Abstract
We consider the heat and mass transfer on MHD flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium between two vertical porous plates under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field normal to the plates. The flow through porous medium is governed by Brinkman’s model for the momentum equation. The solutions of the governing equations are obtained for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles with the help of regular perturbation technique. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration are discussed with the graphs. The skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also obtained.
