Convection Integral Method

1. The document presents an integral method analysis of laminar boundary layer flow over a flat plate with constant wall temperature. 2. An energy balance equation is written and non-dimensionalized using a theta variable. 3. The boundary layer equations are solved using a cubic polynomial profile assumption, satisfying the boundary conditions. 4. A closed-form solution is obtained for the temperature distribution and local Nusselt number, which depends on Prandtl number and Reynolds number.
