1. Introduction

The boundary layer problems are given more consideration nowadays, this may not be unconnected with roles it plays in the areas of technology, engineering and industrial applications. Radiation effects on heat and mass transfer are of greater importance in many processes and have, therefore, received a considerable amount of attention in recent time, for example nuclear reactor, solid matrix heat exchanger, thermal insulation, surface catalysis of chemical contaminants in various processes, storage of nuclear waste materials, grain storage and drying and many others [1] . It is applied in engineering fields and physiology such as transpiration, cooling gaseous diffusion and blood flow in arteries. The flow through the porous media occurs on the ground water hydrology. Irrigation and drainage problems are critical areas of greater concern, henceforth, scientific treatment of the problems of irrigation, soil erosion and tile drainage are some of the recent developments of porous media.

Several researches indicated significant effects of slip condition on many problems of physical interest, among which are boundary layer flow control, plasma studies, geothermal energy extraction, metallurgy, chemical, mineral and petroleum engineering to mention but few.

[2] investigated the effects of slip conditions on unsteady MHD oscillatory flow of a viscous fluid in a planar channel. MHD flow and heat transfer over permeable stretching sheet with slip conditions were studied by [3] . [4] discussed thermally stratified stagnation point flow of Casson fluid with slip conditions. [5] analysed the radiation and mass transfer effects on MHD free convectional flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with variable temperature. Hall effects on heat and mass transfer in the flow of oscillating viscoelastic fluid through porous medium with slip condition, were examined by [6] . The investigation revealed that the slip parameter enhances the primary velocity and transverse component of the friction and reduces secondary velocity and the axial components of the skin friction of the plate. [7] studied effects of variable suction on transient free convective viscous incompressible flow past a vertical plate with periodic temperature variations in slip regime. [8] illustrated the effects of slip condition and hall current on unsteady MHD flow of a visco-elastic fluid past an infinite porous vertical plate through porous medium. This research indicates that primary velocity initially increases and thereafter decreases for no slip condition in comparison with flow in slip regime. Moreover, secondary velocity decreases for no slip condition in comparison with slip regime flow. [9] examined MHD slip flow on Newtonian fluid past a stretching sheet with thermal convective boundary condition, radiation and chemical reaction. Effects of slip condition and Newtonian heating on MHD flow Casson fluid over a non-linearly stretching sheet saturated in a porous medium, was analysed by [10] . [11] studied Effects of MHD and slip on heat transfer boundary layer flow over a moving plate based on specific entropy generation. [12] demonstrated the Influences of slip velocity and induced magnetic field on MHD stagnation point flow over a stretching sheet. Finite Element simulation of multiple slip effects on MHD unsteady Maxwell Nona fluid flow over a permeable stretching sheet with radiation and thermos diffusion in the presence of chemical reaction was detailed by [13] . [14] examined multiple slip effects on MHD unsteady flow heat and mass transfer impinging on permeable stretching sheet with radiation. [15] studied unsteady two-dimensional hydro magnetic flow and heat transfer of fluid. Effects of the chemical reaction and radiation absorption on an unsteady MHD convective heat and mass transfer flow past a semi-infinite vertical permeable moving plate embedded in a porous medium with heat source and suction, was described by [16] . Effects of Nervier slip on a steady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid confined within spirally enhanced channel was analysed by [17] . Mass transfer effects on MHD unsteady free convective Walter’s memory flow with constant suction and heat sink, studied by [18] . [19] highlighted the effects of chemical reaction and radiation on heat and mass transfer past semi-infinite vertical porous plate with constant mass flux and dissipations. [20] studied MHD boundary layer flow in double stratification medium. [10] illustrated effects of slip conditions and Newtonian heating on MHD flow of casson fluid over a non-linearly stretching sheet saturated in a porous medium. Hall current effects on unsteady MHD fluid flow with radiative heat flux and heat source over a porous medium was demonstrated by [21] . Effects of slip condition on MHD flow and heat transfer through a permeable non-linearly stretching sheet in a porous medium using the Homotopy analysis method was highlighted by [22] .

In the above-mentioned literature none of the researchers studied the slip condition effects on an electrically conducting incompressible fluid past a continuously moving plate in the presence of radiative heat flux heat source, mass flux and viscoelasticity through a porous medium.

2. Problem Formulation

We consider the unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid with oscillating temperature. The flow occurs over an infinite vertical porous plate. The x* axis is assumed to be oriented vertically upward along the plate and y* axis taken normal to the plane of the plate. It is assumed that the plate is electrically none conducting and a uniform magnetic field of strength B0 is applied normal to the plate. The induced magnetic field is assumed to be negligible so that B ( 0 , B 0 , 0 ) . The plate is subjected to a constant suction velocity V0.

