Take the surfaces ,
,
, and
to be
one unit length in the
-direction. (To figure out the correct
direction of the normal vector
at a given surface point,
note that the control volume in this case is the right half of the
region in between two cylinders of radii
and
and of unit
length in the
-direction. The vector
is a unit normal
vector sticking out of this control volume.)
The unknown velocities used in the computation should be taken to be
the polar components and
. But momentum
conservation for
-momentum is asked. (Conservation of
-momentum or
-momentum would be complete nonsense.) So
you will need to write the
-component of velocity in terms of the
polar unknowns. Note that in Cartesian coordinates, the polar unit
vectors are given by
