Abstract
This paper studies magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Brinkman type nanofluids with the influence of heat generation, chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The f luid i s taken ov er a v ertical plate flat p assing through a porous medium. Four distinct types of nano particles (Cu, Ag, TiO₂ and Al₂O₃) are taken in a base fluid H₂O. The vertical plate with constant temperature is oscillating in its own plane. The flow is described by the partial deferential equations with suitable initial and boundary conditions. The Laplace transform method is used to obtain the exact solutions for velocity, temperature and concentration. These solutions are interpreted graphically using computational software Mathcad-15 to analyze the influence of embedded parameters such as Brinkman parameter, permeability of porous medium, chemical reaction parameter, nano particle volume fraction, heat generation parameter, magnetic parameter and radiation parameter. Skin-friction, Sherwood number and Nusselt number are calculated mathematically.
