The problem of simultaneous heat and mass transfer in laminar free convection from a vertical flat plate is investigated theoretically. An integral method is used to find solutions for zero wall velocity and for a mass-transfer velocity at the wall, with the wall either insulated or held at a constant temperature. The zero-wall-velocity solution is compared with existing solutions and data for simultaneous heat and mass transfer, heat transfer alone and mass trans-fer alone. (auth)
