Velocity and Temperature Profiles in Convection

The document discusses velocity and temperature profiles for Couette and Poiseuille flows. It shows that the velocity profile for Couette flow is linear and maximum at the boundary, while the temperature profile is parabolic and maximum in the center. For Poiseuille flow, both profiles are parabolic with maximums in the center.
