Studying the effect of the temperature factor on the transition from a laminar to a turbulent regime of flow in a boundary layer

Based on the generalization of experimental data, we propose a formula for the calculation of the effect of the temperature factor and the transition from a laminar flow regime to one that is turbulent in the boundary layer of a plate; this formula has been confirmed by experiments performed in the following range of parameter variation: 0.5 2.6; 0.2 M 3.6; 0.1 9%.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 16, No. 2, pp.218–224, February, 1969.
