5.73 Assume the liquid film in Example 5.9 is horizontal (i.e.,
0 = 0°) and that the flow is driven by a constant shear stress
on the top surface (y= h), Tyx= C. Assume that the liquid
film is thin enough and flat and that the flow is fully devel-
oped with zero net flow rate (flow rate Q= 0). Determine the
velocity profile u(y) and the pressure gradient dp/dx.

A viscous fluid flows between two parallel and infinitely large plates kept at a distance 2h from each other. The upper plate is at y = h and the lower plate is at y = - h. The considered
fluid flows mono directionally along the x-direction under a constant pressure gradient K = -dP/dx. The transverse profile of velocity is given by :
U(y) = K (h² - y²)
U (y) = (h-y)
U(y) = (h² - y²)
U(y) = (y²)
U(y) = K (h-y)

5. A linear velocity profile is formed in a fluid between two plates as shown in the figure when
one of the plates is moved parallel to the other and there is no externally imposed pressure
gradient (i.e. there is no pump). If the top plate is travels at U = 0.3 m/s and the bottom
plate is held fixed and the two plates are separated by a distance d = 0.3 m/s, derive an
equation for the velocity profile u(y). Assume that the fluid in contact with either plate
moves at the same speed as the plate (this is called the no-slip condition).
U=0.3 m/s
d=0.3 m
