Abstract

This study investigated MHD flow in a porous medium across parallel plates with mass transfer in a rotating system. The governing equation of momentum were non-dimensionalised on velocity and concentration gradient. The resulting equations were then transformed using FD to fit some algebraic matrices solved by computer software (MATLAB). The end equations were analysed for velocity and concentration profile.  The numerical data on concentration and velocity profile were recorded and presented graphically for interpretation and discussed.  Some of the results revealed that velocity decreases when magnetic parameter and Grashof number increases. The knowledge obtained from this study can be applied in real life situations such as engineering and industries such as polymer processing.
