HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER ON UNSTEADY MHD FREE CONVECTION FLOW OF CHEMICALLY REACTIVE AND RADIATIVE FLOW PAST A VERTICAL POROUS PLATE IN SLIP FLOW REGIME WITH HEAT SOURCE/SINK AND THERMAL DIFFUSION
This paper seeks to explore the effect of oscillatory MHD free convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, conducting, radiating and reacting fluid with periodic suction which passes through a vertical plate in slip flow regime. A uniform magnetic field is applied in perpendicular direction to the plate. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved with the help of perturbation technique. The effects of thermal-diffusion, thermal radiation, heat source and chemical reaction on the characteristics of the flow are studied graphically. It is seen that thermal-diffusion and heat source effects have a significant role in controlling the flow pattern.
