Steady laminar free convection about heated isothermal vertical and horizontal plates is studied in the Rayleigh-number range up t 300 at Prandtl numbers of 0·72 and 10·0. The governing hydrodynamic and energy equations are solved by a numerical finite-difference scheme, yielding details of the momentum and energy fields. In the low Grashof-number range, the energy transfer is predominantly by heat conduction, while thermal convection prevails in the upper range. The effect of Prandtl number is such that the field behaviors can be generally correlated well with a single parameter, the Rayleigh number. Finally, it is also shown that the overall heat-transfer rates agree reasonably well with existing experimental data in the literature.
