Topic 1: Viscosity & Shear Stress
- 1. Find Clearance (dy): The gap is 30 mm, and the plate is 1.8 mm thick. The clearance on one side is: (30 mm – 1.8 mm) / 2 = 14.1 mm = 0.0141 m.
- 2. Shear Stress (τ):
τ = μ(dv/dy) = 3 × (0.12 / 0.0141) = 25.53 N/m² - 3. Viscous Force (Fv): Acts on both sides of the plate (Area = 1.8 × 1.8 = 3.24 m²).
Fv = 2 × τ × A = 2 × 25.53 × 3.24 = 165.43 N - 4. Total Force & Power:
F = Fv + Weight = 165.43 + 60 = 225.43 N
Power = F × v = 225.43 × 0.12 = 27.05 W
