Assignment Solution 2

The document discusses parallel oil flow between two large plates, with the upper plate moving at 12 m/s and the lower plate stationary, separated by a 2mm thick oil film maintained at 20°C. It asks to (a) obtain relations for the velocity and temperature distributions in the oil, and (b) determine the maximum temperature in the oil and the heat flux from the oil to each plate.

0 The flow of oil in a journal bearing can be approximated as parallel flow between two
3 large plates with one plate moving and the other stationary. Such flows are known as
Couette flow.

Consider two large isothermal plates separated by 2-mm-thick oil film. The upper plates
moves at a constant velocity of 12 m/s, while the lower plate is stationary. Both plates are
maintained at 20˚C. (a) Obtain relations for the velocity and temperature distributions in
the oil. (b) Determine the maximum temperature in the oil and the heat flux from the oil
to each plate (Fig. 01).
