College, Bhodia Khera, Fatehabad, India ABSTRACT This paper investigates a theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer influences on visco-elastic hydro-magnetic fluid through porous channel with heat source and thermal radiation. Further, slip condition is also considered between the fluid and the wall. The resulting non-dimensional zed governing equations are solved analytically for velocity, temperature and concentration field. The effect of different parameters on various fields such as velocity, temperature and concentration field are shown with graphs. Also the effect of different parameters on skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in tables.

INTRODUCTION The radioactive convective flows have important aspect in many branches of engineering and physics. The effects of radiative heat transfer on various free convective flows have vital role in space technology and high temperature processes. This may play an eminent role in managing heat transfer in industry where the value of the last product depends on the heat controlling factors. Heat transfer phenomenon in porous media is of considerable interest due to its ever increasing industrial applications and important bearings on several technological processes. Processes involving heat and mass transfer in porous media are frequently encountered in the chemical industry, in reservoir engineering in connection with thermal recovery process etc. A study of convection through porous medium can give good advantage in several areas like insulation design, grain storage, geothermal systems, heat exchangers, filtering devices, metal processing, catalytic reactors etc. In recent years, in high-temperature applications, a great deal of attention has been focused on the usage of porous media. Porous media have been utilized for enhancement of heat transfer in coolant passages and in thermal insulation systems. Jha et al. [1] studied the transient natural convection flow in a vertical channel due to symmetric heating. Natural convection flow between vertical parallel plates one plate with a uniform heat flux and the other thermally insulated has been investigated by Tanaka et al. [3]. Gupta and Gupta [4] have observed the effect of radiation on hydro-magnetic convection through a vertical channel. Singh and Paul [5] have studied the unsteady natural convective between two vertical walls heated/cooled asymmetrically. The radiative effects on magneto-hydro vertical channel flow were concluded by Sanyal and Adhikari [8]. Singh et al. [9] have discussed the transient free convective flow between Original Article International Journal of Mathematics and Computer Applications Research (IJMCAR) ISSN(P): 2249-6955; ISSN(E): 2249-8060 Vol. 6, Issue 4, Aug 2016, 21-32 TJPRC Pvt.
