Distance between Plates given Maximum Velocity between Plates Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width = sqrt((8*Dynamic Viscosity*Maximum Velocity)/(Pressure Gradient))
w = sqrt((8*μ*V_max)/(dp|dr))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Maximum Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Maximum Velocity refers to the highest speed at which fluid can flow through a system without causing damage or inefficiency.
Pressure Gradient - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - The Pressure Gradient refers to the rate of change of pressure in a particular direction indicating how quickly the pressure increases or decreases around a specific location.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Maximum Velocity: 18.6 Meter per Second --> 18.6 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Pressure Gradient: 17 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 17 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = sqrt((8*μ*V_max)/(dp|dr)) --> sqrt((8*1.02*18.6)/(17))

Evaluating ... ...

w = 2.9879759035173

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.9879759035173 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.9879759035173 ≈ 2.987976 Meter <-- Width
