ABSTRACT: The effect of radiation on the unsteady natural convection flow past an infinite vertical plate is presented, wherein the plate temperature is a ramped one. The fluid considered here is a gray, absorbing/emitting but a non-scattering medium. The influence of the various parameters entering into the problem on the velocity field, temperature field, skin friction and Nusselt number is studied.
