Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 73P
Assume the liquid film in Example 5.9 is horizontal (i.e., θ = 0°) and that the flow is driven by a constant shear stress on the top surface (y = h), τyx = C. Assume that the liquid film is thin enough and flat and that the flow is fully developed with zero net flow rate (flow rate Q = 0). Determine the velocity profile u(y) and the pressure gradient dp=dx.

A Newtonian fluid with viscosity (Mu) flows upward at a steady rate between two parallel plates that make an angle y with the horizontal. The fluid thickness h is much smaller than the width of the channel W. The
pressures at each end, P(0) and P(L), are known and the pressure variations in the y-direction are small. Assume that Vy and Vz = 0 and Vx is a function of y alone. Use the shell balance to approach :
