A thermocouple is located 1 m from the leading edge of a flat plate along which water flows at 1 m/s. The distance between the thermocouple and the plate is 1/2 inch (1.27 cm). The p= 1atm; T=20 oC.
a) Determine if the sensor is within the B.L.?
b) Determine u/U and v/U at the location of the thermocouple.
c) Is the use of the Blasius solution proper? Explain.
