Flat-plate boundary layer model

Input(s)

vy0v_{y 0}: Horizontal Velocity (cm/s)(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})

vv_{\infty}: Velocity (cm/s)(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})

x\mathrm{x}: Distance (cm)(\mathrm{cm})

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

Output(s)

K: Net Mass Flux from the Plate (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

K=(vy0v)((2vxμ)0.5)\mathrm{K}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{y} 0}}{\mathrm{v}_{\infty}}\right) *\left(\left(\frac{2 * \mathrm{v}_{\infty} * \mathrm{x}}{\mu}\right)^{0.5}\right)
