Question
The distance between the two stationary parallel plates of a fluid is h. Both plates have width
W and length L. The fluid between the plates has a density of ρ and viscosity of μ. Suddenly a
force Fy is applied to the upper plate and it moves in the y-direction with a constant velocity of
?.
Derive the velocity profile equation that indicates velocity is a function of vertical distance z.

- 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? Sketch the velocity profile for this last case (i.e., zero frictional drag force on the upper plate). d Pf ༑ Ah Pm L Xarrow_forwardA falling-cylinder viscometer consists of a long vertical cylindrical tube (of radius R), capped at both ends, and a solid cylindrical slug (of radius KR). The system is sketched in Fig. 1. The slug is equipped with fins so that its axis coincides with that of the tube. One can observe the rate of descent of the slug in the cylindrical container when the latter is filled with fluid. The objective of this exercise is to find an equation that gives the viscosity of the fluid (assumed to be incompressible and Newtonian) in terms of the terminal velocity Vof the slug and of the various geometric quantities shown in Fig. 1. -KR Cylindrical slug descends with speed V through the liquid Liquid fills the cylindrical cavity Figure 1: Sketch of the falling-cylinder viscometer. d(rT,;) dir) - () AP r L with P(2) = p(2) + pgz (1.1) dr Here, AP is the (positive) dynamic pressure change over a generic length L, g is the magnitude of the gravitational field and p is the fluid density. c) Using the…arrow_forward1.23.* The Reynolds number, discussed in Chap. 6, is defined for a pipe as (velocity . diameter density) / viscosity.

An incompressible fluid of kinematic viscosity v = μ/p= 10-4 m²/s flows steadily through a circular pipe of diameter d = 10 cm. The pipe flow is fully developed. Friction Factor If the average velocity V is 2 m/s, is the flow laminar or turbulent? What is the value of the friction factor, f? If the pipe is perfectly smooth on its internal surface and V is 20 m/s, the pipe flow is turbulent (double check yourself). Evaluate its friction factor using the Moody chart below. Repeat (c) by numerically solving the Colebrook formula (using, for example, Matlab). Attach the source code you used. Suppose that the pipe internal surface is rough. Also suppose that increasing V up to 200 m/s yields no change in the value of f found in (a).
