    I. INTRODUCTION The MHD boundary layer theory has a powerful place in the development of the magnetohydrodynamics. It has many applications in engineering problems such as geophysics, astrophysics, boundary layer control in the field of aerodynamics. So that the study of mixed convection flow and heat transfer for electrically conducting fluids over a surface has attracted much interest of researchers. Pioneer work is done by Ostrach [1] on convection flow and obtained a similarity solution of transient free convection flow over a semi infinite vertical plate using the integral method. Yih [2] presented the free convection effect on MHD combined heat and mass transfer of a moving permeable vertical surface. Non similar analytic solution for MHD flow and heat transfer in a third-order fluid past a stretching sheet was examined by Sajid et al. [3]. More recently the problem of magnetohydrodynamic flow over infinite surfaces has become more important due its applications in areas like nuclear fusion, chemical engineering, medicine, and high-speed, noiseless printing. MHD flow in the vicinity of infinite plate has

    been investigated intensively by many investigators [4-9]. Investigation (theoretical and experimental) of natural convection flow under the influence of gravitational force over a solid body with different geometries embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium is of considerable importance due to frequent occurrence of such fluid flow in nature as well as in science and technology viz. geothermal reservoirs, drying of porous solids, thermal insulators, heat exchanger devices, enhanced recovery of petroleum resources, underground energy transport etc. Nakayama and Koyama [10] carried out an analysis to study the free and forced convection flow in Darcian and non- Darcian porous medium.

    important and very little is known about the effects of radiation on the boundary layer of a radiative-MHD fluid past a body. Viskanta and Grosh [17] were one of the initial investigators to study the effects of thermal radiation on temperature distribution and heat transfer in an absorbing and emitting media flowing over a wedge. To simplify the energy equation they used Rosseland approximation for the radiative flux vector. The radiative effects on heat transfer in nonporous and porous medium utilizing the Rosseland or other radiative flux model was investigated by number of researchers such as Raptis [18], Hall et al. [19], Bakier [20], Raptis and Perdikis [21] and Rao [22] etc. Recently Mishra et al. [23] done their work on the effect of radiation on free convection heat and mass transfer flow through porous medium in a vertical channel with heat absorption/ generation. Heat and mass transfer problems with chemical reactions are of importance in many processes, and therefore have received a considerable attention in recent years. In many chemical engineering processes, a chemical reaction between a foreign mass and the fluid does occur. These processes take place in numerous industrial applications, such as the polymer production, the manufacturing of ceramics or glassware, food processing. . Sharma and Nabajyoti Dutta[24] analyzed the effect of chemical reaction and thermal radiation effects on MHD boundary layer flow past a moving vertical porous plate. magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of heat and mass transfer over a moving vertical plate with suction and chemical reaction is investigated by Ibrahim, and Makinde[25].

    However, the interaction of chemical reaction and thermal radiation with MHD boundary layer flow of heat and mass transfer in porous medium in the presence of viscous dissipation received little attention. Hence, the object of the present paper is to study the combined effect of thermal radiation and a first-order chemical reaction on heat and mass transfer effects on MHD boundary layer flow past an inclined plate with viscous dissipation in porous medium in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The dimensionless governing equations of the flow, heat and mass transfer are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with shooting technique. Numerical results are reported in figures for various values of the physical parameters of interest.

    II. MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS

    A steady two dimensional hydromagnetic

    convective flow of a viscous, incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an inclined plate with an acute angle to the vertical is considered in porous medium. x-axis is taken along the leading edge of the inclined plate and y -axis normal to it, i.e., the plate starts at x = 0 and extends parallel to the x axis and is of semi infinite length. A magnetic field of uniform strength is introduced normal to the direction of the flow. The uniform plate temperature and concentration are maintained at wT and wC . The plate temperature is

    higher than the temperature of the fluid far away from the plate and concentration at the surface of the plate is greater than the free stream concentration. A steady flow parallel to the plate with free stream velocity is assumed. The convective flow starts under the simultaneous action of the buoyancy forces used by the variations in density due to temperature and species concentration differences. The magnetic Reynold number is assumed to be small, so that the induced magnetic field is neglected. The Hall effects term is neglected. The effects of viscous dissipation, radiation and chemical reaction have been taken into the account. Then, under the Boussinesq and the usual boundary layer approximations, the governing equations for the Darcy type flow, following Schlichting [16] and Nield and Bejan[17], are given by

    III. SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM

    The governing boundary layer equations (10) to (12) subject to the boundary conditions (13) are solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with shooting technique. First of all higher order non-linear differential equations (10) to (12) are converted into simultaneous linear differential equations of first order and they are further transformed into initial value problem by applying the shooting technique(Jain

    et al. [27]). The resultant initial value problem is solved by employing Runge-kutta fourth order technique. Numerical results are reported in Figures 2 - 34 for various values of the physical parameters of interest. From the process of numerical computation , the skin-friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and Sherwood number which are respectively proportional to ( )0f ′′ ,

    ( )0θ ′− and ( )0φ′− are also sorted out and numerical values are presented in a tabular form .

    IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

    The governing equations (10)-(12) subject to the boundary conditions are solved as described in section 3. As a result of the numerical calculations, the dimensionless velocity , temperature and concentration are obtained and their behaviour have been discussed for variations in governing parameters. The results are presented in Figures from 2 – 34. Numerical results for the skin – friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are reported in Table 1 and Table 2. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show the effects of thermal Grashof number Gr and solutal Grashof number Gc on the velocity respectively. As shown the velocity increases as Gr and Gc increases. Physically the thermal Grashof number G r > 0 means heating of the fluid or cooling of the boundary surface and for cooling of the fluid or heating of the boundary surface Gr < 0 and the absence of free convection current corresponds to Gr = 0. The effect of magnetic parameter on velocity of the fluid is illustrated in Fig. 4. A decrease in the velocity is noticed on increasing the magnetic field parameter M, due to the fact that magnetic field exhorts a retarding force on free convective flow which retards the flow. i.e., the velocity boundary layer becomes thinner and thinner on increasing M. Fig. 5 represents the effect of porocity parameter δ on the velocity. An increase in the velocity of the fluid is observed. The variation of the velocity on increasing the inclination parameter γ is depicted in Fig. 6. It is noticed that the velocity of the fluid is decreasing. Fig. 7 demonstrates the effect of dissipation parameter due to porous medium on the velocity with an increasing N, we find that there is a decrease in the velocity. Fig. 8 shows the effect of radiation parameter on the velocity. On increasing the radiation parameter, there is an increase in the velocity. Velocity boundary layer was not effected by the Prandtl number as reported in the Fig. 9. The effects of Eckert number on velocity of the fluid in the boundary layer is represented in the Fig. 10. No change in the velocity is found for small values (0.01, 0.001) of Eckert number Ec which are of practical interest, by taking the values greater than 1 increase in the velocity is observed. A slight change in the velocity is observed on increasing the Schmidt number as shown in Fig. 11. The effects of chemical reaction parameter on momentum boundary layer is presented in the Fig. 12. It is found that the velocity slightly decreases on increasing the chemical reaction parameter.

    The effects of thermal and solutal Grashof numbers Gr and Gc are illustrated in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14. A decrease in temperature of the fluid is found on increasing Gr and Gc. The effect of magnetic field parameter M on dimensionless temperature is depicted in Fig. 15. As we increasing the values of M decrease in the temperature is noticed. For different values of the porosity parameter δ the temperature profile is plotted in Fig. 16. It is observed that the thermal boundary layer thickness decreases as porosity parameter increases. Fig. 17 illustrates the effect of inclination parameter γ on temperature . A slight change in the temperature is seen on increasing γ . Fig. 18 displays the effect of dissipation parameter N on temperature of the fluid. Greater viscous dissipative heat causes rise in the temperature. The reason behind this is a rise in the value of viscous dissipation helps to improve the thermal conductivity of the fluid. The influence of radiation parameter R on temperature is shown in Fig. 19. It is noticed that temperature increases on increasing R due to increase in the radiation parameter provides more heat to the fluid that causes an enhancement in the temperature. The effect of Prandtl number on temperature of the fluid is presented in Fig. 20. It is clear that the dimensionless temperature decreases with an increase in Prandtl number Pr. The Prandtl number is inversely proportional to the thermal diffusivity of the fluid and due to this thermal boundary layer reduces. so, temperature gradient vanishes quicker for higher values of Pr . Fig. 21 displays the the effect of Eckert number on temperature of the fluid and it is noticed that temperature increases on increasing the Eckert number Ec . Fig. 22 shows the effect of Schmidt number Sc on the the thermal boundary layer thickness, a slight change in temperature on increasing Sc is noticed. Fig. 23 depicts the influence of chemical reaction parameter Kr on temperature of the fluid . It is found that temperature of the fluid is slightly rised on increasing Kr. Fig. 24 and Fig. 25 represent the effects of thermal and mass Grashof numbers Gr and Gc on concentration respectively. It is noticed that concentration decreases on increasing Gr and Gc. The effect of magnetic parameter M on concentration of the fluid is illustrated in Fig. 26. Decrease in concentration boundary layer thickness is observed on increasing the magnetic parameter. For different values of porosity parameter δ graphs for the concentration of the fluid are plotted in Fig. 27. A slight change in the thickness of the concentration boundary layer is found from the figure on increasing porosity parameter. Fig. 28 demonstrates the effect of inclination parameter γ on the concentration field. slight increase in the concentration is observed on increasing γ . The effects of dissipation parameter on the concentration boundary layer is reported in Fig. 29. Rising the dissipation heat causes reducing the thickness of the concentration boundary layer. Fig. 30 displays the effect of radiation parameter R on the concentration of the fluid. A Decrease in thickness of the concentration boundary layer is noticed on increasing R . Fig. 31 shows that Prandtl number Pr does not effect the thickness of the concentration boundary layer. The effect

    of Eckert number on the concentration of the fluid is presented in the Fig. 32. A Decrease in the concentration is found on increasing the Eckert numbered. Fig. 33 demonstrates the effect of Schmidt number Sc on concentration and it is seen that concentration decreases on increasing the Schmidt number. Effect of the chemical reaction parameter on the concentration is reported in the Fig. 34. The concentration boundary layer becomes thinner on increasing the chemical reaction parameter Kr. This is due to the fact that the chemical reaction in this system results in consumption of the chemical and hence results in decrease of concentration.

    V. CONCLUSIONS

    From the present study we arrive at the following significant observations. By comparing the present results with that of Sing h et al. [ 26], it is found that there is a good agreement.
