The reference temperature method is found to be a reasonably accurate method of predicting the skin friction with the presence of finite rate chemistry in the boundary layer and with an equilibrium fully catalytic wall. The equation developed by Young and Janssen was the most accurate of all the equations considered and gave mean relative errors below 6.3%. The exact boundary-layer results indicated that Reynolds analogy is reasonably valid for nonequilibrium chemically reacting boundary layers. 18 refs.
