description: An investigation is carried out to observe the impacts of non-linear convection and induced magnetic field in the flow of viscous fluid over a porous plate under the influence of chemical reaction and heat source/sink. The plate is subjected to a regular free stream velocity as well as a suction velocity. The subjected non-linear problem is non-dimensionalized and analytic solutions are presented via perturbation method. The graphs are plotted to analyze the effect of relevant parameters on velocity, induced magnetic field, heat and mass transfer fields as well as friction factor, current density, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. It is established that nonlinear convection aspect is destructive for thermal field and its layer thickness. The magnetic field effect enhances the thermal field while it reduces the velocity field. Also, the nonlinear effect subsides heat transfer rate significantly. 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
