Pressure Gradient given Maximum Velocity between Plates Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Velocity: 18.6 Meter per Second --> 18.6 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Width: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

dp|dr = (V_max*8*μ)/(w^2) --> (18.6*8*1.02)/(3^2)

Evaluating ... ...

dp|dr = 16.864

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16.864 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

16.864 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Pressure Gradient
