Question:

Consider a flat plate positioned inside a wind tunnel, and air at 1 atm and 20°C is flowing with a free stream velocity of 60 m/s. What is the minimum length of the plate necessary for the Reynolds number to reach 2 × 107? If the critical Reynolds number is 5 × 105, what type of flow regime would the airflow experience at 0.2 m from the leading edge?
