A liquid layer separates two plane surfaces as shown. The lower surface is stationary; the upper surface moves downward at constant speed V. The moving surface has width w, perpendicular to the plane of the diagram, and w >> L. The incompressible liquid layer, of density ρ, is squeezed from between the surfaces. Assume the flow is uniform at any cross section and neglect viscosity as a first approximation. Use a suitably chosen control volume to show that u = Vx/b within the gap, where b = b0 − Vt. Obtain an algebraic expression for the acceleration of a fluid particle located at x. Determine the pressure gradient, ∂p/∂x, in the liquid layer. Find the pressure distribution, p(x). Obtain an expression for the net pressure force that acts on the upper (moving) flat surface.

- A cylinder of mass m slides down from rest in a vertical tube whose inner surface is covered by a viscous oil of film thickness h. If the diameter and height of the cylinder are D and L, respectively, derive an expression for the velocity of the cylinder as a function of time, t. Discuss what will happen as t → ∞. Can this device serve as a viscometer?arrow_forwardOnce it has been started by sufficient suction, the siphon in the Fig. will run continuously as long as reservoir fluid available. Using Bernoulli's equation with no losses, show (a) that the exit velocity V2 depends only on gravity and the distance H and (b) that the lowest vacuum pressure occurs at point 3 and depends on the distance L+Harrow_forwardPiston A has a cross-section of 1,200 cm^2 while that of piston B is 950 cm^2 with the latter higher than piston A by 1.75 m. If the intervening passages are filled with oil (s= 0.8), what is the difference in pressure between A and B?arrow_forward

The axis of the cylinder is perpendicular to the distraction of flow.

If we exclude losses and assume that the pressure at the centerline of section 1 is 110 kPa, we can estimate that the (a) the mass flow measured in kilograms per second (kg/s), and (b) the height, measured in meters, of the fluid in the stagnation tube.arrow_forward6.36 This two-dimensional water (at 50°F) jet is deflected by the two-dimensional vane, which is moving to the right with a speed of 60 ft/s. The initial jet is 0.30 ft thick (vertical dimension), and its speed is 100 ft/s. What power per foot of the jet (normal to the page) is transmitted to the vane?
