When viscous dissipation is appreciable, the conservation of energy [Eq. 5.6] must take into account the rate at which mechanical energy is irreversibly converted to thermal energy due to viscous effects in the fluid. This gives rise to an additional term, Ø , on the right-hand side, the viscous dissipation where


Apply the resulting equation to laminar flow between two infinite parallel plates, with
the upper plate moving at a velocity U. Assuming constant physical properties [p, cp, k,
?], obtain expressions for the velocity and temperature distributions. Compare the
solutions with the dissipation term included with the results when dissipation is
neglected. Find the plate velocity required to produce a 1 K temperature rise in
nominally 40°C air relative to the case where dissipation is neglected.
