Summary

An analysis of the steady state laminar thermal boundary layer of liquid metals is carried out for the case of the simultaneous linear variation in thermal capacity and conductivity. Explicit closed form analytical solutions are given for temperature distributions using perturbation technique, for a general class of potential flows specified by the power law distribution.

Zusammenfassung

Es wir die stationäre, laminare, thermische Grenzschicht eines flüssigen Funktionen der Temperatur sind. Analytische Lösungen werden in geschlossener Form für die Temperaturverteilung angegeben unter Benutzung eines Störansatzes. Hierbei wird die Potentialströmung durch einen Potenzansatz dargestellt.
