Transcribed Image Text:

A boundary layer for laminar flow of a fluid over the plate, as shown in Figure 2, is to be approximated by the equation u/U = C (y/8) + C(y/8) + C3 (y/8). Determine the constants C, C and C3 using the boundary conditions when u = U, y = 8; when du/dy = 0, y = 8 and when du/dy = 0, y = 0. Then, obtain the thickness of the boundary layer as a function of x and Rex using the momentum integral technique.
