- We consider a laminar flow induced by an impulsively started infinite flat plate. The y-axis is normal to the plate. The x- and z-axes form a plane parallel to the plate. The plate is defined by y = 0. For time t <0, the plate and the flow are at rest. For t≥0, the velocity of the plate is parallel to the 2-coordinate; its value is constant and equal to uw. At infinity, the flow is at rest. The flow induced by the motion of the plate is independent of z. (a) From the continuity equation, show that v=0 everywhere in the flow and the resulting momentum equation is მu Ət Note that this equation has the form of a diffusion equation (the same form as the heat equation). (b) We introduce the new variables T, Y and U such that T=kt, Y=k/2y, U = u where k is an arbitrary constant. In the new system of variables, the solution is U(Y,T). The solution U(Y,T) is expressed by a function of Y and T and the solution u(y, t) is expressed by a function of y and t. Show that the functions are identical.…arrow_forwardPart A: Suppose you wanted to drill a 1.5 in diameter hole through a piece of 1020 cold-rolled steel that is 2 in thick, using an HSS twist drill.
