摘要
Similarity solutions for the problem of free convection flow over a non-isothermal horizontal plate embedded in porous media are investigated in the presence of internal heat generation. The porous medium is saturated with non-Newtonian power law fluid. Numerical results are obtained for the effect of power law temperature profile and fluid index on the heat transfer characteristics.
