A solution to the laminar boundary layer equation with heat-transfer on the conical body, of which the cross-section is assumed to be nearly circular but otherwise arbitrary, is presented Present theory is the extension of Moore's to the cases of non-axisymmetric conical bodies given by Fourier series. A solution for the outer nonviscous flow, presented previously in this report, is available and simplifies the basic equation. The predicted heat-transfer to the 10° semi-apex circular cone at 2° angle of attack at M_∞,=7.87 agrees with the experimental value fairly well. As an example, present theory is applied to the cases of several shapes of nonaxisymmetric conical bodies at M_∞=50. The results show that a small three-dimensional effect in the outer nonviscous flow causes a large effect on the heat-transfer in the boundary layer.
