Consider two concentric, infinitely long cylinders. The cylinders are oriented such that the center-line is along the z-axis, and the radii exist in the r-direction. The inner cylinder has a radius of ra and the outer cylinder has a radius rb. The inner cylinder moves in the positive z-direction with a velocity W while the outer cylinder is held stationary. The fluid contained between the cylinders is assumed to be Netwonian, incompressible, isotropic and isothermal. The flow of the fluid...
Consider two concentric, infinitely long cylinders. The cylinders are oriented such that the center-lines are along the z-axis, and the radii exist in the r-direction. The inner cylinder has a radius of r, and the outer cylinder has a radius rb. The inner and outer cylinders are stationary. Gravity exists in the negative z- direction, whereas a constant pressure gradient exists in the positive z-direction. The fluid contained between the cylinders is assumed to be Netwonian, incompressible, isotropic and isothermal....

End effects caused by (b) Compute the torque required to hold the outer cylinder stationary. (8 Pts) An incompressible Newtonian fluid is contained between two long concentric cylinders of radii AR (
Consider the steady laminar flow between the coaxial cylinders shown below. The inner cylinder rotates with angular velocity Omega and the outer cylinder is stationary. The no-slip condition applies at the inner and outer cylinder surfaces and we are considering the cylinders to be very long in the z-direction, hence we may ignore edge effects near the top and bottom surfaces. a) What are the boundary conditions on the cylinder surfaces at r=R1 , and r= R2 b) Simplify and...
Navier-Stokes Equation: An incompressible Newtonian liquid is confined between two concentric cylinders of infinite length—a solid inner cylinder of radius RA and a hollow outer cylinder of radius RB. The inner cylinder rotates at angular velocity ω and the outer cylinder is stationary. The flow is steady, laminar, and two-dimensional in the r-θ plane. The flow is rotationally symmetric, meaning that nothing is a function of the coordinate θ. The flow is also circular so that ur=0 everywhere. Found Uθ=...
4. Consider the situation of radial flow between two concentric cylinders. The outer cylinder has a radius of R and the inner cylinder has a radius KR. Assume flow is only in the radial direction and assume v, = v(r). Use the continuity equation and the relevant momentum balance equations to derive an expression for the pressure difference Pi-Po between the outer and inner cylinders as a function of the volumetric flow rate with L being the length of the...
