Heat and mass transfer to a reacting particle in a gas flow for arbitrary temperature dependence of the transport coefficients (Q1067946)

A study is made of simultaneous heat and mass transfer to a reacting particle of any shape in a translational (and shear) flow of a viscous heat conducting compressible gas for which the thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient, and also the specific heat depend on the temperature. The first two terms of the asymptotic expansion with respect to the small Reynolds number are obtained for the mean Sherwood and Nusselt numbers. The case of a power-law temperature dependence of the gas viscosity is considered in detail.
