Unsteady conjugate forced convection heat/mass transfer from a finite flat plate

Numerical methods are used to investigate the transient, conjugate, forced convection heat/mass transfer from a finite flat plate to a steady stream of viscous, incompressible fluid. The heat/mass balance equations were solved numerically in Cartesian coordinates by a finite difference method. The values considered for the plate Reynolds number and Prandtl number are Re=100 and Pr=0.1, 1 and 10. The computations were focused on the influence of the physical properties ratios and aspect ratio on the heat/mass transfer rate.
