Assume that this relation is valid from the leading edge


of the flat plate. Develop an expression for the average

25W are attached to one surface of a square (0.2m
× 0.2m) copper plate as shown in Figure 1. All the
dissipated energy is transferred to water in parallel flow
over the opposite surface. A protuberance at the leading
edge of the plate acts to trip the boundary layer to be
turbulent, and the plate itself may be assumed to be
isothermal. The water velocity and temperature are,
𝑢1 = 2 m/s and 𝑇1 = 17◦ C, and the water thermo-
physical properties may be approximated as 𝜈 = 0.96 ×
10−6 m2 /s, 𝑘 = 0.620 W/mK, and 𝑃𝑟 = 5.2.
