Wall Enthalpy in Viscous Flow Fundamentals Formulas

The Wall Enthalpy is the measure of thermal energy per unit mass at the wall interface in fluid mechanics, particularly in hypersonic and viscous flow scenarios. And is denoted by h_w. Wall Enthalpy is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram for Specific Energy. Note that the value of Wall Enthalpy is always positive.
