Question
(a)
A Newtonian fluid having a specific gravity of 0.95 and a kinematic viscosity of
4.2 x 10“m/s flows past a fixed surface as shown in Figure la. The “no-slip" condition
suggests that the velocity of the fluid at the fixed surface is zero. The fluid velocity
profile away from the fixed surface is given by the equation below:
и Зу 1,
U 28 2
where U is the constant maximum velocity and its value is 2 m/s. Given that the shear
stress developed at the fixed surface is 0.12 N/m², determine the thickness of the fluid,
d.

(b)
The clutch system shown in Figure 1b is used to transmit torque through a 3 mm thick
clutch oil film with µ = 0.38 Ns/m² between two identical 25 cm diameter disks. When
the driving shaft rotates at a speed of 100 rpm, the driven shaft is observed to be
stationary. Assuming a linear velocity profile for the oil film, determine the transmitted
torque and the power required.
