Solution: y U Ay B

This document solves two problems regarding fluid flow between moving plates. For the first problem, it derives the velocity profile between the plates using boundary conditions and determines the location where velocity is zero. For the second problem, it calculates the shear stresses and forces on the upper and lower surfaces of one of the plates based on the velocity gradient and material properties.

Solution

(a)Fromhe statement of the problem, it is clear that the velocity is zero in between
the moving plates.
For 0  y  3 mm , let the velocity profile is
u  Ay  B
where A, and B are constants and their values are to be determined from the boundary
conditions as given below
(i) u  0.3 m/s at y  0
(ii) u  1.5 m/s at y  3 mm
From first boundary condition (i), we find
0.3  A  0  B
or B  0.3
From second boundary condition (ii), we get
1.5  A  0.003  B
or 1.5  0.003 A  0.3
or A  600
The velocity profile is
u  600 y  0.3
For zero velocity, we have
0  600 y  0.3
0.3
or y  0.0005 m  0.5 mm
600
(b)Let F1 and F2 be the shear forces on the lower surface and upper surface of the plate
moving at 1.5 m/s respectively.
From Newton’s law of viscosity, shear stress on the lower surface of the plate, 1 is given
by
du
1  
dy
 0.025  600  15N/m 2
Shear force on the lower surface of the plate is
F1  1 A  15  0.09  1.35N
For 3 mm  y  4 mm , the velocity gradient is found to be
du 1.5
  1500 per s (in consideration of a linear velocity
dy 0.001
profile)
Shear stress on the upper surface of the plate, 2 is given by
du
2  
dy
 0.025  1500  37.5N/m 2
Shear force on the upper surface of the plate is
F2  2 A  37.5  0.09  3.375 N
