4.4-2. Shell Momentum Balance for Flow Between Parallel Plates. A fluid of constant density is flowing in laminar flow at steady state in the horizontal x direction between two flat and parallel plates. The distance between the two plates in the vertical y direction is 2y0. Using a shell momentum balance, derive the equation for the velocity profile within this fluid and the maximum velocity for a distance Lm in the x direction. [Hint: See the method used in Section 4.4B to derive Eq.(4.4-9). One boundary condition used is dvxdy=0 at y=0.]
