4. For a flat plate, the transition from the free convection boundary layer to the free convection turbulent boundary layer takes place at a Rayleigh number of about Ra = 1E9. A flat plate at 70 C is placed in a colder medium at 27 C. Find the location on the plate where this transition takes if the plate is placed in: a) air, b) Ammonia, c) water. All fluids are at 1 atm. %3D
