Abstract

In the present note the temperature distribution in a laminar plane wall jet has been studied. It is found that a similarity solution of the energy equation exists. The resulting ordinary differential equation is reduced to a hypergeometric equation by a suitable transformation of the similarity variable and the solution, for arbitrary values of the Prandtl number, is obtained. It is concluded that the heat transfer at the wall at a given section and the product of volume and heat-flux through any cross-section of the boundary layer increase with the increase in the value of Prandtl number respectively.
