Energy Dissipation in Porous Media for Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Translational Motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the modelling of translational motion, the concepts of frequency-dependent (of the angular fluctuations of the velocity field) self-diffusion and the dispersion tensor are commonly used in its characterisation. Both of these parameters are related to velocity autocorrelation. An alternative means of modelling translational motion is via the equilibrium and nonequilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem in classical statistical mechanics. This alternative approach provides further insight into the molecular level processes occurring in the system. Here both of these theoretical fluctuation-dissipation approaches are employed to determine expressions for energy dissipation in simple equilibrium systems exhibiting asymptotic and preasymptotic diffusion and dispersion phenomena and also in a nonequilibrium preasymptotic system involving dispersion within and beyond the upper limit of heterogeneity of an isotropic porous medium. As an example the permeability of porous media due to diffusion and dispersion are studied and it is shown how a frequency-dependent permeability can be treated as a phasor.

Slip flow in porous micro-tubes under local thermal non-equilibrium conditions
In the present work, forced convection heat transfer of slip flow in porous micro-tubes with local thermal non-equilibrium between the gas and the solid matrix is investigated numerically. For this purpose, the flow is considered hydrodynamically developed but thermally developing. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model in conjunction with separate energy equations for the gas and the solid matri...

متن کاملInformation-Theoretic Bound on the Entropy Production to Maintain a Classical Nonequilibrium Distribution Using Ancillary Control
There are many functional contexts where it is desirable to maintain a mesoscopic system in a nonequilibrium state. However, such control requires an inherent energy dissipation. In this article, we unify and extend a number of works on the minimum energetic cost to maintain a mesoscopic system in a prescribed nonequilibrium distribution using ancillary control. For a variety of control mechani...
متن کاملAsymptotic Solutions of Biot’s Equations by Complex Ray Tracing
Abstract. Acoustic waves in porous media are subject to dispersion and strong attenuation. A rigorous asymptotic solution of Biot’s equation involves a complex eikonal function and its numerical implementation requires complex space-time ray tracing. Attenuation is represented by the imaginary part of the eikonal. Non-negativity of timeaveraged dissipation in time-periodic motions implies that ...
