✦ Synopsis

A theoretical analysis of laminar natural convection heat transfer to a viscoelastic fiud has been done by the approximate integral method It has been observed that a similarity solution exists only for the case of a second order flusd in the stagnation region of a constant temperature heated horizontal cylinder Lack of proper experimental data prevented a quantitative comparison with the theoretical analysis, however, a qualitative comparison between the theory and the available experimental data has shown good agreement
