Mass and heat transfer effect on MHD flow of a visco-elastic fluid through porous medium with oscillatory suction and heat source

The present study considers the effect of heat and mass transfer on free convective flow of a visco-elastic incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a vertical porous plate through a porous medium with time dependent oscillatory permeability and suction in presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field and heat source. The novelty of the present study is to analyze the effect of time dependant fluctuative suction and permeability of the medium on a visco-elastic fluid flow. The necessity of the present analysis arises as the most industrial fluids exhibit the visco-elastic behavior. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equation are turned to ordinary by super imposing a solution with steady and time dependant transient part. Finally, the set of ordinary differential equations is solved with a perturbation scheme to meet the inadequacy of boundary condition. Elasticity of the fluid and the Lorentz force reduce the velocity and it is more pronounced in case of heavier species. Most interesting observation is the fluctuation of velocity appears near the plate due to the presence of sink and presence of elastic element as well as heat source reduce the skin friction.
