A simplified method has been developed for the calculation of heat transfer and skin friction in the compressible laminar boundary layer with an arbitrary Prandtl number near unity and an arbitrary streamwise pressure gradient and wall temperature distribution. By comparison of numerical results with some exact solutions, the method is shown to give accurate results with some exact solutions, the method is shown to give accurate results for the case of boundary-layer cooling when a certain fifth-dgree polynomial is used for the thermal profile. The use of this polynomial also results in recovery factors which are accurate to within a few percent on both the flat plate and the circular cylinder normal to flow.
