In this paper, hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of laminar incompressible slip flow over an isothermal semi-infinite flat plate at a relatively low Mach number are considered and revised. The nonsimilar and local similarity solutions of the boundary layer equations with velocity-slip and temperature-jump boundary conditions are obtained numerically for the gaseous slip flow. The numerical calculations are made by assuming no thermal jump for the liquid flow. In addition, the approximate analytical solution of the boundary layer equations for high slip parameter is presented. Results from nonsimilar solution, local similarity approach, and approximate analytical solution are compared. We show that the local similarity approach used by several authors in the last decades produces substantial errors in hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of the flow. Furthermore, accurate correlations of these characteristics are proposed for gaseous and liquid slip flows. The results of nonsimilar solution show, unlike the previous studies, that the overall skin friction coefficient presents a very slight decrease (indistinguishable) in the interval of the slip flow regime, whereas it decreases significantly as the flow becomes more rarefied. Moreover, with increasing slip condition, the results of overall Nusselt number, for gaseous flow, show that the heat transfer at the plate decreases slightly in the interval of slip flow regime while it increases in the case of liquids flow. This study confirms that for the accurate prediction of characteristics of slip flow, the slip parameter must be treated as a variable rather than a constant in the boundary layer.
