Local Heat-Transfer Coefficients on the Surface of an Elliptical Cylinder in a High-Speed Air Stream

Local heat-transfer coefficients and recovery factors have been determined for an elliptic cylinder of 1:4 axis ratio at zero and at a 5-deg angle of attack in an air stream. These results are presented for Reynolds numbers from 607,000 to 1,330,000, for which the onstream Mach numbers were from 0.20 to 0.53.
