Problem: Write the shell momentum balance for flow between two parallel plates, top of which is
moving at constant velocity “V” while the bottom plate is stationary. The distance between two plates
is h.
Problems: 2B1, 2B2, (Page 63), 2B3 (Page 63), 2B7 (page 64). Problems screen shots are given

Problem: Three parallel plates are separated by two fluids. The bottom plate, plate 1 is at rest.
Water of Viscosity 0.8 Cp at 30o C lies between plates 1 and 2, while toluene, viscosity 0.52 Cp
lies between plate 2 and 3. The distance between each pair of plates is 10 cm. Plate 3 moves at
3 m/s. Find the velocity of plate 2 at steady state. Also, determine the force per unit area on plate
3 required to maintain the velocity at 3 m/s
