1 Introduction
Brauer and Sucker [1] dealt with the mass transfer in parallel laminar flow along a flat plate. From the numerical solutions to the complete set of differential equations for the concentration field, smoothed curves for average Sherwood numbers were derived. In view of the analogy between heat and mass transfer, these curves can also be applied to heat transfer. For Reynolds numbers Re < 100, they yield higher values of the Nusselt number than those calculated by Pohlhausen [2] and Kroujiline [3] from the boundary layer theory (cf. Eq. (2)). If Re > 100, the results obtained by both methods practically agree.
2 Parallel Flow Along a Flat Plate with Laminar Boundary Layer
The stream adjacent to the plate is retarded when a fluid of uniform velocity is flowing over a plate. If the leading edge of this plate is streamlined, a laminar boundary layer is formed outward from it. The thickness of the laminar boundary layer increases with increasing distance xfrom the leading...
