Abstract

The present study reveals the heat and mass transfer on the MHD flow of micropolar fluid in a porous medium within a rotating frame. In order to facilitate osillatory plate velocity with constant suction and first order chemical reaction has been considered. Using small perturbation approximation, the governing non-dimensional equations are solved. The influence of pertinent physical quantities on the flow phenomena have been presented graphically. The skin friction coefficient, wall couple stress, Nusselt and Sherwood number have also computed for different flow parameters and have presented in table. In the study, the applied magnetic field sets in to produce the resistive force i.e. the Lorentz force that resists the fluid motion throughout the domain. Attenuation in the Prandtl number is because of the slower thermal diffusivity resulted in a sharp reduction in the thermal boundary layer thickness. The retardation in the polar fluid concentration is greater in amount for the influence of heavier species.
