• Using Fig. 2 we can write equation (5) as:
𝜕Γ(∆z.1)
(𝜓𝑧 │z).1 + 𝑅 Δ𝑧. 1 = (𝜓𝑧 │z + ∆z).1 + (6)
𝜕𝑡
• Dividing equation (6) by ∆z and letting ∆z tend to zero,
we have
𝜕Γ 𝜕𝜓𝑧
• + = R (7)
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑧
• Substituting equation (2) for 𝜓𝑧 into equation (7) and
assuming δ is constant, we have
𝜕Γ 𝜕 𝑑Γ
• - δ = R
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑧 𝑑𝑧
𝜕Γ 𝜕2 Γ
• That is - 𝛿 2 = R (8)
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑧
• If rate of generation, R, is zero, then
𝜕Γ 𝜕2 Γ
• = 𝛿 2 (9)
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑧
• Equation (9) relates Γ to z and t.
4. Molecular Momentum Transport and
Newton’s Law
• When a fluid is flowing in the x- direction parallel
to a solid surface, a velocity gradient exits where
the velocity vx in the x-direction decreases as it
approaches the surface in the z-direction. This is
illustrated in Fig. 3 below.
