INTRODUCTION Due to wide ranging applications in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Technology and in situations demanding efficient transfer of mass over inclined beds, the viscous drainage over an inclined rigid plane has been the subject of considerable interest to theoretical and experimental investigators during the last several years. In all experiments, where the transfer of viscous liquid from one container to another is involved, the rate at which the transfer takes place and the thin film adhering to the surfaces of the container is to be taken into account for the purpose of chemical calculations. Failure to do so leads to experimental error. Hence, the need for such analysis. The problem of flow of viscous incompressible fluid moving under gravity down a fixed inclined plane with the assumption that the velocity of the fluid at the free surface is given has been examined earl
