• THERMAL RADIATION EFFECTS ON ROTATING FLUID PAST A VERTICAL PLATE WITH VARIABLE MASS DIFFUSION

Abstract

Theoretical study of thermal radiation effects on unsteady free convection and variable mass diffusion over a moving vertical plate in a rotating fluid is considered. An exact solution is obtained for the axial and transverse components of the velocity by defining a complex velocity. The effects of velocity, temperature and concentration for different parameters like radiation parameter, rotation parameter, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Prandtl number and time on the plate are discussed.
