MOTIVATION
o Many industrial processes involve flows over
moving plates or belts such as
o Fabrication of adhesive tapes, wire drawing,
production of plastic sheets, paper
production and polymer extrusions etc
o In all of these cases, final product is highly
dependent upon the heat transfer rate and
the skin friction coefficient at bounding
surface
