Numerical solutions of free convection boundary layer flow on a horizontal plate

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 transformatio...
