Abstract

An analysis of the two-dimensional flow of an incompressible, viscous binary fluid past an infinite, porous, vertical plate is presented under the following conditions: (i) the suction velocity is constant; (ii) the free stream oscillates in time about a constant mean; (iii) the plate moves in the upward direction in its own plane; (iv) the temperature of the plate is constant; (v) there are heat generation (absorption) in the fluid.

Approximate solutions for the coupled non-linear equations are obtained for the velocity, temperature and their related quantities and the influence of the various parameters entering into the problem is discussed.
