In Section 3.10C an exact solution was obtained for the velocity profile for isothermal laminar flow past a flat plate. The solution of Blasius can be extended to include the convective heat-transfer problem for the same geometry and laminar flow. In Fig. 5.7-1 the thermal boundary layer is shown. The temperature of the fluid approaching the plate is T∞ and that of the plate is TS at the surface.

We start by writing the differential energy balance, ...
