Question: Question 3 ) [ 5 0 Pts ] A 3 - m long flat plate is exposed to a steady incompressible laminar flow of water

Question 3)[50 Pts]
A 3-m long flat plate is exposed to a steady incompressible laminar flow of water having a density of 1000kgm3 and a viscosity of 0.001 Pa*s. See the following figure. According to the following figure, the x direction represents the direction of flow while the y-axis represents the direction normal to the flow. The heat transfer properties of water are: Specific heat : 4186Jkg*K and Thermal conductivity : 0.606Wm*K The freestream velocity is 1.5ms. The plate is present at 25C while the bulk of the fluid is present at 70C.Assume constant physical properties.
