Heat and mass exchange in a turbulent boundary layer on a disintegrating plate surface

Heat- and mass-exchange processes in a turbulent boundary layer on a disintegrating surface during aerodynamic heating are investigated. The flow in the layer is considered frozen, and the gas composition is determined only by the reactions on the disintegration surface. The problem is solved under the usual assumptions for turbulent-boundary-layer theory. Computation of the disintegration of an asbestos-textolite surface is presented as an example.
