Skin friction and heat transfer for incompressible laminar flow over porous wedges with suction and variable wall temperature

Abstract The boundary-layer differential equations for laminar flow over permeable wedges with suction, including isothermal and variable wall temperature distributions, have been solved. By use of the present solutions, the heat transfer and skin friction for laminar flow over any arbitrary geometry can be calculated. The application of the solutions to the binary gas flow and condensation is demonstrated, and the relation between the mass condensed, the heat removed, and the surface temperature is derived.
