The flow of a three-component gas mixture over a plane surface is investigated within the framework of laminar boundary-layer theory. Homogeneous reactions are frozen; a heterogeneous recombination reaction takes place on the surface of the plate, and the catalytic properties of the surface suffer a discontinuity. An approximate analytical solution of the problem is obtained, making it possible to determine the flow parameters after the point of discontinuity of the catalytic properties when the flow parameters at the outer boundary of the boundary layer and the distribution of the heat flux density on the inset, which can be determined experimentally, are known.
