Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

In a flow configuration where air flows over a heated surface, how would you analyze the effects of increasing surface length on boundary layer development?

💡 Hint: Consider how the boundary layer thickness influences flow dynamics.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a vertical plate in natural convection. If the surface temperature is increased significantly, what happens to the thermal boundary layer and heat transfer rates?

💡 Hint: Think about the effect of density changes with temperature in the fluid flow.
