7.11 Consider two cases involving parallel flow of dry air at V = 2 m/s, T = 45°C, and atmospheric pressure over an isothermal plate at T, = 20°C. In the first case, Ree = 5 x 10°, while in the second case the flow is tripped to a turbulent state at x = 0 m. At what x-location are the thermal boundary layer thicknesses of the two cases equal? What are the local heat fluxes at this loca- tion for the two cases?
1. The viscous PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) coated on the glass (Sylagard 184, Dowcoaning) is using the spin coating material. If we fix the viscosity, density of coating material, initial thickness at 4000 cP, 965 kg/m3 and 0.105 cm, and then, the rotation time is fixed at time of 300s and the rotation of device start from 500 to 6000 RPM. Calculate the final thickness of the film at angular speed from 500-6000rpm (step by 500rpm) and draw the relationship between the final thickness (h) and angular speed (@).

Assume that the crater, of depth 10 km, is formed by heating to 3,500 K, and thus vaporizing, a cylindrical volume of moon rocks.

! Required information The local atmospheric pressure in Denver, Colorado (elevation 1610 m), is 83.4 kPa. Air at this pressure and at 30°C flows with a velocity of 6.00 m/s over a 2.50-m × 8.00-m flat plate whose temperature is 120°C. The properties of air at 0.823 atm and at the film temperature of (120 + 30)/2 = 75°C are k = 0.02971 W/m.°C, v = 2.486 × 10-5 m²/s, and Pr = 0.7166. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate if the air flows parallel to the 8.00-m-long side. The rate of heat transfer from the plate if the air flows parallel to the 8.00-m-long side is kW.
Question 9 Consider the flow of water over a flat plate. In a different experiment consider the flow of air over a flat plate. In both cases the flow is steady, the boundary layers that are formed are laminar and the gravitational acceleration can be neglected. In both cases the velocity far from the plates is the same (v.) and the temperature is also the same (80 °F). For the same distance x from the leading edge, in which boundary layer will the friction coefficient be higher? (a) The friction coefficient is the same for both cases. (b) In water. (c) In air. (d) It depends on the velocity profile that is assumed inside the boundary layer.
