Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1P
To determine

The change of local friction coefficient with position.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The local friction coefficient accounted to calculate the drag force at specific location. The variation in the velocity of the boundary layer in the flow direction causes the local friction coefficient to vary along the surface of the flat plate. The local friction coefficient is denoted as Cf,x.

The variation of local friction coefficient with the position for the laminar flow along the flat plate is shown in below figure.

The local friction coefficient Cf,x decreases with downstream as the distance x increases in a laminar flow over a flat plate.
