Transport phenomena associated with the heating of a stationary fluid near saturation by an inclined, partially submerged copper plate were studied analytically. Under steady-state evaporation, the meniscus profile was derived using an appropriate liquid film velocity and temperature distribution in an integral approach similar to boundary layer analysis. Derivation of the meniscus profile led to predicting heat transfer and performance as a function of angle of inclination of the plate.

An experimental investigation of the rate of heat transfer to the insulator wall of a quasi-steady magnetogasdynamic accelerator is described. The experiments were conducted in an accelerator section attached to the end of a shock tube using argon as the test gas. The measurements are compared with a Hartmann boundary-layer analysis, which correlates the data within the experimental scatter. Based on this theory, estimates of the current shorting through the boundary layer and energy fluxes to the wall are made and compared with the accelerator’s overall performance.

An assessment has been made of the applicability of a three-dimensional boundary-layer analysis to the calculation of heat transfer and streamline flow patterns on the surfaces of both stationary and rotating turbine passages. In support of this effort, an analysis has been developed to calculate a general nonorthogonal surface coordinate system for arbitrary three-dimensional surfaces and also to calculate the boundary-layer edge conditions for compressible flow using the surface Euler equations and experimental pressure distributions. Using available experimental data to calibrate the method, calculations are presented for the endwall, and suction surfaces of a stationary cascade and for the pressure surface of a rotating turbine blade. The results strongly indicate that the three-dimensional boundary-layer analysis can give good predictions of the flow field and heat transfer on the pressure, suction, and endwall surfaces in a gas turbine passage.

A fundamental improvement of any one-parameter integral procedure for compressible laminar boundary-layer analysis is described. It is shown, by means of comparisons with exact solutions covering cases of favorable, zero, and adverse pressure gradients, and of constant and variable surface temperatures with and without heat transfer, that in all cases very significant improvements in the calculated results are attained, and also that this improvement is accomplished simply by evaluating integrals.
