review text: The authors have been successful in solving the laminar convective heat transfer within parabolic enclosures. They have used finite difference technique called `staggering differencing' for both regular and irregular boundaries for all three equations for mass, momentum and energy as well. The mean Nusselt number, the most important number for various ranges of the length aspect ratio \(H/B\), \(Gr\) (the Grashof number), \(Pr\) (the Prandtl number), \(c_{ft}\) (the cavity factor), have been found. The behaviour of the Nusselt number for various parameters has been discussed.
