1. (35 points) Homemade viscometer. Let’s say that we want to build a device to measure
the dynamic viscosity of liquids from looking at the effect of rectangular solid plates on the
deformation, fluid flow. We analyze a pure Newtonian liquid that is incompressible. The
system is perfectly horizontal and built with dimensions of length (L), width (W) and inner
thickness (𝛿), where the thickness is about 1-2 mm and the length and width are on the
order of 10’s of centimeters. The flow set-up runs at steady state flow when the bottom
plate moves from left to right at a relatively low velocity. The top plate stays stationary.
(BTW…this is the two-plate model under Couette flow induction) The system is kept
isothermal. There is no mechanical pressure.

during operation. The cooling system is crucial for optimum performance of the computer.
The system consists of a tube that runs through the main computer body, housing, (it is a
desktop computer) and that contains a liquid as a refrigerant. I now want to have an initial
steady-state heat transfer model that helps me find the best material for the tube
considering the local heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant to optimize the cooling of
the computer. So, I need an equation that gives me the amount of heat flowing through the
wall of the tube from the inside of the computer housing to the refrigerant in the main
section of the tube. Note: the air inside the computer housing is constantly warmed up
when the electronics are running. The tube is positioned horizontally and has a length L.
The model needs to have the thermal conductivity of the wall of the tube and the local heat
transfer coefficient of the refrigerant. The tubing has an inner radius of R 0 and an outer
radius of R1 (small radius compared to its length). I want to test tubes of different materials
but all of them have constant k. The inner fluid has a local heat transfer coefficient of ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑟𝑖 .
The air outside the tube (inside the computer housing) is known to be at an average
temperature 𝑇𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝 far away from the tube and higher than the temperature of the
refrigerant Trefri. The local heat transfer coefficient of the air is the typical ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑟 . The
temperature at the surface of the tube will be known because I have a thermocouple placed
at the outer wall (R1) of the tube (Tout). I can’t put a thermocouple inside the tube. There is
no heat generation inside the tube. The refrigerant can be considered an incompressible
pure Newtonian liquid.
