Abstract
Mixed convective gaseous slip flows in an open-ended vertical parallel-plate channel with symmetric and asymmetric wall heat fluxes are numerically investigated. Buoyancy effects on developing and fully devel- oped solutions are studied using the SIMPLE algorithm. The velocity and temperature fields are examined for different values of Knudsen number, mixed convection parameter and heat flux ratio. It is found that in- creasing Gr/Re leads to an increase in the heat transfer rate and friction coefficient. Also, rarefaction effects decrease the heat transfer rate and friction coefficient. The friction coefficient decreases with an increase in heat flux ratio
