  Temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conducting heat and mass transfer flow with chemical reaction and periodic magnetic field past an isothermal oscillating cylinder have been considered. The partial dimensionless equations governing the flow have been solved numerically by applying explicit finite difference method with the help Compaq visual 6.6a. The obtained outcome of this inquisition has been discussed for different values of well-known flow parameters with different time steps and oscillation angle.

Introduction</title><p>In recent, the study of unsteady free convective flows through an oscillating cylinder evinces a vital role in chemical engineering, turbo machinery, and aerospace technology. The occurrence of heat and mass transfer is too general in chemical process industries such as the production of polymer and food processing. The study of MHD incompressible viscous flows has several vital engineering applications in devices such as MHD power generators, electrical components transmission lines, cooling of nuclear reactors, geothermal systems, forming metal, crystal growing, aerodynamic processes, and heat exchange designs. The focus of a huge number of researchers has drowned by MHD due to its various applications such as pumps, bearings. Implicit finite-difference scheme of Crank-Nicolson type has been used to solve radiation and mass transfer effects on unsteady MHD free convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a moving vertical cylinder which has been analyzed by Reddy et al. (2009) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref1">1</xref>] . When the radiation parameter increases the velocity and temperature decrease in the boundary layer which has been founded by them. Unsteady natural convection of air with a variable viscosity over an isothermal vertical cylinder has been solved with the help of implicit finite-difference method by Rani et al. (2010) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref2">2</xref>] . The objective of the work was to investigate the viscosity effects on the free convective flow of the air along a semi-infinite vertical cylinder and by analyzing they found that velocity profiles near the wall decrease with the increasing kinematic viscosity variation parameter also noticed that the decrease in the viscosity-variation parameter leads to the increase in the average heat transfer rate and to the decrease in the average skin friction. Conduction-radiation effects on periodic MHD flow along a vertical surface have been analyzed by Siddiqa et al. (2012) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref3">3</xref>] . Radiation, chemical reaction, and magnetic parameters have been used by Machireddy (2013) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref4">4</xref>] to investigate chemically reactive species and radiation effects on MHD convective flow past a moving vertical cylinder. By using implicit finite difference method he founded that the transient velocity increases with an increase in thermal Grashof number or mass grashof number. With the increasing values of magnetic field, parameter decreases the transient velocity. Gauss-Seidel iteration method has been used by Babu et al. (2014) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref5">5</xref>] to investigate the effects of chemical reaction and radiation and by considering two concentric cylinders of different radius. They worked on the effects of chemical reaction and radiation absorption on mixed convective flow in a circular annulus at constant heat and mass flux.</p><p>Unlike other fluid, Cintaginjala et al. (2014) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref6">6</xref>] considered the Jeffrey’s fluid, By taking Jeffrey’s fluid Gauss-Seidel iteration method have been used to investigate the effects of chemical reaction and radiation absorption on mixed convective heat and mass transfer flow through a cylindrical annulus with heat generating sources and non- linear density temperature relation which have been done by Cintaginjala et al. (2014) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref6">6</xref>] and they also used two concentric cylinders to investigate the problem. An explicit finite numerical analysis has been carried out by taking temperature as a variable by Mondal et al. (2015) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref7">7</xref>] . By using magnetic parameter, permeability parameter, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and accelerated parameter they worked on free convection and mass transfer flow through a porous medium with variable temperature. Also, they assumed that there were no effects of temperature and concentration on the fluid. The velocity increases with the decreasing of the magnetic parameter and Schmidt number whereas the velocity profiles increase with increasing the Permeability parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and accelerated parameter in case of cooling of the plate which has been investigated by Mondal et al. (2015) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref7">7</xref>] . A numerical study on unsteady natural convection flow past an isothermal vertical cylinder with temperature dependent viscosity has been analyzed by Hossain et al. (2015) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref8">8</xref>] . They also worked on the effect of viscosity variation parameter on isotherms and streamlines. By taking binary fluid mixture a regular perturbation method has been used to solve MHD flow, heat and mass transfer due to auxiliary moving cylinder in the presence of thermal diffusion, radiation and chemical reactions by Sharma et al. (2015) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref9">9</xref>] . They used regular perturbation method to solve the above problem and with the increases in the value of magnetic field parameter decreases velocity which has been concluded by Sharma et al. (2015) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref9">9</xref>] . In a porous medium by using Darcy-Forchheimer model the main aim of that work was to investigate the effects of radiation, chemical reaction, thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo on MHD heat and mass transfer free convection flow near the lower stagnation point of an isothermal horizontal circular cylinder. In the presence of Soret and Dufour effects, hydro-magnetic flow of viscoelastic fluid over porous oscillatory stretching sheet with thermal radiation has been investigated by Ali et al. (2016) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref10">10</xref>] . An implicit finite-dif- ference method of Crank-Nicolson type have been employed to investigate the chemical reaction and temperature oscillation effect on unsteady MHD free convective flow over moving semi-infinite vertical cylinder by Rajesh et al. (2016) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref11">11</xref>] . They found that velocity increases with the increasing thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and decreases with the increasing values of the magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number. Recently, MHD flow and heat transfer of couple stress fluid over an oscillatory stretching sheet with heat source/sink in porous medium have been carried out by Ali et al. (2016) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref12">12</xref>] . Chemical reaction and radiative MHD heat and mass transfer flow with temperature dependent viscosity past an isothermal oscillating cylinder have been investigated by Ahmed et al. (2016) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref13">13</xref>] . Recently, magnetic field and thermal radiation effect on heat and mass transfer of air flow near a moving infinite plate with a constant heat sink has been investigated by Arifuzzaman et al. (2016) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref14">14</xref>] .</p><p>By considering temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conducting heat and mass transfer flow with chemical reaction and magnetic field past an isothermal oscillating cylinder have been studied. Unlike other researchers, we have used magnetic field periodically. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of chemical reaction, periodic magnetic field on velocity field, temperature field and concentration field, skin-friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and stream-lines with different time steps, oscillation angle and also compared with the absence of a non-periodic magnetic field. The partial dimensionless equations governing the flow are solved numerically by using explicit finite difference method with the help of Compaq visual 6.6a.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Mathematical Model</title><p>In the presence of periodic magnetic field unsteady two-dimensional free convective flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a semi-infinite oscillating cylinder of radius r<sub>0</sub> have been investigated. Here, the x-axis is taken along the axis of cylinder in the vertical direction and the radial coordinate r is considered as normal to the cylinder.

