Hello everyone!
1. Homework Statement
I want to model the irradiance on a fluid element while it is flowing, from a fixed(above or below) light source that has an irradiance that shows first order decay with time and from x-naught to x-infinity .
here are the assumptions:
-Laminar flow at fixed rate (in x-direction)
-fluid element in fixed y-value from light source (above or below, doesn't matter.
-reflection/scatter effects are insignificant
-flow is in a tube (differential irradiance in y-direction)
first order decay.
I would like some direction regarding the best approaches to model such a situation, and am comfortable with solving differential equations. Thank you so much!
