Abstract

The current study explores heat and mass transfer analysis of unstable MHD boundary layer flow of electrically conducting Casson fluid near an infinite Perpendicular porous plate, moving with variable velocity. Mass diffusion equation was described by the homogenous first order chemical reaction. The equations controlling the flow converted into dimensionless form and solved by applying Laplace transform method and the expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration of the flow are acquired in exact form. To understand the physical insight of the problem a detailed study of involved parameters of the flow was done and explained in detailed with graphs. The physical parameters of engineering interest are skin friction, Nussselt number and Sherwood number. The analytical expressions are procured in exact form in terms of error and exponential functions. The impact of different physical parameters is analyzed with the aid of the tables.
