The aim of this paper is to integrate Emmons & Brainerd’s equations analytically for arbitrary values of the Prandtl number and the Mach number, using the powerful asymptotic method of integration developed by the author in a previous paper (Meksyn 1948), dealing with the boundary layer in an incompressible fluid. It is shown here that in the first approximations the asymptotic integration gives ample accuracy and that it can be determined by simple and elementary methods. The results of this comparatively rapid calculation are in very satisfactory agreement with the results of the lengthy numerical calculations made by Emmons & Brainerd for certain specific values of Prandtl number and Mach number.
