Abstract
The effects of lateral mass flux with prescribed temperature and velocity o n vertical free convection boundary layers in a fluid-saturated porous medi um with internal heat generation is studied in this paper. The wall tempera ture and wall mass transfer rates are taken proportional to some powers of the distance along the plate, which enable the governing equations to reduc ed to similarity form.
