Abstract
An exact solution of laminar heat transfer problem for a uniform flow perpendicular to a rotating disk was obtained. Radial velocity at the outer edge of the boundary layer increases linearly in the radial direction, while the temperature difference between the disk and outer flow follows a power law. The problem is solved using self-similar velocity and temperature profiles. Nusselt numbers were computed for the Prandtl numbers Pr=1 and 0.71 at different values of parameters affecting flow and heat transfer. Special flow regime was identified where rotating disk heat transfer is determined only by peculiarities of the impinging flow. Results of predictions agree well with known experiments in the vicinity of the stagnation point.
