Laminar boundary layers with vectored mass transfer

Abstract

By using Keller's Box method, the effects of vectored mass transfer with heat transfer on boundary layer flows with variable gas properties, non-unity Prandtl number and non-zero E( = u 2 e 2H e ) has been studied. The results have been compared with the results obtained by other investigators and it has been found that the point of inflexion in velocity and total enthalpy profiles responsible for inducing instability in the flows, can be avoided under certain circumstances.
