Abstract

The problem of free convection flow of an elastico-viscous liquid through a vertical circular cylinder at constant temperature including the effects of frictional heating and distributed heat sources or sinks has been considered. The equations of motion and energy have been solved by an iteration technique. The effects of the elasticity of the liquid, buoyancy forces and heat sources or sinks on the velocity and temperature fields, skin-friction and Nusselt number have been discussed.
