Abstract

A boundary layer analysis is presented for hypersonic flow over isothermal and adiabatic flat plates. Consideration is given to variable properties of air. It has been shown that surface drag and heat transfer rates can be controlled by applying magnetic field and vectored surface mass transfer. The range of Mach numbers considered is 2.5 to 10. As the magnetic field strength increases, friction factor and heat transfer rate (for an isothermal surface) or surface temperature (for an adiabatic surface) increase. Friction factor and surface temperature (in the case of adiabatic surface) can be reduced by applying vectored surface mass transfer.
