The objective of this paper is to analyze an unsteady MHD free convective heat and mass transfer boundary flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate immersed in a porous medium with radiation and chemical reaction. The governing equations of the flow field are solved numerical a two term perturbation method. The effects of the various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically and values of skin-frication coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for various values of physical parameters are presented through tables.

An exact solution of the problem of the unsteady free convection and mass transfer flow near an infinite vertical porous plate, which moves with time-dependent velocity in a viscous and incompressible fluid, is presented here by the Laplace transform technique. All expressions of the new solutions of the present problem were obtained in closed forms with arbitrary Prandtl number (Pr), Schmidt number (Sc), thermal Grashof number (Gr), and mass Grashof number (Gm). Two applications of physical interest for porous or nonporous plate are discussed. Applying numerical values into the expressions of analytical solution, we was also discussed the vertical air flows—the usual phenomenon at plumes into the atmosphere.

The Dufour and Soret effects on unsteady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium have been studied numerically. The non-linear partial differential equations, governing the problem under consideration, have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effects of various parameters entering into the problem have been examined on the flow field for a hydrogen-air mixture as a non-chemical reacting fluid pair. Finally, the numerical values of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also presented in tabular form.
