ABSTRACT

The aim of this lecture is to review some of the existing results for the transient heat transfer in boundary-layer forced convection flows. The results outlined refer only to the transient heat transfer in a boundary-layer over a flat plate, past a wedge, and near a plane stagnation point, which are subject to a step change in wall temperature (impulsively heated walls). The governing equations, along with their important simplifications, are presented to indicate the dimensionless parameters that arise and the basic nature of the transient process. Theoretical expressions for the rate of heat transfer are presented in the form of graphs. In addition, a comprehensive list of papers is included, making the review paper useful for the future researcher in heat transfer.
