Q (5)

Answer: 0.277 N.s/m2

Q (6) A layer of water flows down an


inclined fixed surface with the velocity
profile shown in the figure.
Determine the magnitude and direction
of the shearing stress that the water
exerts on the fixed surface for U = 3
m/s and h = 0.1 m.
Answer: 6.72 x 10-2 N/m2, direction ?

Q (7) A 12-in.-diameter circular


plate is placed over a fixed bottom
plate with a 0.1-in. gap between
the two plates filled with glycerin
as shown in figure. Determine the
torque required to rotate the
circular plate slowly at 2 rpm. Assume that the velocity distribution in the
gap is linear and that the shear stress on the edge of the rotating plate is
negligible.
Answer: 0.0772 [Link]

Q (8) The space between two 6-in.-long concentric cylinders is filled with
glycerin (viscosity = 8.5 x 10-3 lb. s/ft2). The inner cylinder has a radius of 3
in. and the gap width between cylinders is 0.1 in. Determine the torque and
the power required to rotate the inner cylinder at 180 rev/min. The outer
cylinder is fixed. Assume the velocity distribution in the gap to be linear.

Answer: 0.944 [Link] , 17.8 [Link]/s
