- Abstract
This problem concerns with an analytical study of heat and mass transfer on unsteady MHD convective flow past a semi-infinite porous vertical plate in presence of thermal diffusion, heat sink and chemical reaction. A uniform magnetic field is imposed transversely to the plate. The governing equations are solved by perturbation technique. The expressions for the velocity, temperature and concentration fields as well as transport properties are obtained in non-dimensional form. The influence of the physical parameters like magnetic field parameter, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, heat sink parameter, chemical reaction parameter and Soret number on these fields is discussed through graphs and tables. It is found that the presence of thermal diffusion enhances the fluid motion.
