At a point B, 2m higher than A, the diameter is 0.5 m and the pressure is 20 kPa. Determine whether flow will take place from A to B or from B to A. A jet propelled airplane travels at 1000 km/hour. It takes 100 kg/s of air, burns 2 kg/s of fule and develops 40 KN of thrust. What is the velocity of the exhaust gas (relative to the air plane? Nikuradse, a well known student of Prandtl, obtained experimental data for laminar flow over a flat plate placed at zero angle of attack. His measurements suggest

where, y is the perpendicular distance from the plate, u is the local velocity and U is the free stream velocity. Evaluate a and b from the physical boundary conditions. Obtain the expressions for the boundary layer thickness d , displacement thickness d * , momentum thickness q and the shear stress t w on the surface of the plate.
