Finite-difference analysis of mass transfer effects on flow past an impulsively started infinite isothermal vertical plate in dissipative fluid

The effects of mass transfer on the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical isothermal plate are studied. The non-linear coupled equations governing the problem are solved by explicit finite-difference method. The presence of different gases like H₂O, CO₂, ete in air are considered. Velocity and temperature profiles are shown on graphs. The finite-difference results are compared with the results derived from the exact solution and they are found to agree well
