Free convection over a vertical flat plate embedded in a thermally stratified porous medium is analyzed by exploiting the similarity transformation procedure. Numerical integration results are presented for a series of wall and ambient temperature distributions which permit similarity solutions. The conjugate conduction connection problems of a free convection fin embedded in a thermally stratified porous medium is examined, and it is shown that the influence of the thermal stratification on the heat transfer is quite significant. 8 references.
