 A long thin flat plate is lying parallel to a 3 m/s stream of water at 18°C. The kinematic viscosity of water at 18°C is equal to 1x10 m/s. By considering the fluid is in relative motion to the plate\'s surface, predict, at what distance (from the leading edge) the transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layer may occur. The critical Reynold\'s number (Rexerit - 500,000)
