The numerical solutions of these equations for Pr = 0.1, 1, and 10 are shown in
Figure 12.5. It is seen that the thermal and momentum diffusions are deeper, and the
boundary layers are thicker, for the smaller Prandtl number uids.
The local Nusselt number at a distance x from the leading edge of the plate is
