β¦ Synopsis
A recently established version of the discrete-ordinates method is used to develop a solution to a class of problems in the theory of rarefied-gas dynamics where temperature and density effects are coupled. In particular, accurate solutions for the temperature perturbation, the density perturbation, and the heat flux are developed and evaluated for the flow, described by the Bhatnagar, Gross, and Krook model, of a rarefied gas between two parallel plates at which arbitrary and unequal accommodation is allowed. Numerical results are obtained for various choices of the accommodation coefficients and a wide range of the inverse Knudsen number.

Heat transfer and flow visualization experiments have been made in a channel with a rectangular cylindrical section having various width-to-height ratios. Vortices were observed to shed periodically from the cylinder and then reattach to the channel wall. This reattachment of the vortices induces a
## Abstract A method, based upon the pertinent flatβplate heat transfer equation, is presented for computing the local heat transfer coefficients for a boundary layer subjected to streamwise velocity and pressure gradients. No extensive mathematical background is required as the complexity of a rig
