Abstract
A boundary layer solution is presented to the steady free convection f rom a vertical plate with uniform surface heat flux conditions and imm ersed in a micropolar fluid. Numerical solutions for governing nonsimi lar boundary layer equations are presented for a range of values of th e material properties and Prandtl number of the fluid. An asymptotic s olution is developed for large distances away from the leading edge.
