Abstract

This paper reports us the surface temperature distribution effects of free convective flow along a vertical flat plate with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and viscous dissipation with asymptotic solution. The governing equations with associated boundary conditions reduce to local non-similarity boundary layer equations for this phenomenon are converted to dimensionless forms using a suitable transformation. The transformed non-linear equations are then solved using the implicit finite difference method together with Keller-box technique. Numerical results of the velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction and surface temperature profiles for different values of the thermal conductivity variation parameter, the Prandtl number and the viscous dissipation parameters are presented graphically. Also we considered the asymptotic solution for the effect of the thermal conductivity variation parameter, the Prandtl number and the viscous dissipation parameters in skin friction and surface temperature profiles. Detailed discussion is given for the aforementioned parameters. A good similarity is found in small and large value solution with all value solution for the thermal conductivity variation parameter, the Prandtl number and the viscous dissipation parameter for skin friction and surface temperature. Divergence is found near one (1).
