Abstract

The present paper describes MHD free convective, dissipative boundary layer flow past a vertical porous surface under the influence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction and constant suction, with the effect of uniform magnetic field which is applied normal to the surface is studied. The governing equations are solved using scaling group of transformations. The system remains invariant due to relations between the parameters of the transformations. By applying these transformations momentum equation, energy equation and diffusion equation reduced to non-linear 3rd and 2nd order ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved numerically. Finally the effects of various physical parameters of the flow are analyzed graphically using MATLAB
