Abstract

This paper revisits the fundamental problem of free convection heat and mass transfer over a heated vertical surface embedded in a porous medium using analytical techniques. An integral procedure is applied to the boundary layer similar equation for the combined heat and mass transfer from a vertical surface in a porous medium. The analytical approximations have covered a wide range of governing parameters of the problem. The results for both Nusselt and Sherwood numbers agree well with numerical results published in the literature. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
