Heat Transfer Assignment 5 — Couette Flow  
Instructions
$\xi$ is a parameter related to your student ID, with $\xi_1$ corresponding to the last digit, $\xi_2$ to the last two digits, $\xi_3$ to the last three digits, etc. For instance, if your ID is 199225962, then $\xi_1=2$, $\xi_2=62$, $\xi_3=962$, $\xi_4=5962$, etc. Keep a copy of the assignment — the assignment will not be handed back to you. You must be capable of remembering the solutions you hand in.

Question #1
Consider two large (infinite) parallel plates, 5 mm apart. One plate is stationary, while the other plate is moving at a speed of $200$ m/s. Both plates are maintained at $27^\circ$C. Consider two cases, one for which the plates are separated by water and the other for which the plates are separated by air.
(a)  For each of the two fluids, what is the force per unit surface area required to maintain the above condition? What is the corresponding power requirement?
(b)  What is the viscous dissipation associated with each of the two fluids?
(c)  What is the maximum temperature in each of the two fluids?
Question #2
Consider a lightly loaded journal bearing using oil having the constant properties $\rho=800$ kg/m$^3$, $\mu/\rho = 10^{-5}$ m$^2$/s, and $k=0.13$ W/m$\cdot$K. The journal diameter is 75 mm; the clearance (i.e. gap width) is 0.25 mm, and the bearing operates at $3600$ rpm.
(a)  Determine the temperature distribution in the oil film assuming that there is no heat transfer into the journal and that the bearing surface is maintained at 75$^\circ$C.
(b)  What is the rate of heat transfer from the bearing, and how much power is needed to rotate the journal?
Question #3
Consider a journal bearing with a shaft diameter $D_i$ and a casing diameter $D_o$ as follows:

The shaft rotates at a speed $\omega$ (in rad/s), and the oil has a density $\rho$ (in kg/m$^3$), a viscosity $\mu$ (in kg/ms), and a thermal conductivity $k$ in (W/mK). Knowing that there is heat generation inside the shaft of $S$ (in W/m$^3$) and that the temperature of the casing is of ${T_o}$ (in $^\circ$C), do the following:
(a)  From the momentum equation, derive the velocity distribution within the oil as a function of $D_i$, $D_o$, $\omega$ and the distance from the casing, $y$.
(b)  From the energy equation, derive the temperature distribution within the oil as a function of $D_i$, $D_o$, $\omega$, $y$, $T_o$, $S$, $\mu$, and $k$.
