Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an air velocity of 5 m/s at a 0.2 m flat plate, calculate the boundary layer thickness at a distance of 1 meter using the momentum integral method.
💡 Hint: Consider the Reynolds number and how it influences boundary behavior.
Given a scenario where oil flows over a plate, compute the shear stress and coefficient of drag if viscosity is 0.1 Pa.s, free stream velocity is 3 m/s, and thickness is known.
💡 Hint: Revisit the shear stress formulas in your notes for clarity.
