Abstract

A two dimensional unsteady free convection and mass transfer of fresh and salt water flow on an inclined plate in the presence of Halls' current and constant heat flux has been analyzed numerically by an explicit finite difference method. The governing equations are derived using the boundary layer and Boussinesqs' approximations. These equations and boundary conditions are non- dimensionalized using usual transformation. The resulting non linear coupled partial differential equations are then solved numerically subject to the transformation boundary conditions by explicit finite difference methods. The numerical results for the dimensionless velocities; temperature and concentration profiles are examined and displayed graphically. Due to the physical interest the values of shear stress, the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented in tabular form for various parameters which enter into the problem to show the interesting outcomes of the solutions.
