You would like to know the thickness of a syrup film as itdrains at a rate of 1 gpm down a flat surface that is 6 in. wideand is inclined at an angle of 30º from the vertical. The syrup hasa viscosity of 100 cP and an SG of 0.9. In the laboratory, you havea fluid with a viscosity of 70 cP and an SG of 1.0 and a 1 ft wideplane inclined at an angle of 45º from the vertical.

(a) At what flow rate, in gpm, would the laboratory conditionssimulate the specified conditions?

(b) If the thickness of the film in the laboratory is 3 mm atthe proper flow rate, then what would the thickness of the film befor the 100 cP fluid at the specified conditions?
