# 0.6 Solution of the partial differential equations  (Page 13/13)

 Page 13 / 13

This solution is admissible in that the velocity in nondecreasing in going from the $BC$ to the $IC$ . However, it in not unique . Several values of $S2$ will give admissible solutions. Suppose that the value shown here is $\mathbf{a}$ solution. Also suppose that dispersion across the shock causes the presence of other values of $S$ between $S1$ and $S2$ . There are some values of $S$ that will have a velocity (slope) greater than that of the shock shown here. These values of $S$ will overtake $S2$ and the shock will go the these values of $S$ . This will continue until there is no value of S that has a velocity greater than that of the shock to that point. At this point the velocity of the saturation value and that of the shock are equal. On the graphic construction , the cord will be tangent to the curve at this point. This is the unique solution in the presence of a small amount of dispersion.

Composition (Saturation) Profile The composition (saturation) profile is the composition distribution existing in the system at a given time.

Composition or Flux History : The composition or flux appearing at a given point in the system, e.g., $x=1$ .

## Summary of equations

The dimensionless velocity that a saturation value propagates is given by the following equation.

${\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)}_{dS=0}=\frac{df}{dS}\left(S\right)$

With uniform initial and boundary conditions, the origin of all changes in saturation is at $x=0$ and $t=0$ . If $f\left(S\right)$ depends only on $S$ and not on $x$ or $t$ , then the trajectories of constant saturation are straight line determined by integration of the above equation from the origin.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill x\left(S\right)& =& {\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)}_{dS=0}t=\frac{df}{dS}\left(S\right)\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}t\hfill \\ \hfill x\left(\Delta S\right)& =& {\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)}_{\Delta S}t\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}=\frac{\Delta f}{\Delta S}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}t\hfill \end{array}$

These equations give the trajectory for a given value of $S$ or for the shock. By evaluating these equations for a given value of time these equations give the saturation profile .

The saturation history can be determined by solving the equations for $t$ with a specified value of $x$ , e.g. $x=1$ .

$\begin{array}{c}t\left(\Delta S\right)=\frac{x}{\frac{\Delta f}{\Delta S}},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}x=1\\ t\left(S\right)=\frac{x}{\frac{df}{dS}\left(S\right)},\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{1.em}{0ex}}x=1\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\end{array}$

The breakthrough time , ${t}_{BT}$ , is the time at which the fastest wave reaches $x=1.0$ . The flux history (fractional flow history) can be determined by calculating the fractional flow that corresponds to the saturation history.

## Summary of diagrams

The relationship between the diagrams can be illustrated in a diagram for the trajectories. The profile is a plot of the saturation at $t={t}_{o}$ . The history at $x=1.0$ is the saturation or fractional flow at $x=1$ . In this illustration, the shock wave is the fastest wave. Ahead of the shock is a region of constant state that is the same as the initial conditions.

Application of nanotechnology in medicine
what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
