Introduction
The phenomena of MHD flow with unsteady oscillatory free convective flows play an important role in aerospace technology and in chemical engineering turbo-machinery.Such flow arise either due to unsteady motion of boundary or due to oscillatory free system velocity.Several authors have studied the free convection and mass transfer flow of a viscous fluid through porous medium.They considered that, the permeability of the porous medium is assumed to be constant, while the porosity of the medium may be not necessary constant because the porous material containing the fluid is non-homogenous medium.Then, the permeability of the porous medium may be not necessary constant.The effect of mass transfer on free convective hydromagnetic oscillatory flow past an infinite vertical unsteady flow of non-Newtonian fluid has been estimated by Koullias et al. [1].Ashgar et al. [2] have reported the periodic unsteady flows of non-Newtonian fluid.The flow of non-Newtonian fluid induced due to the oscillations of a porous plate has studied by Hayat et al. [3].Singh and Gupta [4] have investigated the MHD free convective flow of a viscous fluid through a porous medium bounded by an oscillating porous plate in the slip flow regime with mass transfer.Das et al. [5] analyzed the mass transfer effects on unsteady flow past an accelerated vertical porous plate with suction employing numerical methods.Raptis [6] analyzed the unsteady free convection flow through a porous medium.Hossain and Begum [7] discussed the effect of mass transfer and free convection on the flow past a vertical plate.Unsteady hydromagnetic convective flow past an infinite vertical porous flat plate in a porous medium has been discussed by Das and his coworkers [8].The objective of the present study is to analyzed the effects of permeability variation and oscillatory suction velocity in free convective and mass transfer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate through a porous medium when the plate is subjected to a time dependent suction velocity normal to the plate in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field.The solutions for velocity field and concentration distribution are obtained by perturbation technique analytically.The effects of the flow parameters on the velocity field and concentration distribution are presented with the aid of figures.Also, the skin friction and the rate of mass transfer are calculated with the aid of tables.

Mathematical Analysis
The unsteady free convective flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate through a porous medium with time dependant permeability and oscillatory suction in presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered.The y-axis is taken along the infinite vertical porous plate and x-axis is perpendicular to it and the velocity in this direction is u.In view of these, the analysis of the problem is based on the following assumptions:  All the fluid properties are constant;  The plate as well as the fluid is assumed to be at the same temperature and the concentration of the species is raised or lowered;  The magnetic Reynolds number is small so that the induced magnetic field can be neglected in comparison to the applied magnetic field;  The permeability of the porous medium is assumed to be ; The suction velocity is assumed to be .
With foregoing assumptions and taking the usual Boussinesq's approximation into account as well as following non-dimensional quantities: .
Therefore, the non-dimensional form of the governing equations for momentum and concentration are: where Subjected to the following boundary conditions:

Solutions of the Problem
In order to solve the problem, we assume the solutions of the following form because the amplitude   1  = of the permeability variation is very small: Substitute Equations ( 5) and (6) into Equations ( 2) and (3) and equate the harmonic and non-harmonic terms to obtain the following non-dimensional ordinary differential equations: where Furthermore, the boundary conditions are reduced to By solving Equations ( 7)-( 10) under boundary conditions (11), we obtain

Furthermore, the effects of the flow parameters on skin friction and the rate of mass transfer have been reported with the help of Tables 1-7.
The effect of magnetic field parameter M on the velocity profiles of the flow field keeping other parameters of the flow field constant is showed in Figure 1.The magnetic field parameter is taken in increasing order and it is found to slow down the velocity of the flow field to a considerable amount due to the magnetic pull of the Lorentz force acting on the flow field.This parameter shows overturn effect.
The Sherwood number (the mass transfer coefficient) at the plate terms of amplitude and phase is given by where The effect of Schmidt number S c on the velocity profiles of the flow field keeping other parameters of the flow field constant is showed in Figure 2. The Schmidt number is taken in increasing order and it is reveal that the presence of heavier diffusion species has a delaying effect on velocity of the flow field.This parameter shows reverse effect.The constants 1 6 m m  N N  , r , i , , , and are defined in appendix section.