A uniform periodic magnetic field (B<sub>0</sub>) is imposed to the oscillating cylinder which is presented in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>. It is further assumed that there is no applied voltage, so that electric field is absent [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.71485-ref4">4</xref>] . It is also assumed that there exists a homogeneous first order chemical reaction between the fluid and species concentration. But here we assume the level of species concentration to be very low and hence heat generated during chemical reaction can be neglected. Hence, any convective mass transport to or from the surface due to a net viscous dissipation effects in the energy equation are assumed to be negligible. It is also assumed that all the fluid properties are constant except that of the influence of the density variation with temperature and concentration in the body force term. The foreign mass present in the flow is assumed to be at low level, and Soret and Dufour effects are negligible. By considering the above assumptions, the boundary layer equations governing flow past an oscillating cylinder with Boussinesq’s approximation can be expressed in the following form. Then, the flow under consideration is governed by the following system of equations:</p><disp-formula id="scirp.71485-formula1"><label>(1)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-4900431x6.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><fig id="fig1"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref></label><caption><title> Flow model and physical co-ordinate</title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-4900431x7.png"/></fig><disp-formula id="scirp.71485-formula2"><label>(2)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-4900431x8.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><disp-formula id="scirp.71485-formula3"><label>(3)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-4900431x9.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><disp-formula id="scirp.71485-formula4"><label>(4)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-4900431x10.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>With boundary conditions,</p><disp-formula id="scirp.71485-formula5"><label>(5)</label><graphic position="anchor" xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/1-4900431x11.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>It is necessary to make the Equations (1) to (4) with boundary conditions (5) dimensionless.

