Temperature Profile Velocity Profile Linear (Velocity Profile) Poly. (Temperature Profile)

Velocity and Temperature Profiles are plotted in MS Excel Worksheet.

Velocity Profile is liner with maximum velocity at y = H, U = Umax.
Temperature Profile is parabolic with maximum temperature at y = 0, T = Tmax.
