Abstract :
The problem of mixed convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid along a vertical plate embedded in a thermally stratified porous medium in the presence of a uniform normal magnetic field, first order chemical reaction and subjected to a periodic suction velocity. The basic equations comprising the balance laws of mass, linear momentum and energy have been solved analytically using perturbation technique. Graphical results for the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number profiles are illustrated and discussed for various physical parametric values. The results of our study agree well with the previous solutions obtained without mass transfer and chemical reaction. The present study has great significance in different field of science and engineering.
