1)Determine momentum thickness:

θ=δ0uU(1uU)dy

Substitute value of uU in above equation we get,

θ=[δ02yδy2δ21(2yδy2δ2)dy]

Making substitution

Let yδ=t

y=δt

dy=δdt

Changing limit at y=0,t=0

At y=δ,t=0

θ=10[2tt2][12t+t2]δdt

=δ[10[2tt2][12t+t2]

θ=0.1333δ(ans)(1)

Boundary layer thickness:

uU=2yδ(yδ)2

We know, τ0ρU2=ddx[δ0uU(1uU)dy]

Substituting the value of …
