Unsteady flow of an eclectically conducting and incompressible viscoelastic liquid of the Walter model with simultaneous heat and mass transfer near an oscillating porous plate in slip flow regime under the influence of a transverse magnetic field of uniform strength is presented. The governing equations of the flow field are solved by a regular perturbation method for small elastic parameter, and the expressions for the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction , the heat flux in terms of the Nusselt number , and the rate of mass transfer in terms of the Sherwood number are obtained. The effects of the important flow parameters on the dynamics are discussed. Findings of the study reveal that the rarefaction parameter accelerates the fluid particles in the flow domain. Elastic parameter contributes to sudden fall of the velocity near the plate. Magnetic force contributes to greater skin friction as the time elapses. Destructive reaction reduces, whereas generative reaction enhances the concentration distribution.

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.
