Find: Derive an expression for shear rate in the liquid fills gap. Evaluate the torque on the driven cone in terms of the shear stress.

Problem 6.
Consider a Newtonian liquid (of viscosity μ and density ρ) in laminar flow down an inclined flat plate of length L and width W. The liquid flows as a
falling film with negligible rippling under the influence of gravity. End effects may be neglected because L and W are large compared to the film
thickness δ.

The nonzero stress tensor are τxz = τzx, which depend only on x.
Consider a thin rectangular slab (shell) perpendicular to the x-direction extending a distance W in the y-direction and a distance L in the z-
direction. A 'rate of z-momentum' balance over this thin shell of thickness Δx in the fluid is of the form:
Rate of z-momentum In − Out + Generation = Accumulation
At steady-state, the accumulation term is zero.
Momentum can go 'in' and 'out' of the shell by both the convective and molecular mechanisms.
Since vz(x) is the same at both ends of the system, the convective terms cancel out because (ρ vzvz W Δx) |z = 0 = (ρ vzvz W Δx) |z = L.
Only the molecular term (L W τxz ) remains to be considered, whose 'in' and 'out' directions are taken in the positive direction of the x-axis.
Generation of z-momentum occurs by the pressure force acting on the surface [pW Δx] and gravity force acting on the volume [(ρ g cos β) L W
Δx].

Where P is a modified pressure, which is the sum of both the pressure and gravity terms, that is, ΔP = Δp + ρ g L cos β. Here, β is the angle of
inclination of the z-axis with the vertical. Since the flow is solely under the influence of gravity, Δp = 0 and therefore ΔP/L = ρ g cos β. On
integration,
xz gx cos C1 (5)
On using the boundary condition at the liquid-gas interface (τxz = 0 at x = 0), the constant of integration C1 is found to be zero. This gives the
expression for the shear stress τxz for laminar flow in a falling film as

Problem 7.
Consider a fluid (of constant density ρ) in incompressible, laminar flow in a tube of circular cross section, inclined at an angle β to the vertical. End
effects may be neglected because the tube length L is relatively very large compared to the tube radius R. The fluid flows under the influence of
both a pressure difference Δp and gravity.
Using a differential shell momentum balance, determine expressions for the steady-state shear stress distribution and the velocity profile for a
Newtonian fluid (of constant viscosity μ).

Problem 9.
A plastic resin is in a vertical cylindrical vessel of radius R, which is rotating about its own axis at a constant angular velocity .
Solution:
Simplification of continuity equation:
In steady laminar flow, the fluid is expected to travel in a circular motion (low values of angular velocities). Only the tangential component of
velocity exists. The radial and axial components of velocity are zero; so, vr = 0 and vz = 0.
For an incompressible fluid, the continuity equation gives V=0
In cylindrical coordinates,
v
0 (1)
So, vθ= vθ (r, z).
If end effects are neglected, then vθ does not depend on z. Thus, vθ = vθ (r).

Problem 10.
A wire - coating die essentially consists of a cylindrical wire of radius κR moving horizontally at a constant velocity V along the axis of a
cylindrical die of radius R. If the pressure in the die is uniform, then the Newtonian fluid (of constant viscosity μ and constant density ρ) flows
through the narrow annular region solely by the drag due to the motion of the wire. Neglect end effects and assume an isothermal system.
(a) Establish the expression for the steady-state velocity profile in the annular region of the die.
Solution:
a) Shear stress and velocity distribution
The fluid flow is in the z-direction shearing constant-r surfaces. Therefore, the velocity component that exists is vz(r) and the shear stress
component is τrz(r).
A momentum balance in cylindrical coordinates gives
(r rz )r r (r rz )r P
r (1)

Since there is no pressure gradient and gravity does not play any role in the motion of the fluid, ΔP = 0. Equation (1) with the right-hand side set to
zero leads to the following expression for the shear stress distribution on integration:

The integration constants C1 and C2 are evaluated from the following no-slip boundary conditions:

BC 2: at r = κR, vz = V
From BC 1, C2 = (C1/μ) ln R. So, vz = (C1/μ) ln (R/r) and BC 2 yields C1 = − μV/ ln κ. On substituting the integration constants into equations (2) and (4),
the final expressions for the shear stress and velocity distribution are

Problem 11.
An isothermal, incompressible fluid of density ρ flows radially outward owing to a pressure difference between two fixed porous, concentric
spherical shells of radii κR and R. Note that the velocity is not zero at the solid surfaces. Assume negligible end effects and steady laminar flow in
the region κR ≤ r ≤ R.
Solution:
(a)Simplification of continuity equation
Since the steady laminar flow is directed radially outward, only the radial velocity component vr exists. The other two components of velocity are
zero; so, vθ = 0 and vφ = 0.
For incompressible flow, the continuity equation gives ∇.v = 0.
In spherical coordinates,

(r vr ) 0 (1)
r
On integrating the simplified continuity equation, r2 vr = f(θ, φ). There is no dependence expected on the angles θ and φ from symmetry
arguments. In other words, r2 vr = C, where C is a constant. This is simply explained from the fact that mass (or volume, if density ρ is constant) is
conserved; so, ρ (4 π r2 vr ) = w is constant and C = w/(4πρ).

Consider a fluid of constant (ρ and µ) between two concentric cylinders, as shown in the following figure. There is no axial motion or end effect,
vz / z 0 . Let the inner cylinder rotate at angular velocity i and the outer cylinder be fixed. There is circular symmetry, so the velocity does
not vary with θ and varies only with r. Find out the velocity profile.
