Abstract
This research presents the study of thermophysical effects of heat and mass transfer in
unsteady Magnetohydrodynamics viscoelastic fluid flow in inclined porous media. The
modelled results in form of nonlinear and coupled form of partial differential equations were
transformed into Ordinary Differential Equations and were solved by using embedded fourthorder
Runge-Kutta integration scheme with Newton-Raphson shooting method. Numerical
computations were carried out for the non-dimensional to study the effect of different physical
parameters. Physical parameters such as viscos-elasticity, permeability of the porous media,
magnetic field, Grashof number, Schmidt number, heat source parameter and chemical
reaction parameter on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics were discussed.
