Convection flow over a uniform-flux vertical surface with variable viscosity
A regular perturbation analysis is presented for natural convection flow over an uniform flux vertical surface with temperature dependent viscosity. Numerical calculations are presented for \(P_ r=6.7\) which show that the first-order correction to the local temperature difference and to the local skin-friction are negative whereas it is positive for the local Nusselt number. The effects of variable viscosity on the temperature, velocity profiles, the local temperature difference, the local Nusselt number and the local skin friction are discussed.
