Computer codes have been developed to predict the velocity and temperature profiles in the natural convection boundary layer on the inside of the vertical walls of the wrap-around heat exchanger tank. A brief description of several of the methods considered is given. Heat and mass transfer results for these various methods are compared for one sample case with the results of an accurate finite difference solution obtained with Keller`s box method
