Question: ( 2 0 points ) As shown below, the plane Poiseuille flow is a pressure - driven flow in a horizontal parallel - plate channel

(20 points) As shown below, the plane Poiseuille flow is a pressure-driven flow in a horizontal parallel-plate channel with wall spacing H and width W. Assuming that the flow is steady with a mean velocity u, the local velocity is found to be
vx(y)=6u[(yH)-(yH)2],vy=vz=0
(a) Express the friction force/unit area on the lower surface of flow by the lower plate in terms of a component of stress. Use T=(gradv+gradvT).(b) Evaluate the difference between the average pressures at surface S3 and S4.
( 2 0 points ) As shown below, the plane
