  • A numerical solution of unsteady heat mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical porous plate with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity is presented, taking into consideration the effects of chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The dimensionless governing equations which are coupled and nonlinear were solved numerically using the implicit finite difference scheme. Graphical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles based on the numerical solutions are presented and discussed. Effects of various parameters on the skin friction, rate of heat and mass transfer were also discussed from the tabular results. Figure 3 pointed that, the velocity increase whenever porosity parameter increases. Similarly, Figure 4 shows that, the velocity increase with increasing thermal Grashof number just like Figure 5 which reveals that, the velocity increase when the mass Grashof number increased. In Figure 7, it is observed that, the concentration decrease with an increase in the Schmidt number and likewise Figure 8 shows that, the concentration decrease with an increase in the suction parameter. Figure 10 shows that, the temperature decreases with an increase in the Prandtl number. Also, Figure 11 indicates that the temperature decrease with an increase of the radiation parameter.
