The fully developed free convection flow in a vertical slot with open to capped ends discussed by Weidman [5] and Magyari [6] is scrutinized in this present work. Exact solution of momentum and energy equations under relevant boundary conditions as discussed in [5, 6] is obtained using the D’Alembert’s method. Numerical comparison of this present work is made with previous result of [6] and the results were justified using the well-known implicit finite difference method (IFDM); this gives an excellent comparison. During the course of numerical investigation, it is found that D’Alembert’s approach is a simpler, reliable and accurate tool for solving coupled equations.
