Abstract

In the present analysis we study two dimensional unsteady MHD free convection laminar heat and mass transfer flows past a vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium with variable suction in the presence of chemical reaction and soret effects. Perturbation technique is applied to transform the non linear coupled governing partial differential equations in dimensionless form into a system of ordinary differential equations. The equations are solved analytically and the solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration fields are obtained. The effects of various parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are presented graphically.
