Consider the system shown below, which is used to coat wires with a polymer layer. A wire is pulled at a constant velocity U through the center of a circular pipe filled with a polymeric solution. Additionally, there is a pressure difference (i.e. drop) across the length L of the wire. The coordinate system and geometry are defined below.
a. List the relevant components of the total momentum flux and express them in terms of their non-zero molecular and convective momentum flux terms.
b. What are the boundary conditions for the problem shown above?
c. Obtain and expression for the relevant velocity components and sketch the velocity profile.
d. Obtain an expression for the stress and shear force acting on the surface of the wire.
