Consider the two-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow of air
over a wide 15 cm long flat plate whose surface temperature varies
linearly from 20°C at the leading edge to 40°C at the trailing
edge. This plate is placed in an airstream with a velocity of 2 m/s
and a temperature of 10°C. Numerically determine how the surface
heat flux varies along the plate.
Explain the results obtained with proper reasoning. Support your
results with scaling analysis wherever possible.I need c++ program
to solve the similarity equations.

3 kg of air in a closed movable container undergoes a few processes. Initially, the air with P1=330kPa and T1=70°C is cooled without producing any work until P2= 100kPa, and then it is expanded according to PVn=cont, where n=1.84 until the volume is double. The air again will be heated without changing the volume until the temperature of the air increase to the initial temperature. It is then cooled with constant pressure until the volume becomes 0.5m3. The air undergoes isothermal compression process with Wb=-130kJ. Finally, the air undergoes a polytropic expansion to the initial state.
