The present work introduces a method for searching initial values, to solve non-similar Boundary Layer problems. The new method has been applied to the problem of mixed convection on a Wedge. An analysis is performed to study the effects of buoyancy force on the heat transfer and friction characteristics of laminar forced convection flow which is either maintained at a uniform temperature or subjected to a uniform temperature or subjected to a uniform heat flux.
Numerical results are presented for Prandtl number of 7,0 over a wide range of values of the buoyancy force parameters (0 to 100 for uniform temperature and 0 to 5 for uniform heat flux). The results for the vertical plate and for the similar wedge (120 graus celsius)
Have been compared with solutions availabein the literature, showing an excellent agreement. In addition, solutions for the 90 degree celsius wedge and for the flat wall (180 degree celsius are also obtained. In general, it is found that for both surface heating conditions, the local friction factor and the local Nusselt number increase with increasing bouyancy force for assisting flow and decrease with inscreasing bouyancy force for opposing flow. Further, the effects of the buoyancy force on these two quantities are found to diminish as the angle of the wedge increases. A comparison is also made of the results beteween the case of uniform wall temperature and the case of uniform surface heat flux.
The method turns possible to obtain results with the use of a microcomputer PC AT-286 with a Math co-processor, discarding the use of double precision. The tolerances for convergence are the same as the results available in the literature. The necessary computacional time to get the solution was greatly reduced. For the entire range of the buoyancy force parameter, the governing equations are the same, based upon forced convection parameters. To illustrate the flexibility of the method, the surface mass trasnfer problem of uniform injection (blowing) in a flat plate under forced cnvection, has been solved and the results compared with the available ones in the literature.
