Theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer to fluids flowing across a flat plate

Analytical solutions for heat and mass transfer to fluids flowing across an isothermal flat plate were obtained. Laminar, inviscid and irrotational flow were assumed in the solution of the energy equation. The derived new relations were comparable with the experimental data and the solutions of other investigators. (C) 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
