Similarity analysis for natural convection from a vertical plate with distributed wall concentration. (English) Zbl 0963.76083

From the summary: We examine the steady laminar natural convection flow over a semi-infinite vertical plate. It is assumed that the concentration of a species along the plate follows some algebraic law with respect to chemical reactions. Then we obtain similarity solutions for different orders of reaction. Numerical results, based on the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, are presented for Schmidt number ranging from 0.0 to 100, and for reaction order from 0.0 to 1.5.
