Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to develop useful correlations for the local and average Nusselt numbers in laminar boundary layers along a horizontal, continuous sheet moving in an otherwise quiescent environment. Such correlations have not been presented in the past. The available results have been extended to cover higher buoyancy parameter values and a wider range of Prandtl numbers. Both the uniform wall temperature (UWT) and the uniform surface heat flux (UHF) cases are examined in this study.
