Effect of radiation absorption and chemical reaction on MHD-free convective flow through a porous medium past an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of constant heat flux

An incompressible, electrically conducting, and viscous fluid flowing steadily and freely across a uniformly porous media that is partially constrained by an infinitely long vertical porous plate is studied in the present article. Additionally, chemical reaction and radiation absorption effects are seen. Here, a magnetic field of uniform strength is applied transversely to the plate, a normal suction velocity is imposed on the fluid, and the heat flux is considered to be constant. The non-dimensional momentum and energy equations are solved using the method of perturbation. The problem has been analytically resolved, and several parameters, including the Hartmann number, porosity parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, and transport properties like the Sherwood number, skin friction, and plate temperature, are graphically represented. The current study reveals a spike in the radiation absorption effect causes skin friction to drop, but on the other hand, a contrary effect is observed for plate temperature. One of the notable findings of this investigation is that the Sherwood number increases as chemical reaction parameter influence increases.
