A flat plate is subject to a parallel flow of a fluid, with U_∞
= 0.5 m/s and T_∞
= 400 K. The surface temperature is 450 K. Calculate and compare the following quantities at an axial position corresponding to x = 10 cm, when the fluid is engine oil or liquid sodium:

a. The thickness of velocity and thermal boundary layers

b. The convective heat transfer coefficient and heat flux

For properties of liquid sodium and engine oil, you can use the following table:
