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 rigorous solution for this type of problem is avoided. The validity of the method for gases is demonstrated by comparison of the predicted coeffcients with the experimental data for two widely different problems.

A new simple solution technique is presented for fluid flow and heat convection problems that incorporate the similarity solution. Finite-difference methods and numerical integration are used to solve the describing equations using spreadsheets. Numerical solution by spreadsheets results in a soluti
Combined forced and free convective flows having locally complicated geometries or boundary conditions were numerically studied with a finite difference method of coarse and fine meshes. The coarse-and-fine mesh method developed can be used for numerical calculations of both unsteady and steady proc
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,
