3) An infinite plate is moved over a second plate on a layer of liquid as shown. For small gap
width, d, we assume a linear velocity distribution in the liquid. The liquid viscosity is 0.65 centipoise
and its specific gravity is 0.88.
Determine:
(a) The absolute viscosity of the liquid, in lbf.s/ft2.
(b) The kinematic viscosity of the liquid, in m2/s.
(c) The shear stress on the upper plate, in lbf/ft2.
(d) The shear stress on the lower plate, in Pa.
(e) The direction of each shear stress calculated in parts (c) and (d).

4) A velocity field is specified as 𝑉
coordinates are measured in meters. Is the flow field one-, two-, or three dimensional? Why?
Calculate the velocity components at the point (2, 1/2). Develop an equation for the streamline
passing through this point. Plot several streamlines in the first quadrant including the one that
passes through the point (2, 1/2).

⃗ = Bx(1+At) 𝑖̂ + Cy 𝑗̂, with A = 0.5 S-1 and


5) Consider the flow described by the velocity field 𝑉

passes through the point (1, 1) at time t = 0. Compare with the streamlines plotted through the same
point at the instants t = 0, 1, and 2 s.

6) The velocity distribution for laminar flow between parallel plates is given by

Where, h is the distance separating the plates and the origin is placed midway between the plates.
Consider a flow of water at 15o C with umax = 0.10 m/s and h = 0.1 mm. Calculate the shear stress on
the upper plate and give its direction. Sketch the variation of shear stress across the channel.

7) Magnet wire is to be coated with varnish for insulation by drawing it through a circular die
of 1.0 mm diameter. The wire diameter is 0.9 mm and it is centered in the die. The varnish (μ = 20
centipoise) completely fills the space between the wire and the die for a length of 50 mm. The wire
is drawn through the die at a speed of 50 m/s. Determine the force required to pull the wire.

8) Small gas bubbles form in soda when a bottle or can is opened. The average bubble
diameter is about 0.1 mm. Estimate the pressure difference between the inside and outside of such
a bubble.
