This paper focuses on the effects of chemical reaction on an unsteady magneto hydrodynamic free convection fluid flow past an infinite vertical porous plate with constant suction has been analyzed. The dimensionless governing equations are solved numerically by a finite element method. The effects of the various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically and values of skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for various values of physical parameters are presented through tables.

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.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study chemical reaction and heat and mass transfer effects on steady free convection flow in an inclined porous plate in the presence of MHD and viscous dissipation through the application of scaling group of transformation and numerical method. Design/methodology/approach – The fourth-order Runge-Kutta along with the shooting method is employed in the numerical solution of the governing equations. Findings – The magnetic field parameter, the permeability of porous medium and the viscous dissipation are demonstrated to exert a more significant effect on the flow field and, thus, on the heat transfer from the plate to the fluid. Originality/value – The problem is relatively original.
