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 laminar flow of a fluid with viscosity µ and density ρ in a circular pipe of radius R has a velocity distribution described by where UCL is the velocity on the centerline where r = 0.
