Question 60
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
Consider a two-dimensional, steady, laminar flow of an incompressible fluid with zero pressure gradient, over a thin horizontal flat plate of length 2 m. The free stream velocity is 1 m s⁻¹. A boundary layer thickness of 1 mm is observed at a distance of 0.25 m from the leading edge of the plate. At 1 m from the leading edge, the boundary layer thickness (in mm) is ________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
