Question 52
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
Consider laminar flow of water over a wide flat plate maintained at a uniform temperature of 50 °C as shown in the figure. The freestream velocity and temperature of water are 1.0 m/s (parallel to the plate) and 20 °C, respectively. The distance
from the leading edge, at which the thermal boundary layer thickness
m, is ____ m (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
GIVEN:
kinematic viscosity:
m
/sPrandtl number:
velocity boundary layer thickness:
