This computational study explores the properties of non-uniform heat source/sink on the fluid transport properties of a chemically reacting nanofluid with two types of geometries saturated with porous medium. Simulations have been done to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics using Crank-Nicolson scheme. Influence of active parameters such as Hartman number, heat source and sinks, Brownian diffusion, higher order chemical reaction, Prandtl number and thermophoretic diffusivity are graphically presented. Tables demonstrate the significant impact of sundry parameters on skin-friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates. The achieved results expose that the heat source/sink parameter has high influences on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. A decrease in average skin friction factor due to the magnetic field is more significant in the flow on a plate than that of cone.

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.
