 What is Transportiveness ?

For fluid flow, transportiveness describes the influence on the upstream node on the
4 downstream node. For zero Peclet number (pure diffusion), the isolines of constant PHI 2 CO3 U
(any field variable) around the node P are circular. The influence of PHI at P spreads
equally (for constant diffusivity) in all direction

How does convection affect diffusion

The key difference between convection and diffusion is that convection is the large
5 2 CO3 R
movement of a large mass of particles in the same direction through the fluid, whereas
diffusion is the movement of single particles and transfer of particle's momentum and
energy to other particles in the fluid
Define false diffusion.

6 False diffusion is a type of error observed when the upwind scheme is used to 2 CO3 U
approximate the convection term in convection–diffusion equations.

Explain Power law.

In statistics, a power law is a functional relationship between two quantities, where a

7 relative change in one quantity results in a proportional relative change in the other 2 CO3 R
quantity, independent of the initial size of those quantities: one quantity varies as a
power of another.

Explain Hybrid law.

A hybrid law degree combines online learning with more traditional teaching methods,

creating an affordable and accessible option for new students and professionals looking
to take their careers to the next level

State boundedness.

9 In linguistics, boundedness is a semantic feature that relates to an understanding of the 2 CO3 R

referential limits of a lexical item.

Define Peclet Number

14 The Peclet number is defined as Pe=uadL/D, where ua is the average velocity of the 2 CO3 R
flow, dL the characteristic length of the system perpendicular to the direction of the flow,
and D the diffusion coefficient of the particle or molecule of interest
