M. Vijayabarathi, V. Visalakshi

Abstract: In this paper the unsteady laminar free-convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid, past parabolic started infinite isothermal vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction is considered. The Laplace transform method is used to obtain the expression for skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. The effect of velocity profiles are studied for different physical parameters like Prandt number, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, magnetic parameter, chemical reaction parameter, radiation parameter and time.
