Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. Consider laminar flow of water over a flat plate of length 1 m. If the boundary layer thickness at a distance of 0.25 m from the leading edge of the plate is 8 mm, the boundary layer thickness (in mm), at a distance of 0.75 m, is ______
    1. 13
    2. 13.86
    3. 14.82
    4. 13.98
Correct Option: B

∴
δ
=
k
, here ‘k’ is constant
x√x

∴
δ1
=
δ2
√x1√x2

∴
8
=
δ2
∴ δ2 = 13.86 mm.
√0.25√0.75

∵
δ
=
0.60
x√Rex

or
δ
=
0.60
=
0.60√v
x√xu∞/v√x.√u∞/v

∵ √v and √u∞ is constant in both the cases
