The laminar free convection problem of a flat plate which is hung vertically in the air is solved, taking into account the variation of properties of air which depends on temperature. Previously the author solved the same problem by perturbation theory using e=(T0-T1)/T1 as a small parameter, where T0 and T1 are the absolute temperatures of the surface and the surrounding air, respectively. In this report the rigorous solution for a larger value of e(=2.0 and 4.0) by successive approach method is presented. The heat-transfer coefficient can be expressed as follows : α=αe=0(1-0.055e)read more

Advances in Free Convection
TL;DR: Free convection on a vertical surface has been studied extensively in the literature as mentioned in this paper, where the equations of momentum and energy are coupled, and the motion is directly caused by the transfer of heat and has no independent existence.

Variable viscosity effects in several natural convection flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a regular perturbation analysis is presented for three laminar natural convection flows in liquids with temperature dependent viscosity: a freely-rising plane plume, the flow above a horizontal line source on an adiabatic surface (a plane wall plume) and the flow adjacent to a vertical uniform flux surface.

The effect of variable properties on laminar natural convection boundary-layer flow over a vertical isothermal surface in water
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the temperature dependence of properties on laminar natural convection transport from an isothermal vertical surface in water are calculated and compared with those obtained assuming constant properties.
