Assignment Transport Fenomena

This document provides instructions for Assignment 1 in CHE 522 - Transport Phenomena. It includes 3 problems regarding fluid flow and momentum transport: 1. Explain the boundary conditions used for fluid-solid, liquid-gas, and liquid-liquid interfaces in momentum transport. 2. Derive the shear stress distribution and velocity profile for laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in a plane narrow slit. 3. Derive the velocity profile vx as a function of y for steady, fully developed flow between two infinite parallel plates using the equations of motion and shell balance.

ASSIGNMENT 1 (OCTOBER 2017)

CHE 522 TRANSPORT PHENOMENA

1. Explain the boundary conditions used in momentum transport for fluid-solid, liquid-
gas and liquid-liquid interfaces.

2. A incompressible fluid of density is in laminar flow in a plane narrow slit of


length L and width W that formed by two flat parallel walls with a distance 2B apart.
End effects may be neglected because B << W << L. The fluid flows under the
influence of both a pressure difference p and gravity.

i. List your postulate and assumption.


ii. Establish the following expression for the steady-state shear stress distribution and
the velocity profile for a Newtonian fluid (of constant viscosity ) using equation
of motion in Appendix 1 (Table B5 and B6).

3. Consider the flow depicted in the schematic below. Flow takes place in the narrow
space between two very wide and very long plates. The flow i driven by an imposed
pressure, which is higher upstream (P0) than a distance L downstream (PL). The flow
is steady, well developed, and we are considering the region only far from all edges.
The fluid is an incompressible, Newtonian fluid. For full credit you will need to
correctly indicate the assumptions you used in arriving at your answers.
(a) Derive the distribution of the fluid, vx as a function y using equation of motion (Table
B5 and B6) and momentum shell balance equation.
