The unsteady convective flow of a viscous, heat conducting fluid near an infinite vertical plate has been considered in a system rotating with a constant angular velocity. The governing partial differential equations have been solved exactly for the special case of Prandtl number equal to unity. Analytical expressions for the primary and secondary velocity profiles in the boundary layer as well as the corresponding skin friction components have been presented. The effects of rotation on the boundary layer flow and the skin friction have been discussed using the exact solution.
