MHD FLOW OVER AN INFINITE VERTICAL OSILATING POROUS PLATE WITH RADIATION ,CHEMICAL REACTION AND DUFOUR EFFECT

Abstract

This work analyses the non linear MHD flow heat and mass transfer characteristics of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting and Boussinesq fluid over a vertical oscillating porous permeable plate in presence of homogeneous chemical reaction of first order, thermal radiation and Dufour effects. The problem is solved analytically using the perturbation technique for the velocity, the temperature, and the concentration field. The expression for the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are obtained. The effects of various thermo-physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration as well as the skinfriction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number has been computed and discussed qualitatively.
