Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to analyze the effect of internal heat generation on mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer from a vertical flat plate. Suitable transformation is utilized to form a system of coupled non linear partial differential equations for governing both the flow and heat transfer. These equations have been solved numerically by utilizing an implicit finite difference scheme alongside quasilinearization method. Here the computed numerical results are displayed graphically in terms of local shear stress, the rate of local heat flux, temperature and velocity profiles for various values of internal heat generation parameter as well as Prandtl number.
