 For a fully developed laminar flow between two parallel flat plates

For a fully developed laminar flow between two parallel flat plates with no gravity effects (see figure): 1. Show that the momentum equation for steady-state flow with constant density and viscosity takes the form: dxdp=dy2d2Wx where p is the pressure, is the dynamic viscosity, and Wr is the velocity component in the x-direction parallel to the plates. 2- If the distance between the plates is 2y0 show that the velocity profile is given by: Wx(y)=23Wm[1(y0y)2] where Wm is the averaged velocity
