文摘A mathematical model is presented to study the effect of chemical reaction on unsteady natural convection boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite vertical cylinder. Taking into account the buoyancy force effects, for the situation in which the surface temperature and are subjected to the power-law surface heat and mass flux as and .
