Friction work transfer in control volume analyses has been critically examined with special reference to the case when the friction force is not uniform over the boundary of the control volume. By considering a particular application of a Couette flow between a stationary smooth surface and a moving rough surface with a positive pressure gradient, it is shown that an inconsistency may be introduced in quantifying the work transfer rate when the modelling of the flow is on a one-dimensional basis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
