The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

The thermal response of an incompressible laminar boundary layer over a semi-infinite plate due to a positive step change in either the plate temperature or the plate heat flux density is investigated. Some coordinate transformations are obtained with the differential method in the two cases of boundary conditions. Numerical solution of differential equations is obtained by a combination of two types of finite difference schemes. Temperature profiles, thermal boundary-layer thickness and convective heat coefficient are displayed graphically for air flow. Empirical relations for the transient duration as function of Prandtl number are given for the two cases of wall conditions, for Pr ranging from 0.71 to 100.
