Abstract A mathematical model is presented to analyse the steady boundary layer slip flow and mass transfer with nth order chemical reaction past a porous
plate embedded in a Darcy porous medium. Velocity as well as mass slips are considered at the boundary. The governing PDEs are transformed into
self-similar nonlinear ODEs by similarity transformations. The reduced nonlinear equations are solved numerically. The momentum boundary layer
thickness is reduced for increase of permeability and suction parameters, whereas it increases with blowing parameter. The increase of velocity slip
parameter reduces the momentum boundary layer thickness and also enhances the mass transfer from… More >
