Abstract
An analysis is presented to study the heat and mass transfer character istics of natural convection flow along horizontal and inclined plates with variable surface temperature/concentration or heat/mass flux und er the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion. Numeri cal results are obtained for two values of Schmidt number covering the range of diffusion species of common interest like water vapour, carb on dioxide and naphthalene in air.
