Question: A viscous fluid flows steadily (no time dependence) in the z direction, with the flow confined between two plates that are parallel to the x-z
A viscous fluid flows steadily (no time dependence) in the z direction, with the flow confined between two plates that are parallel to the x-z plane and are separated by a distance 2a. Show that the flow’s velocity field is
![Vz= N || dP a dz 2n [-9)]. a (13.82a)](https://dsd5zvtm8ll6.cloudfront.net/si.experts.images/questions/2023/05/6451058a0e5f3_433645105899affa.jpg)
and the mass flow rate (the discharge) per unit width of the plates is

Here dP/dz (which is negative) is the pressure gradient along the direction of flow.
Vz= N || dP a dz 2n [-9)]. a (13.82a)
