The fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to vary linearly with temperature. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a linear algebraic system utilizing the Chebyshev collocation method in spatial and the Crank-Nicolson method in time. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles as well as for the local skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are obtained and reported in tabular form and graphically for various parametric conditions to show interesting aspects of the solution. %8 2009-04-17