The velocity of the fluid is increasing with the increasing of time steps and low periodic magnetic field indicates more smooth curves than the higher magnetic field. Due to the increasing values of Prandtl number (Pr) and Scmidth number (Sc) increases the viscosity of the fluid and decrease the molecular diffusivity which decreases the velocity of fluid.

Due to the increasing values of Sc, Pr and K the concentration curves let on different curves for fixed values rest parameters as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>4. By analyzing <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>4, it is apparent that the curves are upward direction with the decreasing values of Sc, Pr and K. So, our presented problem indicates the destructive chemical reaction problem. Velocity gradient increases with the increases of Prandtl number (Pr) and Scmidth number (Sc). As a result, with the increasing values of Prandtl number (Pr) the values of skin-friction decreases which are exhibited in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>5. The percentages of the difference of skin- friction as the descending order of Prandtl number are 1.9769 and 2.68054. Skin friction increases for the increasing values of Scmidth number (Sc) while it decreases with an increase in magnetic parameter (M), through-out the transient period which has been indicated as in the <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>5. The real fact is that the magnetic Field results in damping effect on velocity of the fluid by creating drag force i.e. the increase values of magnetic parameter create a drug force known as Lorentz force that opposes the fluid motion which is indicated in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>6. Also the boundary layer thickness decreases with an increase of magnetic parameter.

Conclusions</title><p>An elaborated numerical analysis has been performed for the effects of the chemical reaction of the first order on the periodic MHD free convective flow for a gas past a moving semi-infinite oscillating cylinder with variable kinematic viscosity and thermal conductivity. The partial dimensionless equations governing the flow have been solved numerically by applying explicit finite difference method with the help Compaq visual 6.6a. The obtained outcome of this inquisition has been discussed for different values of well-known flow parameters with different time steps and oscillation angle. By analyzing the problem, the concluding remarks have been carried out as follows:</p><p>・ The velocity decreases with an increase of Scmidth number (Sc), Prandtl number (Pr) and periodic magnetic field (M) also higher magnetic field indicate more non- smooth curves than the lower periodic magnetic field (M). i.e. the wavy curves occurs only when we impose the magnetic field (M) periodically.</p><p>・ Higher oscillation angle (ϕ) indicates the lower point on the wall than lower oscillation angle (ϕ) at which the initial velocity starts.</p><p>・ With the decreasing of chemical reaction parameter (K), viscosity variation parameter (γ), result to increasing the velocity profiles while velocity increases with the increases of thermal conductivity (ε).</p><p>・ For the decreasing values of Scmidth number (Sc) and Prandtl number (Pr), the temperature increases while temperature increases for increasing values of thermal conductivity (ε).</p><p>・ The concentration increases with the decreasing values of Scmidth number (Sc), Prandtl number (Pr) and chemical reaction parameter (K).</p><p>・ Nusselt number increases for the increasing values of Prandtl number (Pr), Scmidth number (Sc) and skin-friction decreases for the increasing values of the periodic magnetic field (M), Prandtl number (Pr).</p><p>・ Sherwood number increases with the increasing values of Scmidth number (Sc).</p><p>・ With the increases of viscosity variation parameter (γ) and thermal conductivity (ε) increases the values of stream-lines also lower periodic magnetic field (M) indicates the more smooth streamlines than the higher periodic magnetic field (M).</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>We acknowledge the ministry of National Science and Technology (NST), Dhaka, Bangladesh and thank for providing financial support for this research work as a fellowship in 2015-2016.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Ahmed, R., Uddin, R., Jewel Rana, B.M., Selim, R. and Ahmmed, S.F.
