Maximum Velocity between Plates Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Velocity = ((Width^2)*Pressure Gradient)/(8*Dynamic Viscosity)
V_max = ((w^2)*dp|dr)/(8*μ)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Width - (Measured in Meter) - Width is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
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.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Pressure Gradient: 17 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 17 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_max = ((w^2)*dp|dr)/(8*μ) --> ((3^2)*17)/(8*1.02)

Evaluating ... ...

V_max = 18.75

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.75 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.75 Meter per Second <-- Maximum Velocity
