In the present study, the hydromagnetic pulsating flow of Casson fluid between two parallel plates in a porous space, thermal radiation and chemical reaction are investigated. The analytical solutions for flow variables are obtained by using a perturbation technique. The effects of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, Nusselt number and Sherwood number distributions are studied in detail.
