1. INTRODUCTION
Original Article
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

two vertical parallel plates. The subject of porous media and its applications have reviewed by Nield and Bejan [10], Bejan
[2], Kaviany [7], Ingham and Pop [6], Vafai [16]. Grosan [11] has studied the effect of thermal radiation on the fully
developed mixed convective flow in a vertical channel. Rapt is [13] has studied the effect of radiation on free convection
flow through a porous medium. The MHD fully developed mixed convection flow over an infinite vertical plate in the
presence of thermal radiation has been studied by Perdik is and Rapt is [12]. Rapt is and Perdik is [14] have studied the
radiation effects on unsteady flow through a highly porous medium. Sharma et al. [15] have done investigation on
temperature distribution with radiation effects in three-dimensional Couette flow suction and injection. Weidman and
Medina [17] have studied the convective flow between vertical walls embedded in porous medium. The effects of radiation
on free convection flow between two vertical walls have been described by Mandal et al. [18]. The effects of radiation on
MHD free convective Couette flow in a rotating system have been discussed by Sarkar et al. [19].
In this paper, we analysed the heat and mass transfer effects on visco-elastic free convective fluid through porous
channel with heat source and thermal radiation in the presence of magnetic field. Slip condition is also considered between
the fluid and the wall. The dimensionless non linear equations are solved by using Laplace transform technique for
different fields and results are discussed through graphs.

u ( y , t ) , temperature ( y , t ) and concentration C ( y , t ) for different values of the parameters present in solution
expression.
In Figure 1, we have plotted the velocity u ( y , t ) against y for different values of Thermal Grashof number Gr,
Solutal Grashof number Gc, Schmidt number Sc, magnetic parameter M and heat source parameter b. It is observed that
the velocity increases near to wall, reaches a maximum and decreases (in the way of projectile motion) as increasing y. It is
noted that motion of the fluid increases with the increase of Gr and Gc due to enhancement in thermal and mass buoyancy
effect. Figure 1 shows that velocity profile decreases as increasing Schimidt number. The reason is that concentration
buoyancy effect is responsible to decrease in the fluid velocity. The fluid velocity also decays as increasing magnetic
parameter this is because of the reason that effects of a transverse magnetic field on an electrically conducting fluid
produces a resistive type force (called Lorentz force) which opposes the motion of the fluid.

In Figures 1 & 3, velocity and temperature profile increase with the increase of heat source parameter
respectively, which shows that the heat source parameter causes to make strong the slippery behavior of fluid at the wall.
The internal heat of the fluid enhances with the increase of heat source parameter. This results the rate of heat transport to
the fluid increases which enhances the temperature profile and also increases its velocity.
Figure 2 shows the effect of the radiation parameter N, slip parameter and porosity parameter K on velocity
profile against y. It is concluded that an increase in slip parameter at the wall causes the velocity increases at the wall.
The behavior of the fluid in the presence of porosity is also depicted that an increase in the velocity with increasing K as
shown in Figure 2.
In both Figure 2 & 3, velocity and temperature profile increase with the increase of radiation parameter N
respectively. The effect of radiation is to increase the rate of energy transport to the gas, thereby making the thermal
boundary layer become thicker and fluid become warmer, this enhances the effect of thermal buoyancy of the driving body
force due to mass density variation which are coupled to the temperature and there for, increasing the motion of the fluid .
It is concluded from Figure 3 that the temperature decreases with the increase of Peclet number Pe. It is
interesting to note that the flow of heat is reversed with the increase of the Peclet number Pe.

The variation of velocity profile with the elastic parameter Rc, Peclet number Pe and Reynolds number Re are
shown in figure 4. The elastic parameter Rc decreases the thickness of velocity boundary layer which results the flow
velocity increases with increasing Rc. It is also clear that an increase in Peclet number results a decrease in velocity profile,
which shows that the Peclet number causes to weaken the fluid slip at the wall. From figure 4, I concluded that an increase
in Reynold number results a decrease in velocity profile.

Form Figure 5, we observed that the fluid velocity oscillates in various intervals of time and also concluded that
efficiency of slip at the wall is influenced by the various parameter including in the equations.
A comparison of curves in the figure 6 depicts a decrease in concentration with an increase of Schmidt number Sc.
Physically; it is true since the increase of Sc casuses decay in molecular diffusivity that gives An decrease in thickness of
concentration boundary layer. Hence, the concentration of fluid is more for lower values and less for higher values of Sc.
In table 1, we present the values of skin friction for various values of different parameters such as M, N, Re, Pe,
Gc, Gr, K, b, , where as it decreases with increasing of M and Rc. This is due to the fact that, elastic property in viscoelastic fluid reduces the frictional drag. Thus the elastic property of the fluid may have great significance in polymer
product industry as the choice of higher order visco-elastic fluid would reduce the power consumption for stretching the
boundary sheet.

From Table 2, it is seen that an increase in Pe leads to an increase in Nusselt number. This shows that the rate of
heat transfer increases significantly due to dominating the viscosity of a fluid over conductivity, whereas, Nusselt number
decreases with increasing N and b.

2. With the increase in N and b, the temperature profile increases due to enhancement in internal heat of the fluid
whereas the temperature profile decreases with increasing Peclet number.
3. The effects of different parameters are also observed on the skin-friction, the Nusselt number and Sherwood number
through tables.
