Consider the flow of a fluid parallel to a flat and smooth plate.

a. Assume that the fluid is air at 100 kPa pressure, and T_∞
= 300 K and U_∞
= 1 m/s, and the plate surface is at a temperature of 350 K. Calculate the thickness of the velocity and temperature boundary layers at 1 , 10 , and 30 cm distances from the leading edge of the plate.

b. Repeat Part a, this time assuming that the fluid is an oil with the following properties:

 c. Repeat Part a, this time assuming that the fluid is liquid sodium with T∞ = 400 K, and the surface temperature is at 450 K, and U_∞
= 2 m/s.
