Will you help me solve for the solution to problem 2 posted below
An incompressible fluid of negligible viscosity is pumped at a total volume flow rate Q through a porous surface into a small gap located between two closely spaced parallel plates. The flow in the gap can be considered one-dimensional (i.e., velocity is constant along any vertical cross-section) and only has one velocity component along the x-direction. Perform a control volume analysis on the small volume of fluid of length dx located at a distance x to obtain an expression for the pressure variation dp/dx.Solution
Fluid is considered as Incompressible fluid.velocity is considered as constant along vertical cross section.
If we take control volume as an Open system then,we know
Fluid energy at Entry = Fluid energy at Exit
(By Bernoulli\'s theorem)
Now, if we consider change in pressure and velocity I.e.
P to P+DP and V to V+ dV.
Flow rate, Q=Area *Velocity
So, applying cons of mass to control volume
d/dT p.dV + u.dA = 0
Also,d/dt dV = 0 (steady flow at control volume)
Flow between flat plates is
u (y) = a^2/2u(DP/DX)(y^2/a^2-y/a)
Since viscosity is negligible,u =0
Q= Integral of udA constant.
Where, u = velocity.
We know, irrespective of flow pressure gradient drops linearly with x.
By Cons of Momentum,
pdu/dt = dP/DX pg = dp/DX.
