Air at 1 atm and 100°C flows across a thin, flat plate of naphthalene that is 1 m long, causing the plate to sublime. The Reynolds number at the trailing edge of the plate is at the upper limit for a...

According to problem -
Air pressure = P=1 atm
Inlet air temperature = t =100 oc
T =273 +100 =373 ok
R = universal gas constant =0.082 atm-liter /mol – ok
Length 0f naphthalene flat plate = L = 1 m =100 cm
Distance of boundary layer edge = d = x = 0.5 m = 0.5*100 = 50 cm
Physical properties of Naphthalene
Molecular wt = C10H8 = 128 g /mole
