Statement for linked Answer Q01 & 02
A smooth flat plate with a sharp leading edge is placed along gas stream flowing at U = 10 m/s. Thickness of the boundary layer at section r-s is 10 mm, the breath of the plate is 1 m (into the paper) and the density of the gas, r = 1.0 kg/m3. Assume that the boundary layer is thin, two – dimensional, and follows a linear velocity distribution, u = U $\left ( \frac{y}{\delta } \right )$, at the section r-s, where y is the height from plate.
- The mass flow rate (in kg/s) across the section q-r is
(a) zero (b) 0.05
(c) 0.10 (d) 0.15
2 .The integrated drag force (in N) on the plate, between p-s, is
(a) 0.67 (b) 0.33
(c) 0.17 (d) zero
