| Summary: | The approach to equilibrium in a nonequilibrium-dissociating boundary layer flow along catalytic or noncatalytic surfaces is treated from the stand-point of a singular perturbation problem and by use of the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Based on a linearized reaction rate model for a diatomic gas which facilitates closed form analysis, a uniformly valid solution for the near-equilibrium behavior is obtained as the composite of appropriate outer and inner solutions. It is shown that under near-equilibrium conditions, the primary nonequilibrium effects are buried in a thin sublayer near the body surface that is described by the inner solution. Applications of the theory are made to the prediction of heat transfer and atom concentrations for blunt body stagnation point and high speed flat plate flows; the results agree with the near-equilibrium behavior predicted by numerical solutions.
