Abstract

The problem of an oscillatory MHD mass transfer flow through a channel filled in a porous medium in presence of heat source, chemical reaction and thermal diffusion has been discussed. Fluid slip is imposed at the lower wall and the uniform magnetic field is assumed to be imposed transversely to the direction of the flow. The resultant governing equations are solved in closed form. The expressions for the velocity field, temperature field, concentration field, the coefficient of Skin-friction at the walls in the direction of the flow and the coefficient of the heat and mass transfer in term of Nusselt Number and Sherwood Number at the walls are obtained in non-dimensional form. The effects of Velocity slip, Solutal Grashof Number, Schmidt Number, Hartmann Number, Soret Number, Heat source Parameter, Chemical reaction parameter, and Radiation parameter on the flow and transport characteristics are studied through graphs and the results are physically interpreted for conclusions.
