Abstract

A numerical solution for the free convection flow past a vertical semi-infinite flat plate embedded in a highly saturated porous medium by allowing the plate to have a non-uniform temperature or a non-uniform heat flux distributions has been developed. Both local heat transfer rate and excess surface temperature as a function of the distance along the plate are tabulated for a few cases of prescribed wall temperature and heat flux distributions. Such tabulations serve as a reference against which other approximate solutions can be compared in the future.
