Abstract
In this paper, an investigation of the effects of some physical parameters and Hall current on magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) fluid flow with heat flux over a porous medium was carefully examined, taking into consideration Hall effects where the temperature and concentration are assumed to be oscillating with time. Furthermore, perturbation method is used in solving the governing equations. The profiles of velocity, temperature and concentration are presented graphically, going into the problem the primary and secondary velocity are presented and compute for some physical parameters such as mass Grashof number ( Gc ), Schmidt number Sc , Prandtl number ( Pr ) viscoelastic parameter ( K 1 ) and hall current parameter ( m ). Results indicated that primary velocity increases with increase in values of Gc on one hand and on the other hand it decreases with increase in the values of Pr , K 1 and m . Secondary velocity demonstrated opposite trend.
