Concept explainers
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.

- 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.arrow_forwardAn oil film of thickness 1.5 mm is used for lubrication between asquare plate of size 0.9 m × 0.9 m and an inclined plane having anangle of inclination 200.

- A viscous and incompressible fluid with a density of p is flowing steadily between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 2h. At section 1, the velocity, U., is uniform, while the velocity distribution at section 2 is assumed to be linear. The flow is identical in all planes, which are parallel to the xy- plane. The pressures at sections 1 and 2 are p₁ and p₂, respectively. Determine a) the maximum velocity at section 2 and b) the drag force exerted on the plates.
