Abstract
An analysis is presented for the steady state heat transfer in an axisymmetric stagnation flow on an infinite circular cylinder. Boundary layer solutions are given for constant wall temperature and constant wall heat flux boundary conditions. Numerical results for the temperature distribution and solutions for the wall values of the temperature function have been tabulated. The range of Prandtl numbers considered was from 0.01 to 1000 while the Reynolds number was varied from 0.01 to 100.
