Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Force = (Dynamic Viscosity*Contact Area*Velocity of Fluid)/(Distance Between Two Plates)
F_Shear = (μ_viscosity*A_Contact*V)/(ℓ)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Shear Force - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force is the force which causes shear deformation to occur in the shear plane.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Contact Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Contact Area is defined as the contact area between the plate and fluid.
Velocity of Fluid - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Fluid is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Distance Between Two Plates - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Between Two Plates is defined as the distance between the plates between which the fluid is flowing at velocity V.

What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What are the Applications of Fluid Dynamics?

Fluid Dynamics can be applied in the following ways: Fluid dynamics is used to calculate the forces acting upon the aeroplane. It is used to find the flow rates of material such as petroleum from pipelines. It can also be used in traffic engineering (traffic treated as continuous liquid flow).

How to Calculate Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer?

Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer calculator uses Shear Force = (Dynamic Viscosity*Contact Area*Velocity of Fluid)/(Distance Between Two Plates) to calculate the Shear Force, The Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer formula is defined as the function of dynamic viscosity, contact area between the plates, fluid velocity and distance between the plates. Fluids for which the rate of deformation is linearly proportional to the shear stress are called Newtonian fluids after Sir Isaac Newton, who expressed it first in 1687. Most common fluids such as water, air, gasoline, and oils are Newtonian fluids. Blood and liquid plastics are examples of non-Newtonian fluids. Shear Force is denoted by F_Shear symbol.

How to calculate Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer, enter Dynamic Viscosity (μ_viscosity), Contact Area (A_Contact), Velocity of Fluid (V) & Distance Between Two Plates (ℓ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Shear Force acting on Newtonian Fluid Layer calculation can be explained with given input values -> 30.48 = (1.02*4.5*101.6)/(15.3).
