3. (a) Discuss, the concepts of velocity boundary layer
and temperature boundary layer. Provide some analysis of how and
why these two concepts are important in convective heat transfer.

(b) For a flat plate, discuss in your own words, how the rate of heat
transfer and convective heat transfer coefficient are determined for
forced convection and natural (free) convection. In your discussion,
analyse how laminar and turbulent flows are treated
