KNOWN: Form of the velocity and temperature profiles for flow over a surface.
FIND: Expressions for the friction and convection coefficients.
SCHEMATIC:

ANALYSIS: The shear stress at the wall is


u
s A 2By 3Cy 2 A .
y y=0 y=0

Hence, the friction coefficient has the form,


s 2A

The convection coefficient is

COMMENTS: It is a simple matter to obtain the important surface parameters from knowledge
of the corresponding boundary layer profiles. However, it is rarely a simple matter to determine
the form of the profile.
