Abstract

This manuscript presents an analytical investigation on unsteady MHD free convective viscous incompressible flow of electrically conducting Jeffery fluid with heat source, past an infinite vertical porous flat plate in slip flow regime. A uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plate is applied. The presence of thermal radiation, heat source, radiation absorption and chemical reaction are included. The effects of flow parameters and thermo physical properties on the velocity temperature and concentration fields across the boundary layer are investigated. The forms of the wall Shear stress, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are derived. The results are shown in figures and tables followed by a quantitative discussion.
