A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17

ft/s. What is the thickness of the boundary layer on the plate for Rex = 500,000 (assume that the boundary layer is still laminar), and at what distance downstream of the leading edge does this Reynolds number occur? What is the shear stress on the plate at this point?

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = \frac{U*x}{\upsilon}

Where,

U = velocity

\upsilon = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, \upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s

So, 500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}

x = 0.355 ft

d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}

d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, x = 0.355 ft

C. Wall shear stress,

\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }

For water, dynamic viscosity, \nu = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}

\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2

Answer:

Option c. Inter-rater Reliability

Explanation:

Here, the rating is done by a group of data collectors under training for evaluation children's pain on Faces scale which is a scale ranging from 0 to 10 with different expressions or faces with a happy face at 0 to a crying face at 10.

Also in Inter-rater Reliability, the relative consistency of a study or test is assessed and the extent to which different group members rated the same behavior, the consistency of which is evaluated.

Thus it can also be helpful in interviews, etc.
