BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW OF DISSOCIATED GAS WITH ARBITRARY DISTRIBUTION OF SURFACE CATALYCITY,
Abstract
The effect of arbitrarily distributed surface chemical activity on heat transfer has been studied and equations describing the diffusion rate of atoms to a surface in contact with a frozen boundary layer have been developed. A Volterra integral equation, is used and it can be solved either by a series method or by a numerical scheme. A detailed development was presented for surface catalytic recombination of atomic species of a disociated diatomic gas flowing over a flat plate. Two basic cases were included: the surface on the front portion as (1) a perfect catalyst or (2) a total noncatalyst. In the examples presented only the non-catalyst case is shown, since this was the only case for which all the methods of solution developed could be readily compared. (Author)
