Question: A wire ( radius R 1 ) being coated with an insulating material is pulled at a velocity of V o through a long cylindrical

A wire (radius R1) being coated with an insulating material is pulled at a velocity of Vo through a long
cylindrical die (of radius R2) filled with an incompressible fluid (,). Obtain the velocity profile Vz(r)
inside the die and the power required to pull the wire. Due to highly viscous nature of the fluid, assume
the flow to be laminar, steady and incompressible. Also, neglect the end effects and neglect the
pressure gradient in the direction of flow delpdelz=0.
