Mass-Transfer Cooling in a Laminar Boundary Layer With Constant Fluid Properties

Abstract

Mass transfer or transpiration cooling offers great possibilities for maintaining tolerable surface temperatures on high-speed aircraft or on turbine blades. The present study is concerned with the prediction of heat transfer, skin friction, and required coolant flows for such transpiration-cooled surfaces. The solutions presented were collected in so far as possible from the literature, and were supplemented by new calculations where required for the case of the flat plate and plane stagnation flows.
