Calculate the power required per meter of width of stream to force lubricating oil through the gap

Question:

Calculate the power required per meter of width of stream to force lubricating oil through the gap between two horizontal flat plates under the following conditions:

Distance between plates, 6 mm

Flow rate of oil per meter of width, 100 m3/h

Viscosity of oil, 25 cP

Density of oil, 0.88 g/cm3

Length of plates, 3 m

Assume that the plates are very wide in comparison with the distance between them and that end effects can be neglected.
