    Double-diffusive mixed convection problem had been a notable topic of research in the last decade. Lack of study is noticed under mixed convection using this double-diffusive in an enclosure specifically for roof-based ventilation systems with unsteady, partially heated conditions. This study investigates the Prandtl number effect in a double-diffusive unsteady flow in a square-shaped room where the upper channel was used for ventilation, and inside the enclosure, the walls are partially heated and mass concentrated. Galerkin residual method was implemented to get the governing equations. The Prandtl number 0.071 ≤ Pr ≤ 7.1 was chosen for the study, changing the dimensionless time 0.1 ≤ τ ≤ 1. The results have been shown in the mode of graphical representation and contour plots to observe the Prandtl number effect in such problem. The velocity streamline, isotherm, isoconcentration plots, heat and mass transfer rate, average fluid temperature and average mass concentration, etc., are shown. Results showed that heat and mass transfer rise with the growth of the Prandtl number. This research would be the guide for the design consideration in such double-diffusive systems like roof-based air ventilation systems with partial heat and mass generation.
