Abstract
A general integral solution procedure has been suggested for the analysis of the forced convective heat transfer to the power-law-non-Newtonian fluids from bodies of arbitrary geometrical configuration. Both the free stream velocity and wall temperature are allowed to vary in arbitrary fashion. The set of governing equations has been eventually reduced to a pair of characteristic equations: one first order ordinary differential equation and another integral equation, which can readily be solved, once the power-law exponent, body geometry, external velocity distribution and wall temperature distribution are specified. Comparison of the calculated results with available experimental data and series expansion solutions suggests an excellent performance of the present approximate solution procedure.
