Problem 2 SAE-30W Oil (T=60C) flows between two parallel plates separated by a thin (2mm)
oil-filled gap. The flow is laminar and can be assumed to have a linear velocity distribution. The top plate is
moving towards the right at 4cms, and the bottom plate is moving towards the left at 2cms.
2.1 Sketch the velocity distribution u(y) between the plates.
2.2 What is the shape of the shear stress distribution between the plates?
2.3 What is the flowrate (magnitude and direction) of the oil per unit width? (m3s?m)
2.4 What is the magnitude of the force required to pull the top plate at constant speed if its underside area is
0.3m2? Include a free body diagram for the top plate.
