Tabulated below are some experimental data obtained by passing n-butyl alcohol at a bulk temperature of 15?C over a heated flat plate (0.3 m long, 0.9 m wide, surface temperature of 60?C). Correlate the experimental data by appropriate dimensionless numbers and compare the line which best fits the data with equation 4.38.
