Determinacin de viscosidad de gases y lquidos

Problema 1
Se est empujando la placa inferior a una velocidad relativa 0.40 m/s mayor que la placa superior. El fluido
que se usa es agua a 24 C.
a) Qu tan separadas deben colocarse las placas para que el esfuerzo cortante sea 0.30 N/m2? Calcule

placas y la misma velocidad que en el inciso a), cules son el esfuerzo cortante y la velocidad cortante?
Problem A
Two horizontal plates are placed 5 cm apart. The space is filled with a high-viscosity lubricating oil (100
poise). The bottom plate is stationary and the upper plate moves at a velocity of 0.8 m/ s. Considering an area
of 0.01 m2 located far from any edges find the force (in units of newtons), the shear stress, and the momentum
flux (N/m2 ).
Problem B
In Problem A, convert the velocity to ft/s , the distance between plates to ft, the area to ft 2 , and the
viscosity to lbf/( ft-s). Then find the force on the plate in lbf. Do you prefer the English or the SI system and
why?
