摘要：

The problem of two-dimensional, steady-state, natural-convection on a finite-size, isothermal, horizontal plate is examined theoretically for the case in which a cold plate faces upwards or a hot plate faces downwards. The boundary layer equations of continuity, energy and momentum are solved using an integral analysis in order to determine the heat transfer at the plate surface. An essential part of this analysis is the use of the concept or condition that the boundary layer depth at the plate edge is equal to a critical depth. The results of this analysis agree very well with the existing experimental correlation equation for air. © 1969.
