LAMINAR HEAT TRANSFER DISTRIBUTION ABOUT TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND AXIALLY-SYMMETRIC BODIES

Abstract

The equations of Lees were integrated for an axially-symmetric body with a hemispherical nose, and for a flat body with a cylindrical nose. The results indicated that the heat transfer distributions, when non-dimensionalized with respect to the stagnation point, for a given pressure distribution, differ by the order of 3%. The calculations were also made for a flat nosed axially-symmetric body and a flat nosed plate; the heat distributions agreed very well with each other. Since the heat transfer about a 3-dimensional body lies between that of an equivalent 2-dimensional and a similar axiallysymmetric body, it is concluded that this distribution may be obtained from the 2-dimensional analysis.
