AB - A mathematical model is presented and analyzed for steady two-dimensional  non-isothermal laminar free convective boundary layer flow along a  convectively heated moving horizontal plate. New similarity transformations  are developed using one parameter deductive group transformations and hence  the governing transport equations are reduced to a system of coupled,  nonlinear ordinary differential equations with associated boundary  conditions. The reduced equations are then solved numerically by an implicit  finite difference numerical method. The effects of pertinent parameters on  the non-dimensional velocity, temperature, friction factor and heat transfer  rates are investigated and presented graphically. It is found that friction  factor decreases with the free convective parameter and rate of heat  transfer increases with the convection-conduction parameter.
