From the above equation, increases with increasing x and but


decreases with increasing u
The larger free stream velocity, the thinner the boundary layer
The wall shear stress may be expressed as
s = u
= u (u/x) d2f
y y=0
d2 =0

value of , f , df/d and d2f/d2 can get from Table 7.1


s = 0.332 u ( u /x)

The local friction is then

parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated
to a uniform temp. of 100c. The plate has or length of
0.20m and a width of 0.10m. The Reynoldsnumber based on
the plate length is 40,000. What is the rate of heat transfer
from the plate to the air? If the free stream velocity of the air
doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm, what is the
rate of heat transfer?

Flow around Cylinders and Spheres


Flow around cylinders and spheres is characterized by boundary
layer development and separation.
Heat transfer coefficients are strongly influenced by the nature of
boundary layer development at the surface.

For the circular cylinder, the characteristic length is the diameter


and the Reynolds number is defined as
Red = vD = vD

For laminar boundary layer :


Red 2 x 105
= 80c
For transition boundary layer :
Red 2 x 105
= 140c
