Question: Consider steady two - dimensional laminar boundary layer flow of a very low Prandtl number fluid, over a flat plate, with a free - stream

Consider steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow of a very low Prandtl number fluid, over a flat plate, with a free-stream velocity and temperature U\infty and T\infty respectively. Assuming constant properties and that the temperature profile inside the thermal boundary layer at any location x from the leading edge to be T (x, y)= A+ B sin (Cy), where A, B and C are constants; determine the following: a. Expression for the thermal boundary layer thickness, b. Expression for the local wall Nusselt number.
