Water at a temperature of 25oC flows parallel over a flat plate with free-stream velocity of 2 m/s. The plate surface temperature is uniform at 86oC. Calculate: a) Thermal boundary layer thickness at x = 8 cm from leading edge; b) Local heat flux on x = 8 cm from leading edge; c) Total heat transfer rate in the area of plate L = 8 cm from the leading edge and width w = 10 cm
