Abstract

This paper is to study an unsteady MHD free convection flow of a viscous dissipative Casson fluid past an exponentially infinite vertical plate through porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and temperature gradient heat source. Also the first order chemical reactions are taking into an account. At the same time, the plate temperature and concentration of the plate are raised to T * and C *. The set of partial differential equations is transformed into ordinary w w differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and then solved analytically by using regular perturbation technique procedure. The results for various non-dimensional physical parameters on the velocity, the temperature, and the concentration fields are displayed and discussed. The numerical values of the Skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number, and the Sherwood number of different values of physical parameters are constructed and analyzed. The convergence of the series solutions is examined.
