Assume the liquid film in Example 5.9 is not isothermal, but instead has the following distribution:
where T0 and Tw are, respectively, the ambient temperature and the wall temperature. The fluid viscosity decreases with increasing temperature and is assumed to be described by

Example 5.9 ANALYSIS OF FULLY DEVELOPED LAMINAR FLOW DOWN AN INCLINED PLANE SURFACE
A liquid flows down an inclined plane surface in a steady, fully developed laminar film of thickness h. Simplify the continuity and Navier–Stokes equations to model this flow field. Obtain expressions for the liquid velocity profile, the shear stress distribution, the volume flow rate, and the average velocity. Relate the liquid film thickness to the volume flow rate per unit depth of surface normal to the flow. Calculate the volume flow rate in a film of water h = 1 mm thick, flowing on a surface b = 1 m wide, inclined at θ = 15° to the horizontal.

Assume the shear area between the fluid layers is 0.5m². To do this you required to explain, with examples, the effects of temperature and shear forces on Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. Also, explain the operation and constraints of different viscometers that quantify viscosity in fluids. 2.arrow_forwardProblem 1: A cone-plate viscometer is a device used to measure a fluid's viscosity. The torque M required to turn a cone-plate viscometer depends on the angular velocity, the radius R, the cone angle and the viscosity of the test fluid μ: M = f(Q,R,0,µ) (it is assumed that inertial effect is negligible; thus the torque does not depend on the fluid's density).

- Tutorial Problem #3. As we discussed in lecture, a concentric cylinder viscometer is often used to measure the viscosity (μ) of Newtonian fluids. As shown in the accompanying figure, the outer cylinder (with radius Ro) remains stationary while the inner cylinder (with radius R₁) rotates at an angular velocity of w (rev/min) and the torque (T) required to rotate the inner cylinder is measured. Outer Cylinder Fluid Inner Cylinder T ω R₁ R a. Starting from Newton's law of viscosity, derive the correct equation that is used to calculate u in μ terms of w, T, Ro, R₁ and € (the height of the fluid in the gap between the two cylinders). Because the radial distance between the cylinders (i.e Ro - R₁) is quite small, you can assume that the velocity profile of the fluid varies linearly with respect to distance between the cylinders.
