(1) In this nota on, derive the terminal velocity distribu on in the liquid film u(y); in other

words, determine the flow in the limit where the film iner a is negligible and the x
momentum equa on expresses a balance between film weight and wall fric on.
(2) Determine the velocity U, the undetermined free surface velocity at y = δ, where δ is
the film thickness. Note that U is undetermined because the film flow rate can be varied
at will by the person who pours liquid on the incline.
(3) Consider next the heat transfer from the wall to the liquid film in the case where the film and
wall temperature is T0 everywhere upstream of x = 0 and where the wall temperature alone is
raised to (T0 + DT) downstream of x = 0. Let δT be the thermal boundary layer thickness of the
thin liquid region in which the wall hea ng effect is felt. Using scale analysis, demonstrate that
immediately downstream from x = 0 (where δT is much smaller than δ), the thermal boundary
layer thickness δT scales as [(α δ x)/U]1/3
(4) Calculate the scale of wall heat flux.
