An analysis is performed to study the transient free convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a semi-infinite inclined plate with viscous dissipation. The dimensionless governing equations are unsteady, coupled and non-linear integro partial differential equations. An analytical method fails to give a solution. Hence an implicit finite difference scheme of Crank-Nicolson method is employed. The effect of the dissipation parameter on the velocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number are studied in detail. It is observed that greater viscous dissipative heat causes a rise in the temperature irrespective of the Prandtl number.
