as heat transfer through the duct wall at the same rate and disregarding any
changes in chemical composition. This simplified problem is still too com-
plicated for an elementary treatment of the topic since the flow may involve
friction, variations in duct area, and multidimensional effects. In this sec-
tion, we limit our consideration to one-dimensional flow in a duct of con-
stant cross-sectional area with negligible frictional effects.
Consider steady one-dimensional flow of an ideal gas with constant spe-
cific heats through a constant-area duct with heat transfer, but with negligible
friction. Such flows are referred to as Rayleigh flowsafter Lord Rayleigh
(1842–1919). The conservation of mass, momentum, and energy equations
for the control volume shown in Fig. 17–51 can be written as follows:

x-Momentum equationNoting that the frictional effects are negligible
and thus there are no shear forces, and assuming there are no external
and body forces, the momentum equation
in the flow (or x-) direction becomes a balance between static pressure
forces and momentum transfer. Noting that the flows are high speed
and turbulent, the momentum flux correction factor is approximately 1
(b1) and thus can be neglected. Then,

Energy equationThe control volume involves no shear, shaft, or other
forms of work, and the potential energy change is negligible. If the rate
of heat transfer is Q

Therefore, the stagnation enthalpy h 0 and stagnation temperature T 0
change during Rayleigh flow (both increase when heat is transferred to
the fluid and thus qis positive, and both decrease when heat is trans-
ferred from the fluid and thus qis negative).
Entropy changeIn the absence of any irreversibilities such as friction,
the entropy of a system changes by heat transfer only: it increases with
heat gain, and decreases with heat loss. Entropy is a property and thus
