- Abstract
An attempt is made to investigate the problem of an oscillatory MHD free convective flow through a porous medium
with mass transfer, Soret effect and chemical reaction when the temperature as well as concentration at the plate
varies periodically with time about a steady mean. Analytical solutions to the coupled non-linear equations governing
the flow and heat and mass transfer are obtained by using regular perturbation technique. The influence of the different
parameters entering in to the problem viz. the Hartmann number M, the Grashof number for heat transfer r G , the
Grashof number for mass transfer m G , Soret number 0 S , the plate velocity U , chemical reaction h C etc. on
temperature distribution, species concentration, velocity distribution, skin-friction and the rates of heat and mass
transfer at the plate are discussed graphically.
