Abstract
An analysis of the two-dimensional flow of water at 4°C past an infinite porous plate is presented, when the plate is subjected to a normal suction velocity and the heat flux at the plate is constant. Approximate solutions are derived for the velocity and temperature fields and the skin-friction. The effects ofG (Grashof number) andE (Eckert number) on the velocity and temperature fields are discussed.
