INDIA ABSTRACT Under this study a rigorous literature review has been carried out to observe the research and development progress in natural convection heat transfer through inclined parallel flat surfaces with an objective to see the possibilities of research in this direction. The research work carried out by the various investigators in this respect along with their findings have been discussed and also presented in tabulated form. The paper is finally concluded with the scope for future work. Keywords: Natural Convection, Heat transfer coefficient, Lower Plate, Upper Plate, Inclined plate. 1. INTRODUCTION Considerable interest has been shown by the various investigators in recent years in
