Chapter 6: Problem 44
Air flows over a flat plate at \(40 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 1 atm pressure. (a) What plate length should be used to achieve a Reynolds number of \(1 \times 10^{8}\) at the end of the plate? ( \(b\) ) If the critical Reynolds number is \(5 \times 10^{5}\), at what distance from the leading edge of the plate would transition occur?
