Research Abstract

The problem of viscous flow and heat transfer over an 1-D unsteady free convection boundary layer from vertical surface has been studied by taking slip conditions & variable suction into consideration. The exponential decay with heat generation term was incorporated in the energy equation. The governing equations of the problem the unsteady nonlinear momentum & energy equations are reduced to be similar by introducing a time dependent length scale & by the usual method of similarity transformation. Maple solutions are obtained for a range value of suction parameter()0V, Prandtl number()Pr, velocity slip parameter ()a & temperature slip parameter ()b with & without internal heat generation. Flow & heat transfer characteristics are discussed & are given in figures & tables. Numerical result show that the internal heat generation effects have significant impacts on velocity profiles, temperature profiles & heat transfer rates from vertical surface
