Description
Given the fluid flow conditions, the dimensionless numbers (Reynolds and Prandtl),
as well as the surface and fluid temperatures and the length of the flat plate that is in
contact with the fluid, calculates, through empirical correlations, the thickness of the boundary layer (δ and δt),
the Nusselt number and the drag coefficient Cf,x
