The answer is C.

The Prandtl number is defined as the ratio of hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness to thermal boundary layer thickness. It is therefore clearly seen that this is the inverse of the problem statement.

By comparing the equations for the thermal and hydrodynamic boundary layers, it can be shown that the ratio of 'xt' to 'x' is equal to the inverse of the Prandtl number raised to the power of one-third: xt/x = NPr^ (-1/3).

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B', NPr^ (1/3).

According to me, the answer is D.

Dipankar Kakati said:   7 years ago
(Hydrodynamic Boundary Thickness)/(Thermal Boundary Thickness) = Pr^(1/3).
So, Answer is D.
