The effects of free stream turbulence on turbulent heat transfer were calculated with two equation model for heat. The calculations were performed with respect to turbulent boundary layers along a flat plate with a uniform wall heat flux. From the measured values of near wall thermal turbulence, an improvement on turbulence model function has been made in turbulent heat flux equation. The results for the heat transfer rate, logarithmic distribution of temperature profile, the eddy diffusivity of heat and turbulent Prandtl number agreed comparatively well with the experimental values.
