Repeat the calculations for the previous problem if the fluid were water instead of air. In which case do you expect the maximum velocity to be higher?

Previous Problem:

A vertical plate \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) long is at a temperature of \(400 \mathrm{~K}\) and exposed to air at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). Calculate the thickness of the boundary layer and the value of the local heat transfer coefficient as a function of (the vertical) distance along the plate.

Assume the flow remains laminar all the way.
