ABSTRACT
An attempt is made to study the effect of heat and mass transfer of an unsteady rotating flow of an incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an uniformly accelerated infinite isothermal vertical plate embedded in a porous medium, in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, heat sink and chemical reaction. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace transform method. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number. The permeability of the porous medium accelerates the velocity whereas the heat absorbing coefficient decelerates the velocity of flow field at all points. Further, it is found that the chemical reaction parameter has a retarding effect on velocity and concentration profile.
