In this work, a similarity equation of the momentum boundary layer is studied for a moving flat plate with mass transfer in a stationary fluid. The solution is applicable to the practical problem of a shrinking sheet with a constant sheet velocity. Theoretical estimation of the solution domain is obtained. It is shown that the solution only exists with mass suction at the wall surface. The equation with the associated boundary conditions is solved using numerical techniques. Greatly different from the continuously stretching surface problem and the Blasius problem with a free stream, quite complicated behavior is observed in the results. It is seen that there are three different solution zones divided by two critical mass transfer parameters, f01≈1.7028f01≈1.7028 and f02≈1.7324f02≈1.7324. When f0
