Abstract

This paper deals with the effects of inclined magnetic field and heat and mass transfer on unsteady two dimensional laminar flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a semi infinite moving vertical porous plate under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field with temperature dependent heat generation, viscous dissipation and homogeneous first order chemical reaction. The analytical expressions for the velocity, temperature and mass concentration are obtained. The effects of inclined magnetic field and material parameters like Grashof number for heat transfer, Grashof number for mass transfer, Prandtl number, Magnetic parameter, permeability parameter, Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter on velocity, temperature and mass concentration are discussed through graphs. In addition, the expressions for skin friction and rate of heat and mass transfer coefficients are derived and discussed numerically.
