From Gerhart Flow of a viscous fluid over a flat plate surface results in the development of a region of reduced velocity adjacent to the wetted surface as depicted in

Fig. P5.25. This region of reduced flow is called a boundary layer. At the leading edge of the plate, the velocity profile may be considered uniformly distributed with a value U. All along the outer edge of the boundary layer, the fluid velocity component parallel to the plate surface is also U. If the x-direction velocity profile at section(2) is \frac{u}{U}=\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{y}{\delta}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{y}{\delta}\right)^{3} develop an expression for the volume flow rate through the edge of the boundary layer from the leading edge to a location downstream at x where the boundary layer thickness is 6.Figure P5.25 1) 5.25 – assume a width 'l' into the paper
