2 A stationary fluid is placed between two parallel plates each having length L and width W and
separated by distance . The lower plate is set to motion with a constant velocity V in the +x
direction by the application of a constant fore F under steady-state conditions. Write shell
momentum balance equation to derive the Newtons law of Viscosity. Draw the shear stress and
velocity profiles.
3 For steady-state axial flow of an incompressible fluid through an annular region between two
coaxial cylinders of radii R and R , derive expressions for the momentum flux and velocity
distribution as shown below. Derive expression for the average velocity, mass flow rate and the
force exerted by fluid on the wetted surfaces.
