AB  - The effect of chemical reaction on MHD free convection heat transfer flow of a nanofluid bounded a semi-infinite flat surface in a rotating frame of 
reference is theoretically investigated. The velocity along the plate (slip velocity) is assumed to oscillate on time with constant frequency. The 
analytical solutions of different water based nanofluids containing TiO<sub>2</sub>, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, Ag, Cu and CuO of the boundary layers are assumed, to keep the
problem as realistic as possible. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically by using the small perturbation 
Technique. The effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are presented graphically. The enhancement 
in magnetic parameter leads to a considerable reduction in velocity and chemical reaction parameter is predominant in controlling the concentration 
profile. The results obtained in the simulation of perturbation method are in well agreement with realistic situation of the scientific scenario.
