Synopsis  : 

In this paper the effect of slip condition, Chemical reaction, radiation and unsteady periodic flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a porous medium in the presence of magnetic field is studied. The governing equations have been solved by general perturbation technique.  The analytical solutions for velocity, temperature, concentration are presented and the effects of various physical parameters like Hartmann number M, Reynolds number Re,, Grashof number Gr, modified Grashof number Gm, permeability parameter k , the chemical reaction parameter kc, and Schmidt number on velocity, temperature and concentration are studied though graphs. The expression for skin friction is also derived and the effects of various physical parameters mentioned above are discussed. It is observed that the velocity of a fluid increases with an increase in slip parameter h, and it shows reverse effect in the case magnetic parameter M and concentration decreases with an increase in chemical reaction parameter kc .
