| description | In this paper numerical solutions are obtained for the steady laminar free convection boundary
layer flow on a horizontal plate with variable wall temperature. The governing nondimensional
boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations
using similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using an implicit finite
difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. The numerical results for different values
of the Prandtl number Pr and the constant m representing the power index are obtained. The
effects of various values of Prandtl number Pr and m on the velocity profiles, temperature
profiles, skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are presented and discussed |
