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

(a) Assume that the fluid is air at 100-kPa pressure, with U_∞
= 1 m/s. The entire system is at 350 K. The surface of the plate is slightly wet, such that water vapor is transferred from the surface to the fluid. Estimate the thickness of the velocity and concentration boundary layers at 1-, 10-, and 30-cm distances from the leading edge of the plate.

(b) Repeat part (a), this time assuming that U_∞
= 2.5 cm/s, the fluid is water and the transferred species is chlorine.
