Summary: A unified analysis is derived for the treatment of the laminar unsteady boundary layer equations with heat conductive mass transfer to establish conditions under which similarity solutions are possible. The method of new similarity technique is applied to derive the various conditions under which similarity variables for the unsteady thermal boundary layer flows is exist. Controlled similarity equations reduce to some well known flow equations. Numerical solution is discussed in detail.
