Can you solve for a, b, c, and d
An incompressible, viscous fluid (density , viscosity ) flows steadily between two parallel plates, separated by a distance h. The bottom plate is at rest and the top plate moves with a velocity u, parallel to the plates. In addition, there is a pressure gradient dpdx=-pL(pressure decreases from left to right uniformly).
a) Determine the velocity v of the fluid as a function of y.
Hint = integrate the equation dpdx=d2vdy2, and determine the two integration constants from the velocity boundary conditions at the plates.
b) Determine the shear stress (frictional force per area of a plate) on the bottom plate.
Hint ==dvdy at that plate.
c) Determine the volume flowrate.
Hint =Q=w0hvdy, where w is the width of the plates (along ?0 the z-axis).
d) For what value of u,Qn=t=0?
Can you solve for a , b , c , and d An
