Question: Air flows radially outward between the two parallel circular plates shown in Fig. P3.54. The pressure at the outer radius (R_{o}=) (5.0 mathrm{~cm}) is atmospheric.

Air flows radially outward between the two parallel circular plates shown in Fig. P3.54. The pressure at the outer radius \(R_{o}=\) \(5.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) is atmospheric. Find the pressure at the inner radius \(R_{i}=\) \(0.5 \mathrm{~cm}\) if the air density is constant, the air flow is inviscid, the volume flow rate is \(4.0 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{s}\), and the plate spacing is \(h=0.125 \mathrm{~cm}\).
