Transcribed Image Text:

A boundary layer grows on the wall of a wind tunnel test section, downstream of some flow straightening honeycomb. The boundary layer that develops on the wall is measured to be laminar, and of Blasius form. The viscosity of the working fluid used in the wind tunnel is temperature sensitive, which affects the flow measurement On a given day, the boundary layer is measured 0.79 m downstream of the honeycomb, and the freestream velocity of the flow is 43 m s. The measured profile yields a momentum thickness of 0.009 m. Calculate the kinematic viscosity of the working fluid.