Since the plate is infinite in extend all physical quantities are functions of y* and t* only. Thus the governing equations of the flow under the usual Boussinesq approximation are:

Continuity Equation;

v y = 0 (1)

The Momentum Equations:

u t υ 0 u y = υ 2 u y 2 υ u K l g β ( T T ) + g β * ( C C ) σ β 0 2 ρ ( 1 + m 2 ) ( u + m w ) K 0 { 3 w t y 2 υ 0 3 w y 3 } (2)

w t υ 0 w y = υ 2 u y 2 υ w K l + σ β 0 2 ρ ( 1 + m 2 ) ( m u w ) K 0 { 3 w t y 2 υ 0 3 w y 3 } (3)

Energy Equation;

T t υ 0 T y = k ρ c p 2 T y 2 Q 0 ρ c p ( T T ) 1 ρ c p q r y (4)

Concentration Equation:

C t υ 0 C y = D 2 C y 2 K c ( C C ) (5)

The initial boundary conditions are:

u = L * ( u y ) , w = L * ( w y ) , θ = 1 + ε e i Ω t , C = 1 + ε e Ω t i , y = 0 (6)

u 0 , w 0 , T T , C C , y

Introducing the following dimensionless quantities and parameters

η = υ 0 y υ , u = U u 0 , u 1 = U e u 1 , w 0 = U w 0 , w 1 = U e w 1 ,

h = υ 0 υ L , θ = T T T ω T C = C C C ω C , M = σ β 0 2 υ ρ υ 0 2 ,

G r = υ β ( T ω T ) U υ 0 2 , G c = υ β * υ ( C ω C ) U υ 0 2 , K m = K 0 υ 0 2 υ 2 (7)

S c = υ D , P r = μ C p k , K = K l υ υ 0 2

where, β volumetric coefficient of the thermal expansion, v the kinematic viscosity, ρ is density, μ the coefficient of viscosity, β * is volumetric coefficient of expansion with concentration, u 0 the velocity of the plate, y the coordinate axis normal to the plate, g acceleration due to gravity, q r the radiation heat flux in the y direction, Cp is specific heat at constant pressure, C' is specific concentration in the fluid, C the concentration in the fluid far away from the plate, C W the concentration on the plate, D the mass diffusion coefficient, t' is time, h is the slip parameter T the temperature of the fluid near the plate, L* is the characteristic length of the plate T W the temperature of the plate, T the temperature of the fluid far away from the plate. M the Hartmann number, Km viscoelastic parameter, Ω , is the frequency of oscillation.

The following are assumed solutions

U ( η , t ) = U 0 ( η ) + U 1 ( η ) ε e Ω i t (8)

w ( η , t ) = w 0 ( η ) + w 1 ε e Ω i t

θ ( η , t ) = θ 0 ( η ) + θ 1 ( η ) ε e Ω i t

C ( η , t ) = C 0 ( η ) + C 1 ( η ) ε e Ω i t

Substituting Equation (7) in (1) above

Equations (1) to (4) using (6) and (7) reduced to

K m 3 U 0 η 3 + 2 U 0 η 2 + U 0 η L U 0 J w 0 = G r θ G c (9)

K m d 3 w 0 d η 3 + d 2 w 0 d η 2 + d w 0 d η L w 0 J w 0 = 0 (10)

K m 3 U 1 η 3 + ( 1 K m i Ω ) 2 U 1 η 2 + U 1 η L n U 1 J w 1 = G r θ 1 G c C 1 (11)

K m d 3 w 1 d η 3 + ( 1 i Ω K m ) d 2 w 1 d η 2 + d w 1 d η L n w 1 J U 1 = 0 (12)

Z 2 θ 0 η 2 + P r θ 0 η S θ 0 = 0 (13)

Z 2 θ 1 η 2 + P r θ 1 η g θ 1 = 0 (14)

2 C 0 η 2 + S c C 0 η S c K C 0 = 0 (15)

2 C 1 η 2 + S c C 1 η S c q C 1 = 0 (16)

The transformed boundary conditions are.

U 0 ( 0 ) = U 1 ( 0 ) = h ( U η ) , w 0 ( 0 ) = w 1 ( 0 ) = h ( w η ) , θ 0 ( 0 ) = θ 1 ( 0 ) = 1 , C 0 ( 0 ) = C 1 ( 0 ) = 1 at η = 1

U 0 = U 1 0 , w 0 = w 1 0 , θ 0 = θ 1 = 0 , C 0 = C 1 = 0 as η (17)

3. Method of Solution

Introducing F = ( u 0 + i w 0 ) , and i = 1 also H = ( u 1 + i w 1 ) , Equations (9) to (12) transformed to,

K m d 3 F d η 3 + d 2 F d η 2 + d F d η F L F J = G r θ 0 G c C 0 (18)

K m d 3 H d η 3 + E d 2 H d η 2 + d H d η N n H = G r θ 1 G c C 1 (19)

But Equation (18) and Equation (19) are third order differential equation due to presence of viscoelasticity. Therefore F and H terms are expanded using [23] in terms of Km.

