Analyze the flow between two plates of Fig. 1-15 by assuming the fluid is a de Waele power-law fluid as in Eq. (1-31a). Compute (a) the velocity profile u(y) with the power n as a parameter and (b) the velocity at the midpoint h/2 for n = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0. Answer: (b) u = V/2 for all cases 1-16.

- In deriving the continuity equation, we assumed, for simplicity,that the mass fl ow per unit area on the left face wasjust ρ u . In fact, ρ u varies also with y and z , and thus it mustbe different on the four corners of the left face. Account forthese variations, average the four corners, and determinehow this might change the inlet mass fl ow from ρ u dy dz .arrow_forwardA potential steady and incompressible air flow on x-y plane has velocity in y-direction v= - 6 xy .
