Summary

The problem of determining the development of the nonsimilar viscous compressible boundary layer flow with time over a rotating sphere is considered when both free stream velocity and rotation vary arbitrarily with time. Variations of skin friction, heat transfer and displacement thickness with mass injection, rotation, wall enthalpy and time are discussed.
