The investigation is undertaken to study the thermal diffusion and radiation effects on unsteady MHD heat and mass transfer flow past a semi-infinite inclined porous plate embedded in a porous medium in a slip flow regime with variable suction in the presence of first order chemically reaction. The analytical solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration fields are obtained by reducing the governing nonlinear coupled partial differential equations in dimensionless form into a system of ordinary differential equations, using perturbation method. The effect of pertinent flow parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, the skin friction, the rate of heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer are studied graphically.

The present study investigates an analytical solution of free convective unsteady fluid flow in presence of thermal diffusion and chemical reaction effects past a vertical porous plate with heat source dependent in slip flow regime. The plate is assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow, while free stream velocity is assumed to follow exponentially increasing small perturbation law. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically for different values of the parameters entering into the problem. Finally the effects of pertinent parameters on the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood numbers distributions are derived and have shown through graphs and tables by using perturbation technique.
