Abstract
The fully-developed mixed convection of power-law fluids is investigated for laminar flow in a parallel-plate vertical channel. The boundary condition of uniform and unequal temperatures prescribed at the channel walls is considered. The velocity field, the viscous stress field and the temperature field are obtained by solving analytically the momentum and energy balance equations as well as the stress-strain constitutive equation. An expression which allows the evaluation of the friction factors is presented. The condition for the occurrence of flow reversal is obtained.
