Summary

THE BOUNDARY-LAYER FLOW OVER SEMI-INFINITE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL FLAT PLATES, HEATED TO A CONSTANT TEMPERATURE IN A UNIFORM FREE STREAM, IS STUDIED WHEN THE BUOYANCY FORCES EITHER AID OR OPPOSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER. DIFFERENT MIXED-CONVECTION PARAMETERS ARE INTRODUCED IN THE FORMULATION. AN EFFECTIVE NUMERICAL SCHEME IS DEVELOPED TO INCORPORATE THE INTEGRAL BOUNDARY CONDITION APPEARING IN THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS OF THE FLOW OVER A HORIZONTAL FLAT PLATE. SIMPLE EXPLICIT EXPRESSIONS CORRELATING LOCAL NUSSELT NUMBERS OVER THE ENTIRE RANGE OF MIXED CONVECTION INTENSITY WHEN PRANDTL NUMBERS VARY FROM 0.1 TO 10 ARE DETERMINED.
