Flux Transformation Matrices

James C. Sutherland
Consider the n 1 dimensional transformations:

(j) = [ Bou ](ju ), (ju ) = [ Buo ](j),

(1) (2)

where [ Buo ] = [ Bou ]1 . In class, we derived an expression for [ Bou ]. Here we will derive the expression for [ Buo ]. Lets look at the expression for the mass diffusion ux relative to a molar-averaged velocity: ju i

= i ( u i u ), = i ( u i v ) + i ( v u ), = j i + i ( v u ).

(3)

Since our goal is to express ji in terms of ju , we have rearragned the expression for ju in terms of ji and j i another term: i (v u). Now lets see if we can use the expression for ji to eliminate the (u v) term from (3). Recall ji

= i ( u i v ).

(4)

This isnt useful to us since it has a ui in it. Note, however, that if we sum this, we obtain n=1 ji = 0. This i is also not useful. Recall we need a term like i (u v). Recall that u = n=1 xi ui . Look closely at (4). If we i multiply by xi /i then we have xi j = xi (ui v). i i Now if we sum this, we should get a u from the xi ui term:

i =1

ii ji ii ji
n

= xi ui v,
i =1

= ( u v ),
1 x

= u v.

(5)

i =1

Great! Now we are ready to return to equation (3). Substituting (5) into (3) gives ju i

= ji
