NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER OSCILLATORY FLOW OF AN ELASTICO-VISCOUS FLUID FROM VERTICAL PLATE

This paper examines the problem of two dimensional unsteady free convection oscillatory flow of an Elastico-viscous fluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate with constant heat flux and heat generation. The flow is subjected to a constant suction. Using perturbation techniquethe expressions are obtained for velocity, temperature distribution and skin friction. The results obtained are discussed for various numerical values of the parameters entered into the equations governing the flow, with help of graphs. Index terms:Elastico-viscous fluid, free convection, Porous medium, vertical plate. 1
