Abstract

The present paper deals with the temperature field past an isothermal sphere. Acrivos & Taylor (1962) have obtained results for the case R [les ] 1 with no restriction on the Prandtl number. The results of the present paper are for the case R < 1 in which the Prandtl number is of order unity. An expansion for the Nusselt number is given up to and including the term of order R2.
