With reference to a standard Cartesian (x, y) plane, the parabolic velocity distribution profile of fully developed laminar flow in x-direction between two parallel, stationary and identical plates that are separated by distance, h, is given by the expression \({\rm{U}} = {\rm{\;}} - \frac{{{{\rm{h}}^2}}}{{8{\rm{\mu }}}}\frac{{{\rm{dp}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}\left[ {1 - 4{{\left( {\frac{{\rm{y}}}{{\rm{h}}}} \right)}^2}} \right]\)In this equation, the y = 0 axis lies equidistant between the plates at a distance h/2 from the two plates, p is the pressure variable and µ is the dynamic viscosity term. The maximum and average velocities are, respectively |
| A. | \({{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}} = {\rm{\;}} - \frac{{{{\rm{h}}^2}}}{{8{\rm{\mu }}}}\frac{{{\rm{dp}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}\)and \({{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{avg}}}} = \frac{2}{3}{{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}}\) |
| B. | \( {{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}} = \frac{{{{\rm{h}}^2}}}{{8{\rm{\mu }}}}\frac{{{\rm{dp}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}\)and \({{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{avg}}}} = \frac{2}{3}{{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}}\) |
| C. | \({{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}} = {\rm{\;}} - \frac{{{{\rm{h}}^2}}}{{8{\rm{\mu }}}}\frac{{{\rm{dp}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}\)and \({{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{avg}}}} = \frac{3}{8}{{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}}\) |
| D. | \( {{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}} = \frac{{{{\rm{h}}^2}}}{{8{\rm{\mu }}}}\frac{{{\rm{dp}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}\)and \({{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{avg}}}} = \frac{3}{8}{{\rm{U}}_{{\rm{max}}}}\) |
