  Radiation absorption and chemical reaction effects on unsteady MHD free convective flow of a viscoelastic fluid past a vertical porous plate in the presence of variable suction and heat source is considered. A uniform magnetic field is assumed to be applied in the transverse direction of the flow. The set of non-linear partial differential equations is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by super imposing a solution with steady and unsteady part. The set of ordinary differential equations is solved by using regular perturbation scheme. The expressions for velocity, temperature and species concentration fields are obtained and the expressions for Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also derived. The effects of numerous physical parameters on the above flow quantities are studied with the help of graphs and tables.

Formulation of the Problem</title><p>The unsteady free convection, viscous incompressible electrically conducting flow of a radiation absorption, chemically reacting and visco-elastic (Walters B<sup>*</sup>) fluid past asemi-infinite vertical porous plate in a porous medium with variable suction as well as permeability in presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. Let x<sup>*</sup>-axis be along the plate in the direction of the fluid flow and y<sup>*</sup>-axis perpendicular to it. It is assumed that, magnetic Reynolds number is much less than unity so that the induced magnetic field is neglected in comparison with the applied transverse magnetic field. The basic flow in the medium is therefore, entirely due to the buoyancy force caused by the temperature difference between the wall and the medium. This assumed that initially, at t<sup>* </sup>≤ 0,the plate as well as fluids are at the same temperature and concentration. As the concentration of the species is very low so that the Soret and Dofour effects are neglected. When t<sup>*</sup> &gt; 0, the temperature of the plate is instantaneously raised to<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x6.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> and the concentration of the species is set to <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x7.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>).</p><p>It is considered that the permeability of the porous medium in the following form</p><disp-formula id="scirp.63615-formula1079"><label>(1)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x8.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>where <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x9.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> is K<sup>*</sup><sub>p</sub> is porosity, ω<sup>*</sup> is frequency of oscillation, t<sup>*</sup> is time, ε is a small positive constant.</p><p>The suction velocity is assumed to be time varying and it takes the following form</p><disp-formula id="scirp.63615-formula1080"><label>(2)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x10.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>Here <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x11.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/2-1720479x12.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> are positive constants.
