Abstract
The effect of radiation on the flow past an impulsively started vertical plate in the presence of mass transfer is analyzed. The fluid is a gray, absorbing-emitting, and nonscattering medium and the Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. A rise of the velocity due to the presence of a foreign mass is observed. An increase in the Schmidt number (Sc < 1) and in the radiation parameter N leads to a decrease in the velocity. The skin friction increases due to the presence of a foreign mass when Sc < 1 and decreases at Sc = 1.
