plates. The top plate is moving with a speed of u, and has a temperature of Te whereas the
bottom plate is fixed and has a temperature of Tw. In addition, a pressure gradient exists
along the length of the plate, in the direction of the flow. Determine the enthalpy profile.
Plot it with a suitable choice of numerical values
a. for a non-zero pressure gradient and
b. for zero pressure gradient
and compare the two profiles, commenting on the physical impact of the pressure gradient.
