Abstract: Forced and mixed convection of a Newtonian fluid inside a vertical parallel plate channel is studied, considering all related physical properties varying with temperature, including variable density (non-Boussinesq effects). The Generalized Integral Transform Technique is employed in the hybrid numerical-analytical solution of the compressible boundary layer equations in the stream-function-only formulation. The solution is compared to previously reported approximate literature data, showing good agreement, and different models (Boussinesq, compressible with constant properties, and compressible with variable properties) are also compared in order to establish the range of application for each.
