Abstract. The boundary layer equations for the steady laminar flow pasta heated vertical plate embedded
in a saturated porous medium have been considered.
The approximate solutions of axial and ·transverse boundary
layers have been obtained under the
assumption that u = uoϕ (η) where uo is free stream velocity. Following the technique adopted
by Chandrashakara and Choudhary (1976) the characteristic parameters like shear stress boundary layer thickness have been calculated for various parameters
involved in
the problem and they have been exhibited in tabular form. The velocity
and temperature distributions have been investigated
and hence the expression for heat
transfer has been estimated and further concluded that this expression coincides with the well-known POHIHAUSEN formula..
