Abstract:
Natural convection flow from a porous
vertical plate in presence of heat generation have
been presented here. The governing boundary
layer equations are first transformed into a non
dimensional form and the resulting non linear
system of partial differential equations are then
solved numerically using finite difference method
together with Keller-Box scheme. The numerical
results of the surface shear stress in terms of skin
friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer in
terms of local Nusselt number, velocity as well as
temperature profiles are shown graphically and
tabular form for a selection of parameters set of
consisting of heat generation parameter Q,
Prandtl number Pr.
