Question: 3 . Boundary layer grows as air ( kinematic viscosity ( = 1 . 5 times 1 0 ^ { - 5 }

3. Boundary layer grows as air (kinematic viscosity \(=1.5\times 10^{-5}\mathrm{~m}^{2}/\mathrm{s}\) and density \(=1.23\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\)) moves over a flat plate with a freestream velocity of \(10\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\).
(a) Consider two parallel streamlines entering the boundary layer. Sketch them within the boundary layer showing their position with respect to the flat plate and the edge of the boundary layer.
(b) Considering a parabolic velocity distribution within the laminar boundary layer, find out its expression.
(c) For the above velocity profile, find out the expression of wall shear stress.
(d) Using momentum integral equation find out the variation of boundary layer thickness along the flat plate.
(e) Find out the distance from the leading edge of the plate where the thickness of the boundary layer is 2.5 mm .
