Description:... The flow is taken to be of the boundary-layer type, and the problem is formulated by the Karman-Pohlhausen method. The solution of the resulting equations is achieved by series expansion. The first term of the series corresponds to the result for uniform thermal conditions on the wall. The succeeding terms give the influence of the nonuniform thermal conditions. The first five terms of the series have been calculated.
