Description
Summary:A simplified approximate method of calculating the unit thermal conductance along an airfoil as a function of distance from the leading edge, by use of heat transfer data for smooth cylinders and smooth flat plates, is presented. Heat transfer rates experimentally obtained by several investigators on models of airfoils of sections R.A.F. 26, R.A.F. 30, Clark Y, and NACA M-6 are compared with results predicted by the use of this method. Calculations of the heat transfer rates to be expected from a typical full-scale wing are also expected.
