Laminar flow in a narrow slit (see Fig. 2B.3).?

(a) A Newtonian fluid is in laminar flow in a narrow slit formed by two parallel walls a distance 2B apart. It is understood that B p + pgh = p ? pgz.?

(b) What is the ratio of the average velocity to the maximum velocity for this flow??

(c) Obtain the slit analog of the Hagen-Poiseuille equation.?

(d) Draw a meaningful sketch to show why the above analysis is inapplicable if B = W.
