Abstract: 

Unsteady MHD visco-elastic fluid flow has been studied with chemical reaction and thermal diffusion. The flow is governed by a coupled non-linear system of partial differential equations. The coupled non-linear partial differential equations have been discussed by usual transformation technic and the obtained dimensionless equations have been solved numerically. The governing equations of the fluid flow are solved by using perturbation technique for small elastic parameter, subject to the relevant boundary conditions. The solution for the velocity, temperature, concentration have been derived analytically and also its behaviors are discussed with reference to different flow parameters with the help of graphs.
