Abstract

Non-similar solution of a steady mixed convection flow over a horizontal flat plate in the presence of surface mass transfer (suction or injection) is obtained when there is power-law variation in surface temperature. The surface temperature is assumed to vary as a power of the axial coordinate measured from the leading edge of the plate. A non-similar mixed convection parameter is considered which covers the whole convection regime, namely from pure free convection to pure forced convection. Numerical results are reported here to account the effects of Prandtl number, surface temperature, surface mass transfer parameter (suction or injection) on velocity and temperature profiles, and skin friction and heat transfer coefficients.
