Chapter 5, Problem 73P
Assume the liquid film in Example 5.9 is horizontal (i.e., θ = 0°) and that the flow is driven by a constant shear stress on the top surface (y = h), τyx = C. Assume that the liquid film is thin enough and flat and that the flow is fully developed with zero net flow rate (flow rate Q = 0). Determine the velocity profile u(y) and the pressure gradient dp=dx.

Hi. Kindly assist with this Fluid Mechanics question.Please answer correctly and show all the steps
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
An incompressible fluid (kinematic viscosity =7.4x10-7 m2/s, specific gravity=0.88) is held between two parallel plates. If the top plate is moved with a velocity of 0.5 m/s while the bottom one is held stationary the fluid attains a linear velocity profile in the gap of 0.5 mm between these plates,find the shear stress in Pascal on the surface of top plate.
