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)


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)
