ATTENTION ME 341 FLUID MECHANICS Take-home Assignment Due Sunday 17.00 pm. (Jan 07, 2024) COPY-PASTE SOLUTIONS TAKEN FROM THE SOLUTION MANUAL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED !!! YOU HAVE TO SHOW ALL THE STEPS 2. Oil (=0.38 N.s/m) flows between parallel plates spaced 5 mm apart. The bottom plate is fixed, but the upper plate moves with a velocity of 0.2 m/s in the positive x direction. The pressure gradient is 60 kPa/m and it is negative. Assume laminar flow. a. List the assumptions (12 P) b Coordinate system is located at bottom ATTENTION b. Using the Continuity eq., show that velocity is only a function of y (8P) c. Using only the x-component of NSE, find an expression for the u-velocity (20 P) d. Apply boundary conditions to velocity and find c and c (20 P) e. Using the given values in the problem, obtain the u-velocity equation as a function of y only (10 P) ATTENTION After you solve the above parts, now solve the following parts. [FIRST, you have to solve from a) to e). Otherwise you won't be graded!] f. Plot the velocity profile using 10 different values of y (ranging from 0 to 5 mm) (10 P) g. Find the location at which velocity is maximum at which u-velocity gradient with respect to y is zero (10 P) h. Calculate the flow rate, Q (10 P) Moving plate Fixed plate ATTENTION ME 341 FLUID MECHANICS Take-home Assignment Due Sunday 17.00 pm.
