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.

An incompressible fluid flows between two infinite stationary parallel plates. The velocity profile
is given by u =umax (Ay² + By + C), where A, B, and C are constants and y is measured upward
from the lower plate. The total gap width is h. Use appropriate boundary conditions to express the
constants in terms of h. Develop an expression for volume flow rate per unit depth and evaluate the
ratio V/umax.

The venturi reduces the pressure to draw fuel from a reservoir chamber and to mix with the airstream as shown in the figure. The energy loss of the metering line is given by hL= (K*V^2)/2where K = 6.0 and V is the fuel velocity in the metering line. Assume that the air is an ideal fluid (68°F). Calculate the mass flux of air and the mass flux of fuel.
