- Abstract
Radiative heat transfer effects on unsteady flow of viscous incompressible fluid past a uniformly accelerated infinite
vertical plate with variable temperature and uniform mass flux has been studied. The fluid considered here is a gray,
absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. An exact solution to the dimensionless governing equations
has been obtained by the Laplace transform method, when the plate is linearly accelerated with a velocity u = u t′

its own plane. The plate temperature is raised linearly with time and the concentration level near the plate is also
raised at a uniform rate. The velocity, temperature and concentration fields are studied for different physical
parameters like thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, radiation
parameter and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of thermal Grashof number or
mass Grashof number. But the trend is just reversed with respect to the thermal radiation parameter.
