Abstract
This paper deals with effect of chemical reaction and radiation absorption on the unsteady MHD natural convection flow in a vertical channel filled with porous materials. One of the plate moves with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow while the other plate is stationary. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous plate, which absorbs the fluid with a suction velocity varying with time. The dimensionless governing equations for this problem are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and non-harmonic perturbation series method. The results of the analytical solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of both phases are graphically presented and discussed. It is noteworthy to mention that growing permeability and channel width parameter lead to increase in the fluid velocity profile. Results in the present work have been compared with other works in literature and an excellent agreement is found.
