Unsteady mixed convection flow past an infinite vertical porous plate with constant heat source

An exact analysis of the unsteady free and forced convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a porous plate has been presented in presence of a constant heat source. A solution has been derived by Laplace-transform technique. Velocity profiles, skin-friction and leading edge effects have been obtained. During the course of the discussion, the effects ofS (heat source parameter), (suction parameter) on velocity, skin-friction and leading edge effect have been extensively discussed with the help of graphs and the table.
