Life of Element in Fluid Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Life of Element of Fluid = (Size of Element)^2/Diffusion Coefficient of Flow
t = (D_El)^2/D_f
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Life of Element of Fluid - (Measured in Second) - Life of Element of Fluid is how long a fluid element retains its identity.
Size of Element - (Measured in Meter) - Size of Element is the size of Larger Elements broke into Smaller Elements.
Diffusion Coefficient of Flow - (Measured in Square Meter Per Second) - Diffusion Coefficient of Flow is Diffusion of respective Fluid into the Stream, where the fluid is subjected to flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Size of Element: 4E-05 Meter --> 4E-05 Meter No Conversion Required
Diffusion Coefficient of Flow: 0.876 Square Meter Per Second --> 0.876 Square Meter Per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (D_El)^2/D_f --> (4E-05)^2/0.876

Evaluating ... ...

t = 1.82648401826484E-09

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.82648401826484E-09 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.82648401826484E-09 ≈ 1.8E-9 Second <-- Life of Element of Fluid

What is Diameter of the Element?

Diameter of the Element is the Diameter of the flowing Fluid retaining its Identity in the Reactor, measured in the Laminar Behaviour, where larger elements will get broken into Smaller by Streching or Folding getting into range of microns.

What is Diffusion ?

Diffusion, process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.It is also known as the net movement of anything (for example, atoms, ions, molecules, energy) generally from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is driven by a gradient in Gibbs free energy or chemical potential.
