Unsteady free convective flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with ramped wall heat flux

The effects of heat transfer on the flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with ramped wall heat flux has been studied. It is found that both the fluid velocity as well as the fluid temperature decrease with an increase in Prandtl number. It is also found that the velocity increases with an increase in either Grashof number or accelerated parameter. Further, it is found that both the fluid velocity as well as the fluid temperature increase when time progresses. The absolute value of the shear stress at the plate reduces with an increase in Prandtl number while it increases with an increase in Grashof number.
