Air at 20 C flows at a velocity of 2 m /s
across a rectangular flat plate. The
plate is 25 cm long in the direction of
flow and 5 cm wide. It is at a
temperature of 160 C. (a ) What types of
boundary layers are on the plate,
laminar or turbulent ? (b) What is the
boundary layer thickness at a distance
15 cm downstream of the leading edge ?
(c) What are the velocity components u
and y at a location 15 cm downstream
of the leading edge and at the middle of
the boundary layer ?
