CHAPTER 8
APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS
THE INTEGRAL METHOD
• Obtain approximate solutions when
(a) Exact solution is not available
(b) Form of the exact solution is not convenient to use
• Integral method is used in
(a) fluid flow
(b) heat transfer
(c) mass transfer

8.1 Integral Method Applications: Mathematical Simplification
• Differential formulation: Basic laws are satisfied at every point
• Integral formulation: Basic laws are satisfied in an average sense
• Mathematical simplification:
(a) Reduction of the number of independent variables and/or
(b) Reduction of the order of the governing differential equation
3
8.2 Procedure
(1) Integral formulation: Construct the heat-balance integral using one of two methods:
(a) Control volume formulation
• Select a finite control volume
• Apply conservation of energy
(b) Integration of the governing differential equation
• Write the heat equation
• Multiply through by an infinitesimal area dA of the control volume
4
• Integrate each term over the entire control volume
• Make use of Leibnitz’s rule to integrate the term

Each problem has its ownheat-balance integral

(2) Assumed temperature profile
• Not unique. Various possibilities: Example: polynomial for Cartesian coordinates
• Must satisfy boundary conditions
• Profile is expressed in terms of unknown parameter or variable
(3) Determination of the unknown parameter or variable
• Use the heat balance integral for the problem
6
8.3 Accuracy of the Integral Method
• Errors are acceptable
• Different assumed profile give different solutions and different errors
• Accuracy is not very sensitive to the form of the assumed profile
• Not possible to identify the most accurate integral solution
7
8.4 Application to Cartesian Systems
• Formulation of the heat-balance integral for each problem by two methods:
(a) Control volume formulation
(b) Integration of the governing differential equation

(4) Checking
Dimensional check: Equations (h) and (m) are dimensionally consistent.
Limiting check: If ,0q the temperature remains at the initial value. Setting 0)( tq in (g) gives Q = 0.
When this is substituted into (h) gives T (x,t) = 0
