Abstract

The effect of rotation on unsteady free-convective started vertical plate is considered. It is assumed that the induced magnetic field is negligible compared to the applied magnetic field, which is fixed with the moving plate. Mathematical expressions for velocity and skin-friction are obtained by the Laplace transform technique. The profiles for velocity components are shown graphically with the effects of the rotation parameter, magnetic parameter and Grashof number. The numerical values of skin-friction components are given in tabalar form for different values of the parameters.
