situation depicted in Fig. 2. Aviscous fluid is flowing in an annu lar space a round a solidcylinder to remove the heat produced by the heat sourceF(z, r) occupying part of the cylinder. The fluid is alsoexchang ing heat through the outer wall with the sur-rounding environment of constant temperature Tz. Thetemperatu re with which the fluid is entering the annda rat -w is also T2. This problem for example may physic-ally represent remo val of heat generated by a nuclearrod. The solid cylinder is for simplicity assumed to be ofuniform thermal conductivity. The length of the heat-source section of the cylinder is I,. If the heat source isaxisymm etric, the mathe matical problem, in dimension-less form, may be written as,

    In fact, q(q) represents the thermally dev eloped tem-perature profile in the solid and the fluid for a semi-infinitely long heat source, as it can be readily seen fromeqn (67b) by taking the limit for Z,-W.

It is tobe noted tha t although the defining expressions in (77 )and (78) are valid with an y velocity profile, the derivedexpressions in (77) and (78) correspond to the laminarprofile (14b ). Also, in deriving solution (79 , the simpleheat-source function (63 ) has been used. The solutionswith other prescribed velocity profiles and/or heat-sourcefunctions may be derived analogo usly. It is understoodalso that in all the above expressions the eigenvalues aredifferent from those of the problem of Section 3.1 al-though for simplicity we use the same symbols (Ai. +j, mj,etc.) for the corresponding quantities.

    For the lamina r flow considered here the integration ofthe eigenvalue problem (4&o-(l) is performed using aseries solution for the annular space (see [4] for details)and the Bessel functions of the zeroth order for the solidcylinder. For any given velocity profile, a series so lutionor a numerical technique may be used. This integrationtechnique is indeed m ost efficient. Thu s 14 eigenvaluesmay be computed within 2-3 set, 8 eigenvalues withinl-l.5 set and 6 eigenvalues within fractions of a second,all with an accuracy of at least 1 0 significant figu res.How ever, only 4-6 eigenvalues are required for the finalcomp utations of this problem. Similarly 1 4 expansioncoefficients (= mJ/ hjll4/*)) for solution (67 ) were com -puted w ithin I set and 6-8 coefficients within fractions ofa second. The final computation of the temperature at21 0 points, typically utilized for any of the Figs. 3-6,required l-l.5 sec. with an accuracy of better than0.05%. Further computational details m ay be found in141.

    5. RESULTS AND DISCUSIONA particularly interesting feature of the present class ofproblems is the unusually fast convergence of the solu-tion series. Tab le 1 presents the first 1 4 of the positiveand negative eigenvalues with their correspondingexpansion coefficient coefficients for Pe = 5, demon-strating the very fast decrease of the expansioncoefficients. Thu s, 4-6 terms will suffice for the tem-perature computation even at 4 = 0 with an accuracybetter than 0.05% , while for all practical purposes thefirst one or two terms of the series solution will beadequ ate. It should be perhaps also noted that the con-vergence is even faster for higher Peclet num bers tha n 5;

Indeed, inview of the dedimen sionalization process, the axial dis-tances of Fig. 6 correspond to those of Fig. 5, and thus acomp arison of the two figures shows that axial heatconduction in the fluid cannot be ignored even for Pe =100 . In fact, it appears that Peclet num bers significantlyhigher than 100 will be required for axial heat conductionin the fluid to become insignificant. The imposition ofequality between the ambien t and inlet coolant tem-peratures may seem to be an unreasonable constraintfrom a practical viewpoint. In this connection, the prob-lem which is depicted in Fig. 7 overcomes this objectionin the most suitable manner by allowing for a boundarydiscontinuity in the ambien t temperature (which isnatura lly dealt w ith in the formalism) at some z = -12,where the temperature jumps from TZ to TN.The section--m < z < -12 has an ambient temperature of T2, whichautom aticatly forces the fluid to enter at --m with an inlettemperature of T2.

    6. CONCLUDING REMARKSThe analysis presented has shown how conjugated

    Graetz problems may be investigated by utilizing a singledifferential expression for the energy equation, irrespec-tive of the num ber of phases and streams invo lved. Inparticular, we have demon strated how solid-fluid prob-lems may be solved simply and efficiently withoutresorting to the solution of their equivalent integralequations. It appears also that problems with one solidphase possess rapidly converging series solutions.Acknow ledgeme n&-The computer facilities for this work weregenerously provided by Purdue University.
