    A new expression for the tangential velocity gradient is derived, which is based on a more realistic flow model. An integral method is used to solve the conservation equations and, for the stagnation point, yields an explicit solution of the tangential velocity gradient. The solution achieved is also valid for high temperature flows with real gas effects. A comparison of numerical and experimental results shows good agreement with the stagnation point heat flux according to the theory of Fay and Riddell, if the tangential velocity gradient is determined by the new theory presented in this paper.
