Question 1
Open questionMTMCQ1 markNeeds review
For a laminar flow of a liquid metal over a flat plate, the thicknesses of the velocity and thermal boundary layers are
and
respectively. Kinematic viscosity (viscosity/density) of liquid metal is significantly lower than its thermal diffusivity [thermal conductivity / (density × specific heat)]. Based on this information, pick the correct option.(Note: The temperature of the liquid metal is different from that of the plate.)
