Abstract :
A study of an unsteady flow past a semi- infinite plate with oscillations in temperature is presented in this work. The non-linear differential equations governing flow and heat transfer have been solved numerically by using Alternating–Direction-Implicit (ADI) Technique. The numerical values of velocity and temperature are obtained and presented graphically at different times and for different values of Prandtl number and frequency parameter. It is observed that velocity decreases with increase in Prandtl number and frequency parameter.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Heat transfer, oscillating temperature, Prandtl number
