Summary

The “reference enthalpy” and local flat plate concepts are used to derive some simple expressions for the turbulent heat transfer rate distribution over an arbitrary body at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. The connection between pressure and heat transfer rate is established and tested against a number of experimental data.
