Abstract:The problem of free convection flow through a porous medium has attracted the attention of a number
of scholars because of its possible application to several geophysical application. Singh et al. (2001) have
studied free convection in MHD flow of a rotating viscous liquid in porous medium past a vertical porous plate.
Sengupta and Basak (2002) have investigated unsteady flow of visco-elastic Maxwell fluid through porous
straight tube under the uniform magnetic field. Singh et al. (2003) have reported heat and mass transfer in
MHD flow of a viscous fluid past a vertical plate under oscillatory suction velocity. Cookey and Sigalo(2003)
have studied unsteady MHD free-convection and mass transfer flow past an infinite heated porous vertical plate
with time dependant suction.
