• MASS TRANSFER EFFECTS ON FLOW PAST A PARABOLIC STARTED VERTICAL PLATE WITH VARIABLE TEMPERATURE AND MASS DIFFUSION

Abstract

The hypothetical solution of flow past a parabolic starting motion of the infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and variable mass diffusion has been studied. The plate temperature and the concentration level near the plate are raised linearly with time. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the Laplace-transform technique.  The effect of velocity profiles are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, and time. It is observed that the velocity increases as the value of the thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number increase. The trend is just reversed with respect to the Schmidt number.
