This article explores the role of time in thermofluids and presents three selected problems that can be solved using finite-order ordinary differential equations (FO-ODEs). The problems include designing thermometers, modeling particle movement in fluids, and developing primitive models for space vehicles. The article also discusses the basic ideas and techniques involved in developing FO-ODE models and conducting parametric analyses. The text language is English.

Three Selected problems fit for FO-ODE • Development of a design model for thermometers. • Development of Travel model for minute particles in a fluid : Principle of Momentum Transfer. • Development of primitive models for Space Vehicles: Principles of Chemical Reaction & Momentum Transfer.
Separable First Order Differential Equations • A first-order ODE is separable if it can be written in the form where the function v(y) is independent of x and u(x) is independent of y. Homogeneous first order ODE: Inhomogeneous first order ODE:
Basic Ideas for Development of FO-ODE Model • Collection of all possible or known integrals for both left and right hand side. • Collect all known laws of nature for the thermofluid system under study. • Develop suitable assumptions or approximations to fit for a solvable FO-ODE. • Find the solution. • Carry out a parametric analysis.
Design of Thermometers in Thermofluids Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics • Every system in this universe spontaneously move towards equilibrium with its surroundings. • If A and C are in thermal equilibrium with B, then A is in thermal equilibrium with C. Maxwell [1872] • Design Rule: • Every thermal instrument must be designed to reach thermal equilibrium with the system as fast as possible. • Independent variable : time t • Dependent variable : Temperature T • Engineering Mathematics: Obtain a suitable ODE for this application.

Important Applications of Particle Movement in A Field • What is the effect of gravity on the movement of a monocyte in blood? • How does sedimentation vary with the size of the sediment particles? • How rapidly do enzyme-coated beads move in a bioreactor? • What electric field is required to move a charged particle in electrophoresis? • What g force is required to centrifuge cells in a given amount of time?
Stokes Flow • In a remarkable 1851 scientific paper, Sir G. G. Stokes first derived the basic formula for the drag of a sphere. Derived a simple formula for drag using above velocity field. CD Re • The formula is strictly valid only for Re << 1 but agrees with experiment up to about Re = 1.

Requirements to REACH An ORBIT • For a typical launch vehicle headed to an orbit, aerodynamic drag losses are in the order of 100 to 500 m/sec. • Gravitational losses are larger, generally ranging from 700 to 1200 m/sec depending on the shape of the trajectory to orbit. • By far the largest term is the equation for the space velocity increment. • The lowest altitude where a stable orbit can be maintained, is at an altitude of 185 km.
Geostationary orbit • A circular geosynchronous orbit in the plane of the Earth's equator has a radius of approximately 42,164 km from the center of the Earth. • A satellite in such an orbit is at an altitude of approximately 35,786 km above mean sea level. • It maintains the same position relative to the Earth's surface. • If one could see a satellite in geostationary orbit, it would appear to hover at the same point in the sky. • Orbital velocity is 11,066 km/hr= 3.07 km/sec.
