Abstract

An analysis is made to study the steady two-dimensional boundary layer flow and reactive mass transfer past an exponentially stretching sheet in an exponentially moving free stream. The reaction rate of solute and the wall concentration distribution are taken variable. The governing equations are transformed and then solved numerically. The study reveals that the momentum boundary layer thickness is considerably smaller than that of stagnation point flow over stretching sheet. Due to increase of Schmidt number and reaction rate parameter the mass transfer considerably enhances. Importantly, for solute distribution, in addition to mass transfer, mass absorption occurs in certain situations.
