Consider a large vertical plate with a uniform surface temperature of 130C suspended in a quiescent
air at 25C and atmospheric pressure.
(a) Estimate the boundary layer thickness at a location 0.25 m measured from the lower edge (Hint:
use Fig. 9.4 as the source, and evaluate the thickness at =5).
(b) What is the maximum velocity in the boundary layer at this location?
(c) Using the similarity solution result, Equation 9.19, determine the heat transfer coefficient 0.25 m
from the lower edge.
(d) At what location on the plate measured from the low edge will the boundary layer become
turbulent?
