Abstract

The present work is devoted to study a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid on an MHD fluid flowing past a semi-infinite porous plate in the presence of chemical reaction and inclined magnetic parameter. The governing equations are expressed in non-dimensional form and the resulting nonlinear equations are solved employing the Homotopy perturbation method for the nondimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The effects of various controlling parameters such as Casson parameter, Hartmann number, inclined magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, Grashof number, angle of inclination, Prandtl number, Eckert number, radiation parameter, Schmidt number and thermal radiation parameters are presented graphically and discussed in detail. It was found that, velocity profile is enhanced in the presence of Casson, magnetic field and inclined angle parameters whereas it declined with positive increase in the porosity, Grashof and inclined angle numbers. Similarly, increase in Prandtl, Eckert, radiation and inclined angle numbers lead to increase in the temperature distribution of the fluid, while it deceased as the magnetic field parameter increased. The effect of increased thermal radiation parameter is proportional to the concentration profile, whereas it declines for increase in values of Schmidt number.
