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.

This paper examines the effect of some thermo-physical properties of fluid on heat and mass transfer flow past semi-infinite moving vertical plate. The fluid considered is optically thin such that the thermal radiative heat loss on the fluid is modeled using Rosseland approximation.The governing partial differential equations in dimensionless forms are solved numerically using the Method of Lines (MOL). The velocity, the temperature, and the concentration profiles of the flow are discussed numerically and presented. Numerical values of the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number at the plate are discussed numerically for various values of thermo-physical parameters and they are presented by the tables.The result shows that an increase in thermal radiation causes increase in velocity and temperature profiles of the flow, thus, the thermal radiation intensifies the convective flow. Also, an increase in Soret number causes increase in velocity and concentration profiles of the flow while the effect is negligible on temperature profile distribution. Similarly, an increase in Dufour number causes increase in velocity and temperature profiles of the flow.
