Consider a fluid flowing over a flat plate at a constant free stream velocity. The critical Reynolds number is 5 × 105and the distance from the leading edge at which the transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs is xCT = 7 ft. Determine the characteristic length (Lc) at which the Reynolds number is 1 × 105.

Answer; 1.4 ft
