Theoretical study of thermal radiation effects on unsteady free convective flow over a moving vertical plate in a rotating fluid is considered. An exact solution is obtained for the axial and transverse components of the velocity by defining a complex velocity. The effects of rotation, radiation, free-convection parameters and the skin friction components on the plate are discussed.

A theoretical study of the effect of variable viscosity on the steady free convection flow in a horizontal infinite porous channel when a part of its bottom wall is heated is presented in this paper. The transformed equations are solved numerically using a finite-difference method. The effects of the Rayleigh number and viscosity parameter on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed.
