 4. Air flows over a 10.0m x 8.0 m rectangular spill

4. Air flows over a 10.0m x 8.0 m rectangular spill of gasoline (n-octane) at a velocity of 8.0 m/s (see the below figure). The spill occurred within an enclosure where the gas temperature was maintained at 27 C and the pressure is 1.0 atm. You may assume that gasoline approximates n-octane (A - n-octane) and the concentration of gasoline far from the surface is zero. 8.0 m Air flow 10.0 m a. At what position on the liquid film does the gas flow transition out of laminar flow? Plot out the local thickness of the hydrodynamic and concentration boundary layers with position within the laminar portion. What is the ratio of the concentration boundary thickness to the hydrodynamic layer thickness? b. What is the gasoline vapor emissions rate from the entire spill, in units of g- mole/s? You may assume that the temperature of the liquid spill remains constant at 27 C, the same as the air flow
