Consider steady, parallel flow of atmospheric air over a

flat plate. The air has a temperature and free stream

velocity of $300$ K and $25$ m$/$s$.$ and the surface is kept as $363$K

$($a$)$ Evaluate the boundary layer thickness at distances

of x $1,10,$ and $100$ mm from the leading edge.

If a second plate were installed parallel to and at a

distance of $3$ mm from the first plate, what is the

distance from the leading edge at which boundary

layer merger would occur?

b$)$Calculate the wall heat flux.
