Information

In this exercise, we are asked to derive an expression for the torque TT in order to rotate the disk. We are also tasked to determine an equation for the power requirement W˙\dot W. The given variable parameters are listed below:

  • TT - torque
  • dd - diameter
  • ω\omega - angular velocity
  • ρ\rho - fluid density
  • μ\mu - fluid viscosity
  • tt - distance from the wall
