Effect of Thermal Properties on Laminar-Boundary-Layer Characteristics

Abstract

An iteration method is presented for solving the laminar-boundary-layer equations for compressible flow in the absence of a pressure gradient wherein the temperature variation of all the fluid thermal properties is considered. Friction and heat-transfer characteristics have been calculated for a stream temperature of -67 deg F for Mach numbers from 1 to 10 with the use of values of the heat capacity, conductivity, and viscosity determined from experiment.
