Goal: Use dimensional analysis to solve conversion problems. 1. Observe: In the question, you are asked to convert kilometers to centimeters. To do this, first you will convert kilometers to meters. Drag the 1000 meters/1 kilometer tile down. A. What do you notice? B. Because kilometers appear in the numerator of one term and in the denominator of another, they cancel, or disappear. The process of converting units by canceling is called dimensional analysis. How many meters are in 0.828 kilometers? C. A meter is a much shorter unit of measurement than a kilometer. Based on this fact, does your answer to B make sense?

Two horizontal plates with infinite length and width are separated by a distance h in the z direction. the bottom plate is moving at a velocity u. the incompressible fluid trapped between the plates is moving in the positive x-direction with the bottom plate. align gravity with positive z. assume that the flow is fully-developed and laminar. if the systems operates at steady state and the pressure gradient in x-direction can be ignored, do the following: 1. sketch your system 2. identify the coordinate system to be used. 3. show your coordinates and origin point on the sketch. list all your assumptions. 5. apply the continuity equation to your system. nts of navier stokes equations of choice to your system 7. solve the resulting differential equation to obtain the velocity profile within the system make sure to list your boundary conditions. check units of velocity 8. describe the velocity profile you obtain using engineering terminology. sketch that on the same sketch you provided in (1). 9. obtain the equation that describes the volumetric flow rate in the system. check the units.
