The paper investigates the time independent effect of Stack- driven airflow in cross- ventilated building with multiple opening in the presence of constant indirect flow velocity. The dimensionless model of momentum and energy equations are analyzed, using second order linear differential equation to develop the explicit expression for velocity, temperature profiles together with volumetric and mass- transfer by means of separation of variable method. Some numerical examples are presented graphically in order to illustrate the effects of physical parameters involved in the study. From the course of investigation, it was observed air temperature and velocity increase with the increase in both parameters (θ0), (Pr) and (Gr). Respectively. In addition, comparison with previously published work by A. L. Muhammad et. al (2016) was performed. In which, the study concluded that, the results for present work is more effective and efficient than the previous work in term of ventilation process. Finally, from the course of investigation, it was observed air temperature and velocity increase with the increase in both parameters (θ0), (Pr) and (Gr) respectively.
