Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 52P
The velocity profile for steady flow between parallel is parabolic and given by u = uc + ay2, where uc is the centerline velocity and y is the distance measured from the centerline. The plate spacing is 2b and the velocity is zero at each plate. Demonstrate that the flow is rotational. Explain why your answer is correct even though the fluid doesn’t rotate but moves in straight parallel paths.

SAE-10 oil at 20 deg C fills the gap between the moving 6 cm diameter long cylinder which is inside a fixed outer cylinder 6.8 cm diameter. Calculate the pressure gradient per unit length needed so the shear stress on the outer cylinder is exactly equal to zero when the inner cylinder is moving with velocity V=4 m/s in the negative z-direction. Assume laminar flow. The viscosity of the oil is 99.2 cp. Express your result in kPa/m and round your numerical answer to a whole number
O Consider a steady, incompressible flow between two parallel plates. The top plate at a
temperature T1 (in K) is moved to the right at U1 and the bottom plate at temperature T, is kept at
rest. Assuming that temperature distribution between the two plates is approximated by a linear
relation, and that coefficient of viscosity µ = C T/2, calculate how the velocity varies between
the plates. Assume there are no gradients in the x direction.
