Consider laminar flow of water over a wide flat plate maintained at a uniform temperature of 50°C as shown in the figure. The freestream velocity and temperature of water are 1.0 m/s (parallel to the plate) and 20°C, respectively. The distance x from the leading edge, at which the thermal boundary layer thickness δT=0.01 m, is ______ m (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
GIVEN:
kinematic viscosity: ν=1.0×10-6 m2/s
Prandtl number: Pr=7.01
velocity boundary layer thickness: δH=4.91x/√(νx/V)
kinematic viscosity: ν=1.0×10-6 m2/s
Prandtl number: Pr=7.01
velocity boundary layer thickness: δH=4.91x/√(νx/V)
Correct : 1.4
