Abstract
The problem of a two-dimensional free convective mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous, and electrically conducting fluid past a continuously moving semi-infinite vertical porous plate with large suction in the presence of a magnetic field applied normal to the plate is studied. The non-linear partial differential equations governing the flow have been transformed by a set of similarity transformations into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting system of the similarity equations are solved analytically adopting the perturbation technique. The expressions for the velocity field, temperature field, concentration field, induced magnetic field, drag coefficient, and the coefficient of the rate of heat and mass transfer at the plate are obtained. The results are discussed in details through graphs and tables to observe the effect of various physical parameters involved in the problem. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
