| Summary: | This article studies the unsteady free flow of a Casson fluid over an infinite vertical plate with constant wall temperature. The Problem is modelled by employing equations of continuity, momentum and energy. Exact solutions for the dimensionless velocity and temperature are established by the Laplace transform technique. The solutions that have been obtained, uncommon in the literature, satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions and can generate huge number of solutions for any motion problem with technical relevance of this type. For illustration, some special cases are considered. The velocity solutions are presented as a sum of convective and mechanical parts. Pertinent results are discussed and displayed graphically. |
