The partial differential equations governing the unsteady convective flow of a fluid have been solved exactly when the flow takes place near an infinite vertical plate in a system rotating with a constant angular velocity. Exact analytical solutions for the boundary layer velocity variables and skin friction components have been presented separately for the cases of fluids whose Prandtl numbers are less than or greater than unity. The influence of rotation on the temporal and spatial variations of these physical quantities has been discussed for two specific fluids, each belonging to the two separate Prandtl number categories considered. It is seen that the rotation parameter and the Prandtl number have significant effects on the boundary layer velocity and skin friction.
