Popis:	A general analysis has been developed to study the combined effect of the free convective heat and mass trans- fer on the unsteady two-dimensional boundary layer flow over a stretching vertical plate. The flow is subject to magnetic field normal to the plate. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations have been reduced to the coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the similarity transformations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta the shooting technique. The effects of the Magnetic field Parameter M, buoyancy parameter N, Prandtl num- ber Pr and Schmidt number Sc are examined on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Numerical data for the skin-friction coefficients, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have been tabulated for various parametric conditions.
