A NOTE ON THE SURFACE INTEGRAL OF LAMINAR HEAT FLUX TO SYMMETRIC BODIES AT ZERO INCIDENCE

Abstract

IN THE STUDY OF HEATING PROBLEMS OF MISSILES, IT IS FREQUENTLY NECESSARY TO OBTAIN THE SURFACE INTEGRAL OF THE HEAT TRANSFER. This is usually obtained by a numerical integration of the heat transfer rate distribution F OR LAMINAR HEAT TRANSFER TO SYMMETRIC BODIES AT ZERO ANGLE OF ATTACK, THIS INTEGRATION CAN BE DONE ANALYTICALLY, IF ONLY A FEW REASONABLE APPROXIMATIONS ARE MADE. The result is expressible entirely in terms of quantities which also ent r the heat transfer rate distribution expression, so performing the surface integral becomes a very simple matter of algebraic combination of known quantities.
