Convective heat transfer in air flow around a cylinder at low Reynolds numbers

The principal objective of the present work is to conduct investigations leading to a more complete explanation of heat-transfer processes on the external wall of a heated cylinder in laminar axial flow around it under high pressures. Investigations are aimed at determination of the limits of existence of mixed convection, explanation of the influence of free convection on the disturbances of heat transfer during laminar flow of a medium, and final explanation of intensification of heat-transfer processes occurring in a flow at high pressures.
