Based on the table below, the parameters shows for the smooth plate, from this table
we can make comparison between theoritical and experimental for x = 0.05m and x = 0.20m.
Firstly, in x = 0.05, value of in experimental is larger than theoritical at 0.00175 than 9.199
x 10-4. After that, for * and , the value of theoritical is larger than experimental at 3.164 x
104, 1.222 x 10-4 than 1 and 0. Beside that, for x = 0.20, value of * in experimental is larger
than theoritical at 1.0156 than 6.329 x 10-4. After that, for and , the value of theoritical is
larger than experimental at 1.840 x 10-3, 2.443 x 10-4 than 0.0015 and -0.0158. So, the
differentiation for theoritical and experiment, causes paralax error or human error when the
the parameter. In this case overall parameter in experiment can be acceptable whether the
percentage error is high because the real action is in experimental, than value of theoritical as
a refererences to guide when run the experiment.

Based on the table below, the parameters shows for the rough plate, from this table we
can make comparison between theoritical and experimental for x = 0.05m and x = 0.20m.
Firstly, in x = 0.05, value of * in theoritical is larger than experimental at 3.164 x 104 than
0.9839. After that, for and , the value of experimental is larger than theoritical at 0.00175,
0.0158 than9.199 x 10-4 and1.222 x 10-4 . Beside that, for x = 0.20, value of * in
experimental is larger than theoritical at 1.0308 than 6.329 x 10-4. After that, for and , the
value of theoritical is larger than experimental at 1.840 x 10-3, 2.443 x 10-4 than 0.0015 and
-0.0327. So, the differentiation for theoritical and experiment, causes paralax error or human
error when the the parameter. In this case overall parameter in experiment can be acceptable
whether the percentage error is high because the real action is in experimental, than value of
theoritical as a refererences to guide when run the experiment.
To define effect of stream turbulance, we must refer the velocity profile measuremant at
the end on the plate. For the lower speed the velocity profiles can be indentify, it is in good
condition for laminar form. Beside that, to produce turbulent shape, it must higher for speed.
It can produce unsteady stream when maximum velocity for case transition. Other than that,
the laminar condition can be established and retained only if boundary layer is in an
undisturbed laminar condition at the started suction region. Once the laminar suction profile
has been established, it is able to sufficient to promote transition.
CONCLUTION:-
In conclution, we can conclude that we can see the pattern for graph y versus u/U
between smooth plate and rough plate is always increase. Beside that, from graph y versus
(u/U)(1-u/U) we also can analyze the parameter of (u/U)(1-u/U) is always decrease. From this
graph we can define the boundary layer of flat plat in laminar or turbulent flow. Moreover, by
using the graph that we plot, we also can make comparison , *, experiment with
theoritical. From the discussion, we know the experiment can achieved objective or not.
Lastly, based on the discussion, the objective totally succesfully achieved and the experiment
can be acceptable.
