Boundary-Layer Flow and Turbulence in Heat Transfer

7 BOUNDARY-LAYER FLOW AND TURBULENCE IN HEAT TRANSFER 

7A Laminar Flow and Boundary-Layer Theory in Heat Transfer 

In section 3.IOC an exact solution was obtained for the velocity profile for isothermal laminar flow past a flat plate. The solution of Blasius can be extended to include the convective heat-transfer problem for the same geometry and laminar flow. In Fig. 5.7-1 the thermal boundary layer is shown. The temperature of the fluid approaching the plate is Tjj and that of the plate is Tg at the surface. 

5 Principles of Unsteady-State Heat Transfer 

Equations (3.10-5) and (3.10-3) were used by Blasius for solving the case for laminar boundary-layer flow. The boundary conditions used were
