Abstract
In this article, we aim at obtaining the analytical expressions ({\bf not previously found and not recorded in the literature}) for the exact curved surface area of a hemiellpsoid in terms of Appell's double hypergeometric function of first kind. The derivation is based on Mellin-Barnes type contour integral representations of generalized hypergeometric function$~_pF_q(z)$, Meijer's $G$-function and analytic continuation formula for Gauss function. Moreover, we obtain some special cases related to ellipsoid, Prolate spheroid and Oblate spheroid. The closed forms for the exact curved surface area of a hemiellpsoid are also verified numerically by using {\it Mathematica Program}.
