- Parallel laminar Flow Between Infinite Planes with a Manometer A Newtonian fluid with viscosity μf and density pf is contained between two infinite horizontal parallel planes (separated by a distance d as shown below). The fluid flows laminarly under the action of a pressure gradient and the velocity U of the upper plane (the bottom plane is fixed). A manometer (with fluid density pm and viscosity μm) is connected between two points L apart along the bottom plane and indicates a differential reading of Ah. Using the coordinate system depicted in the figure below, calculate the velocity distribution in terms of known variables by performing a shell balance. What value must U have so that the frictional drag force on the upper plate is zero?

- A pair of concentric glass cylinders, with diameters of 1 and 1.05 cm, respectively are held together in such a way that both annular ends are open to the flow of fluids. The pair of cylinders with its axis vertical are so placed that the open end is slightly below the surface of a reservoir of silicone oil at 25 deg. C. What is the expected height of the oil into the annular space between the cylinders? Take o=0.019 N/m and p=900 kg/m³.arrow_forward2. Consider a flow of liquid in a horizontal circular tube which is mobile. The flow in the tube is assumed to be fully developed and pressures at two ends are Po and PL.

When the inner cylinder is rotated at an angular velocity , it is found that one interface rises to a height H above the other. The gap between the cylinders is sufficiently thin (W<< R) that local Cartesian coordinates can be used, as shown on the right. (For clarity, the gap width is exaggerated on the left.) All of the following questions concern flow in the liquid, which is Newtonian with constant properties. g R+W Gas Ω Liquid R H y Enlargement of liquid-filled gap X W ΩR Fixed (a) Assuming steady, fully developed flow, determine Vx(y) in the liquid in terms of dp/dx. (At this point, dp/dx is unknown.) (b) Relate dIP/dx in the liquid to H. You can assume that the absolute pressure in the gas is nearly constant (P = Po) and that surface tension is negligible.
