tube 40.2 mm in diameter. The clearance, assumed uniform, is a film of SAE 30 oil at 20 C. What speed will
the cylinder ultimately reach?
Wshaft = rA = [(7850)(9.81)]](0.350)(x)(0.0400)2/4] = 33.87 N

dr = (0.0402 - 0.0400)/2 = 0.0001 m

r = p (dy I dr) = (0.440)(vT/0.0001) = 4400tIr
A = (70(4.00/100)(4) = 0.04398 m 2

33.87 = (4400vT)(0.04398)

vr = 0.1750 m/s

Air at 20 C forms a boundary layer near a solidwall, in which the velocity profile is sinusoidal (see Fig. 1-14).
The boundary-layer thickness is 7 mm and the peak velocity is 9 m/s. Compute the shear stress in the boundary
layer at y equal to (a) 0, (b) 3.5 mm, and (c) 7 mm.
r = p (dv I dy)

v = v, sin [gy/(26)]

dv I dy = [my max1(26)] cos [rry/(2(5)] = {(z)(9)/[(2)(0.007)11 cos {x.374(2)(0.007)11 = 2020 cos (224.4y)
Note: "224.4y" in the above equation is in radians.
r = (1.81 x 10-5)[2020 cos (224.4y)] = 0.03656 cos (224.4y)
(a) At y = 0, r = 0.03656 cos [(224.4)(0)] = 0.0366 Pa. (b) At y = 0.0035 m, r =
0.03656 cos [(224.4)(0.0035)] = 0.0259 Pa. (c) At y = 0.007 m, r = 0.03656 cos [(224.4)(0.007)] = 0.

A disk of radius r0 rotates at angular velocity co inside an oil bath of viscosity A, as shown in Fig. 1-15. Assuming
a linear velocity profile and neglecting shear on the outer disk edges, derive an expression for the viscous torque
on the disk.

A 35-cm-by-55-cm block slides on oil (p = 0.81 Pa s) over a large plane surface. What force is required to drag
the block at 3 m/s, if the separating oil film is 0.6 mm thick?
r = p (di/Mx) = (0.81)[3/(0.6/1000)1= 4050 N/m2

F = rA = (4050)[(1 -0)(a)1= 780 N

The 1.5-in (0.125-ft) gap between two large plane surfaces is filled with SAE 30 oil at 80 F
(p = 0.0063 lb s/ft2). What force is required to drag a very thin plate of 5-ft2 area between the surfaces at a
speed of 0.5 ft/s if this plate is equally spaced between the two surfaces?

r = p (dv/dx) = (0.0063)[0.5/(0.125/2)1= 0.0504 lb/ft2

Since there are two sides, Fre,uired = (2)(0.252), or 0.504 lb.

F = rA = (0.0504)(5) = 0.252 lb
