Abstract: | The combined free convection boundary layer flow with thermal radiation and mass transfer past a permeable vertical plate is studied when the plate moves in its own plane. The plate is maintained at a uniform temperature with uniform species concentration and the fluid is considered to be gray, absorbing–emitting. The coupled unsteady non-linear momentum, energy and concentration equations governing the problem is obtained and made similar by introducing a time-dependent length scale. The similarity equations are solved numerically using superposition method. The resulting velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are shown graphically for different values of parameters entering into the problem. The numerical values of the local wall shear stress, local surface heat and mass flux are shown in tabular form. |
