A simplified means of providing first estimates to laminar heating rates on isothermal axisymmetric blunt bodies
… results, a series expansion for the parameter of interest is obtained through the fourth order term. Even though the perfect gas laws are employed in the series expansion, the resulting effect on the heat transfer ratio is felt to·be small. To substantiate the method, the heat transfer computed by …
