We propose a model for isothermal mass transport into immiscible complex fluids. The interface is described by two, space and time dependent, structural variables: a scalar Q(r,t) denoting the interfacial area density and a traceless symmetric second order tensor q(r,t) accounting for the shape anisotropy. The mass flux expression includes new contributions attributed to the dynamical changes of the interface. The diffusion-morphology coupling is found to influence both the mass transfer and the dynamics of the interface. The former exhibits non-Fickian behavior while the latter undergoes interfacial deformations that affect both its size and shape, creating internal stresses at the same time.

The objective of this paper is to analyze an unsteady MHD free convective heat and mass transfer boundary flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate immersed in a porous medium with radiation and chemical reaction. The governing equations of the flow field are solved numerical a two term perturbation method. The effects of the various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically and values of skin-frication coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for various values of physical parameters are presented through tables.