F 0 = F 00 + K m F 01 and H 1 = H 11 + K m H 12

Zeroth-order

F 00 111 + F 01 11 + F 01 1 N F 01 = 0 (20)

F 01 11 + F 01 1 N F 01 = F 00 111 (21)

H 11 111 + E H 12 11 + H 11 1 N n H 12 = 0 (22)

E H 12 11 + H 12 1 N n H 12 = H 11 111 (23)

The corresponding boundary conditions transformed to

F 00 ( 0 ) = F 01 ( 0 ) = h ( d U d η ) at η = 0 F 00 = F 01 0 as η

similarly (24)

H 12 ( η ) = h ( H 12 η ) at η = 0

H 00 = H 11 0 as η

Solving Equations (20) to (23) under the boundary Conditions (24) to obtain

U = ( A 10 + K m A 15 ) e n 5 η ( A 11 + K m A 16 ) e n 1 η ( A 12 + K m A 17 ) e n 3 η + K m A 14 e n 6 η + ε e Ω i t [ ( B 2 + K m B 7 ) e f 1 η ( B 3 + K m B 8 ) e n 2 η ( B 4 + K m B 9 ) e n 4 η + K m B 6 e f 2 η ]

W = ( A 11 + K m A 16 ) e n 1 η + ( A 12 + K m A 17 ) e n 3 η ( A 10 K m A 15 ) e n 5 η K m A 14 e n 6 η + i ε e Ω i t [ ( B 3 + K m B 8 ) e n 2 η + ( B 4 + K m B 9 ) e n 4 η ( B 2 + K m B 7 ) e f 1 η K m B 6 e f 2 η ]

θ ( η ) = e n 1 η + E e ( i Ω t n 2 η )

C ( η ) = e n 3 η + E e ( i Ω t n 4 η )

4. Results and Discussion

For easier illustrations on the influence of various parameters which include Grashof number Gr, mass Grashof number Gc, magnetic number M, chemical reaction parameter R, Schmits number Sc, Prandtl number Pr, radiation parameter R, heat source s, slip parameter m and viscoelastic parameter Km on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Computations were carried out using Gr = 2, Gc = 2, Pr = 0.71, Sc = 0.6, R = 0.4, M = 10, K = 5, Ks = 0.5, h = 0.2, s = 0.2, m = 0.05, and Km = 0.0005 various values based on physical quantities are computed and presented in Figures 1-14.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 depict the effects of Prandlt number (Pr) and radiation parameter (R) respectively. Increase in thermal radiation usually discharges heat energy to the fluid flow and enhanced the temperature of the fluid. Figure 3 and Figure 4 demonstrate the effects of Schmidt number (Sc) and chemical reaction parameter (K) on concentration of the fluid. Both Sc and K have adverse effects on concentration of the flow, the concentration decreases with increase in Sc and K. Figure 5 demonstrates the effects of Mass Grashof number (Gc) on primary velocity in slip regime. The velocity decreases with increase in the value of Gc and flow starts at different points on the plate. Figure 6 shows the influence of Gc on secondary velocity in slip regime. The velocity increase with increase in the value of Gc. Figure 7 illustrated the behaviour of Grashof number (Gr) on primary velocity. It indicates that velocity decrease with increase in Gr. Figure 8 depicts the effect of Gc on secondary velocity, the result indicates that the velocity

increase with increase in the value of Gr. Figure 9 and Figure 10 demonstrate the results of slip parameter on both primary and secondary velocities. It exhibits the same trend as Gr and Gc on velocity. Figure 11 and Figure 12 show the effects of Hartmann number (M) on primary and secondary velocity in slip regime. It can be observed that as the value of M decreases the primary velocity increases and as the value of M increases, the fluid flow in secondary velocity depreciates. Figure 13 and Figure 14 indicate the effects of M and Gc on primary and secondary velocity respectively in no slip regime. The two results presented generalised that both primary and secondary velocity obey the boundary condition in no slip regime that is when h = 0 the fluid flows start from the initial.

5. Conclusion

The Slip Condition effects on unsteady MHD fluid flow with radiative heat flux and heat source over a porous medium are investigated by transforming the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations which are then solved using perturbation techniques. The result of the flow variables indicates that the fluid temperature is relatively reduced by increasing radiation parameter (R) and Prandtl number (Pr). Concentration is reduced with slight increase in chemical reaction parameter (K) and Schmidt number (Sc). The primary velocity retards with increase in mass Grashoof number (Gr) and thermal Grasshoof number (Gc), also the reverse is the case in secondary velocity. The primary velocity appreciates with increase in M and depreciates in secondary velocity. These results indicate that flow of fluids with higher magnetic flux can be enhanced in slip regimes. This research could further be extended to cover the effects of slip condition in a mixed convection fluid flow.
