Abstract
The mixed convective heat and mass transfer over a horizontal plate has been investigated. A diffusion equation with a chemical reaction source term is taken into account. By applying transformation group theory to the analysis of the governing equations, we obtain a similarity solution of the problem in the case that the temperature and concentration at the wall and the moving speed of the plate are proportional to power distributions along the distance from the leading edge. Furthermore the similarity equations have been solved numerically by a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme. The numerical results obtained for various values of the Schmidt number, chemical reaction parameter and buoyancy parameters reveal the influence of the parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer behavior.
