3. Consider a viscous flow between two flat plates separated by a distance H. The bottom plate is
located at y = 0 and moves to the right with speed Uplate. The top plate is located at y = H and
moves to the left with speed 2Uplate. The pressure in the flow is constant. The fluid between the
plates has dynamic viscosity μ. Assume that the flow is steady, incompressible, fully-developed, two

of mass and momentum equations:
a. Derive an equation for the velocity between the plates in terms of Uplate, H, and y.
b. Determine the average velocity between the plates in terms of Uplate and H.
