Consider the steady flow between two flat plates. The plates are 10 cm apart and the width of the channel is 10 cm. Water is the working fluid. The flow velocity varies linearly from zero at the bottom plate to 10 m/s at the top plate. (This general class of flows is known as Couette Flow). Determine the total mass flow and momentum per unit time crossing an imaginary plane across the channel.

A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at T2 = 600 K and T1 = 350 K. It takes in 1 000 J of energy from the higher-temperature reservoir and performs 250 J of work. Find (a) the entropy change of the Universe delta SU for this process and (b) the work W that could have been done by an ideal Carnot engine operating between these two reservoirs. (c) Show that the difference between the amounts of work done in...

A parallel plate air capacitor with no dielectric between the plates is connected to a constant voltage source. How would the capacitance and the charge change if a dielectric of dielectric constant K=2 is inserted between the plates. C0 and Q0 are the capacitance and charge of the capacitor before the introduction of the dielectric.

Consider two-dimensional incompressible plane viscous flow between parallel plates a distance 2h apart, with the origin along the centerline. The plates are very wide and very long, so that the flow is essentially axial. The present case is where the upper plate moves at velocity V but there is no pressure gradient. Neglect gravity effects. Determine the velocity profile for this flow.
