Question 1 (20 points, 20 minutes): Oil (SAE 30) at 15.6 °C flows steadily between the parallel plates in the figure due to gravity and the motion of the plate on the right at vi = 0.5 m/s rate. The pressure gain per unit length along the channel is 25 kPa/m, and the distance between the plates is 5 mm. Assume that the flow is laminar. a) State all boundary conditions for this flow. b) Simplify the continuity and 3D Navier-Stokes equations for this flow. c) Derive a symbolic expression for the velocity of the fluid in the channel. d) Where in the channel is the maximum velocity? Explain your result. y V 1 IN X х
