Buoyancy effects on thermal boundary layer over a vertical plate with a convective surface boundary condition / O. D. Makinde in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 132 N° 4 (Avril 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 132 N° 4 (Avril 2010) . - 04 p. Titre : Buoyancy effects on thermal boundary layer over a vertical plate with a convective surface boundary condition Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : O. D. Makinde, Auteur ; P. O. Olanrewaju, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : 04 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : buoyancy;  temperature;  fluids;  boundary  layers;  convection;  boundary-value  problems;  prandtl  number;  vertical  plates;  thermal  boundary  layers Résumé : This study aims to analyze the effects of thermal buoyancy on the laminar boundary layer about a vertical plate in a uniform stream of fluid under a convective surface boundary condition. Using a similarity variable, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations have been transformed into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically by applying shooting iteration technique together with fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme. The variations in dimensionless surface temperature and fluid-solid interface characteristics for different values of Prandtl number (Pr), local Grashof number Grx, and local convective heat transfer parameter Bix are graphed and tabulated. A comparison with previously published results on special case of the problem shows excellent agreement.
