ON THE EFFECTS OF DIFFUSION AND CHEMICAL REAC TION IN CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER,

Abstract

The notion of an 'effective' thermal conductivity for reacting gaseous mixtures is applied to the prediction of convective heat transfer rates when dissociation, diffusion and atom recombination take place within a laminar boundary layer in quasi-equilibrium. The result for the forward stagnation region of a cool blunt-nosed body is compared with recent solutions to the boundary layer equations. (Author)
