Effects of chemical reactions on MHD micropolar fluid flow past a vertical plate in slip-flow regime

Heat and mass transfer effects on the unsteady flow of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium bounded by a semi-infinite vertical plate in a slip-flow regime are studied taking into account a homogeneous chemical reaction of the first order.A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the porous surface absorb micropolar fluid with a suction velocity varying with time.The free stream velocity follows an exponentially increasing or decreasing small perturbation law.Using the approximate method,the expressions for the velocity microrotation,temperature,and concentration are obtained.Futher,the results of the skin friction coefficient,the couple stress coefficient,and the rate of heat and mass transfer at the wall are presented with various values of fluid properties and flow conditions.
