5.7.1. Phasic Equations

The multiphase version of the total energy equation generalizes Equation 1–85:

(5–119)

The multiphase version of the thermal energy equation for static enthalpy (incompressible and low speed compressible flows only) generalizes Equation 1–92:

(5–120)

where:

  • , , , denote the static enthalpy, the temperature, and the thermal conductivity of phase .

  • represents the internal energy of phase , although the variable is still called Static Enthalpy in CFD-Post.

  • describes external heat sources. For details, see Sources.

  • denotes interphase heat transfer to phase across interfaces with other phases. For details, see Inhomogeneous Interphase Heat Transfer Models.

  • The term

    (5–121)

    represents heat transfer induced by interphase mass transfer. For details, see Interphase Mass Transfer.
