 Two concentric cylindrical tubes placed inside each other are used as

Two concentric cylindrical tubes placed inside each other are used as thin film reactor. The liquid climbing up between the two cylinders (annulus) flows down as a thin film from the inner walls of the inner tube and reacts at their interface with the gas flowing from the center of the inner tube (Fig. Q1.1). Fig. Q1.1 Outer tube: 1 inch Sch 40 stainless steel(1.315 inch/0.133 inch) Inner tube: 1/2 inch Sch 40 stainless steel( 0.840inch/0.109inch) Considering the system given in Fig. Q1.1, a) In which position and where should you place the control volume in order to find the velocity distribution within the liquid film? Show on the film flow. b) Schematically plot velocity and shear stress distributions for the liquid film flow on the Fig. Q1.1. c) Show the interfaces and write boundary conditions, explaining the reasons basing on molecular interactions for the film flow
