On the viscous dissipation in the boundary layer of a high Prandtl number fluid in laminar flow over a flat plate
Abstract
An asymptotic expansion for large Prandtl number fluids has been obtained for the recovery factor in a laminar flow over flat plate. The expression underestimates the recovery factor by no more than 1% as long as the Prandtl number is greater than seven.
