Consider the following fluids at a film temperature of 300 K in parallel flow over a flat plate with velocity of 1 m/s: atmospheric air, water, and mercury. A) For each fluid, determine the velocity and thermal boundary layer thicknesses at a distance of 40 mm from the leading edge. Properties of each fluid are in A.4, A.5, and A.6.
B) For each of the prescribed fluids and on the same coordinates, sketch the boundary layer thicknesses as a function of distance from the leading edge to a plate length of 40 mm.
