Summary We study here stability of non-isothermal flow between two closely spaced, heat conducting, infinite parallel flat plates of lengthl and distanceh apart. Fluid enters uniformly alongx = 0 at temperatureT 1 〉T w the plate temperature. The flow non-uniformity is assumed to occur due to coupling between the energy equation, which describes the heat transfer mechanism between fluid and channel walls, and the flow equation which includes the temperature dependence of viscosity. The model for the flow assumes that similarity profiles exist for velocity and temperature in the flow direction. The stability of the unidirectional flow by a linearized first order perturbation analysis of the proposed model is examined.
