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 dvdy=0 at y=0.]
PLEASE solve/workout for 1-3 on a sheet of PAPER!
1. derive the equation for the velocity profile (separate,integrate, and simply)
2. derive the equation for the average velocity
3. derive the equation for flow rate, Q
Ans. vx=p0-pL2Ly02|1-(yY0)2|
