Summary

In this paper the heat transfer in the second order boundary layer flow of an incompressible fluid with uniform oncoming stream is studied at low Prandtl numbers using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The suction and injection are also included in first as well as second-order problems. For each of the second-order effects due to longitudinal curvature, transverse curvature, displacement and suction or injection the first five terms in an asymptotic expansion are obtained and compared with available exact results.
