The difference between Eqs. (15) and (16) is small, showing that the ap-

The method of the guess-velocity for the Kàrmàn integral equation is also
used for turbulent flows, by giving an appropriate turbulent velocity profile
in the boundary layer.
Exercise 6.5.2 Heat Transfer from a Flat Plate
Assume the profile of thermal boundary layer with reference to Fig. 6.23 is
