Ahatract-An analysis is made of the boundary layer flow of Reiner-Philippoff fluids. This work is an extension of a previous analysis by Hansen and Na [A. G. Hansen and T. Y. Na, Similarity solutions of laminar, incompressible boundary layer equations of non-Newtonian fluids. ASME 67-WA/FE-2 presented at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting, November (1967)], where the existence of similar solutions ...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of an appropriate boundary layer variable. The resulting approximation is valid both for sma...

Similarity analysis is made of the three dimensional incompressible laminar boundary layer flow of general class of non-Newtonian fluids. This work is an extension of previous analysis by Na and Hansen (1967), where the similarity solution of laminar three dimensional boundary layer equations of Power-law fluids was investigated. For the present flow situation, it is observed that the similarly...

This article presents a comparison of the entropy production in a laminar and transitional boundary layer flow with the spectral entropy produced in a region of instability induced by an imposed periodic disturbance. The objective of the study is exploratory in nature by computing a boundary-layer environment with well-established computer techniques and comparing the predictions of the maximum...
