Abstract
It is shown how an asymptotic, boundary-layer method, developed specifically for application to facilitated mass transport, can also be applied to the corresponding problem of facilitated enthalpy transport. The method, which merely entails an implicit algebraic computation, is applied to the (hydrodynamic) film-theory model for heat transfer between a hot or cold wall and a reversibly dissociating gas mixture, 2NO 2⇌2NO + O 2, which has previously been treated by Brian and Bodman [1]. Good agreement is found with their approximate analytical formula over the parameter range of their computations. However, for more extreme states of dissociation and larger overall temperature differences, the present results differ from those given by their approximate formula, especially for the cooling (cold wall) problem.
