Flow past an impulsively started vertical plate with constant heat flux and mass transfer

Finite-difference solution of the transient natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an impulsively started semi-infinite plate with constant heat flux and mass transfer is presented here. The Velocity profiles are compared with exact solution and are found to be in good agreement. The steady-state velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically. It is observed that there is a rise in the velocity due to the presence of a mass diffusion. The local as well as average skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown graphically.
