Book Description
In order to provide a relatively simple heat-transfer prediction along a nozzle, a differential (similar-solution) analysis for the turbulent boundary layer is developed. This analysis along with a new correlation for the turbulent Prandtl number gives good agreement of the predicted with the measured heat transfer in the throat and supersonic regiono f the nozzle. Also, the boundary-layer variables (heat transfer, etc. ) can be calculated at any arbitrary location in the throat or supersonic region of the nozzle in less than a half minute of computing time (Lewis DCS 7094-7044).
