A conveyer belt is installed in a process industry to move the product from bottom to top. An incompressible, viscous fluid is placed between the upper and lower belts to avoid the friction and cool down the surface of belt. The belts are aligned at an angle θ and moving in opposite direction with constant velocities V1 and V2, as shown in figure.

Question
A conveyer belt is installed in a process industry to move the product from bottom to top. An
incompressible, viscous fluid is placed between the upper and lower belts to avoid the friction and
cool down the surface of belt. The belts are aligned at an angle θ and moving in opposite direction
with constant velocities V1 and V2, as shown in figure. Assume the laminar flow with no pressure
gradient and gravity acting vertically downward. Calculate:
a. Velocity profile in the fluid
b. Volume flow rate between the belts
c. Shear force per unit area acting on bottom belt
Note: Enlist all the assumptions you have taken to solve the problem and clearly mention the
boundary conditions.
